Day Three Hundred and Fifteen

The Park Full of Barks


Adam texted me from the stands, only a few seats away, “It’s Bark in the Park Night…So I guess we just have to get a dog? It’s the rules…” Gosh, I wish it were only that simple! We so badly want a dog, and tonight, with puppies all around, it was especially hard for us to combat the urge to go out and get one. Thankfully, the game didn’t end until 9:00 PM; else we would be cuddled with a furry pet on our couch right now. And as much as we’d like one, it’s just not the right timing for us. Booo. Maybe this offseason?! 


 I like when Adam sits in the stands. He hates it. But at least I can text him whenever I want. And stare at him. And wink at him. And bring him snacks. But that all got cut off tonight when Rosie came and sat down next to my man. I didn’t mind much though. Adam really respects and looks up to Rosie, so whenever he has a chance to make conversation with him, Adam takes full advantage of the opportunity. Coach Rosenthal is the minor league pitching coordinator who oversees the work of every minor league pitching coach in the Marlins’ organization. His opinions matter greatly in the careers of every pitching prospect, and it certainly doesn’t hurt that Adam’s found at least a little bit of his favor.


Meet Hamilton the Hammerhead. He makes me miss Guilford the Grasshopper. A lot. On any given night that he makes an appearance, Hamilton can be seen with an ultra-soaked buttocks region and other various sweat spots covering his entire sharky self. It’s sort of disturbing. Nobody should have to suffer the job of putting on that costume. Florida heat is too cruel for that. The Hammerheads ought to invest in some sort of Under Armor sweat-wicking costume if they’re going to even have a mascot at all. I think they’d at least attract more interest and hugs that way…just a suggestion.
