On Location - Twins at Sox, 9/8/07

So, I guess I didn't take as many pictures as I thought I did, but I'll share what I've got. Also, I took my smaller, less fancy camera because I was taking my good one to the US-Brazil game, so the zoomed-in shots are a little grainy, but that's a price I'm willing to pay for a picture of Razor Shines. Pictures after the jump...
Me and Adam had really good seats. Row 7 to be precise.
This is how close I was to Jason Tyner. This picture is not intended to be an endorsement of the featured player, merely an illustration of proximity.
YES! RAZOR SHINES! I don't care if he is the 3rd Base Coach for the Sox. Razor was always my favorite when he was with Indianapolis.
Everyone's favorite blogging pitcher. Adam (Cubs fan) might not pay any attention to the Twins, but he can sure spot a mismanaged bullpen when he sees it. His exclamation of "Who the f*** is Carmen Cali?" pretty much summed up his outing.
Cuddy at the plate
All-in-all, it was a good time, even with the Twins losing. I do have to say this though - the Sox fans I was around were all really cool people. They were all good natured and we joked back and forth. So, thanks to those guys for a fun afternoon.

What? No pictures of their forward artillery positions? No ammo dumps or fuel depots? No armor columns? What kind of recon work is that? Were you the guy they sent to find the WMDs in Iraq?
Just kidding, of course. I've been to the Cell just once, but it was a fine time and we also found the fans to be friendly and courteous. Of course, we were there in September of 2005 and the Sox were on their way to the World Series, so the amity may have had something to do with that. Our seats were in the first row of the first upper deck, just past the 3rd base dugout, so the view was excellent, and you didn't have to sit sideways to see home plate. The freshly cooked sausages with mustard, grilled onions, and sauerkraut were very tasty, and the beer was nice and cold. Took the train from downtown and it was packed with Twins fans going to the game, so we had several nice conversations during the ride. I'd recommend a trip to Chicago for a Twins game anytime.
Where's Punto?
In an ideal world, he would be in the crowd somewhere. Or at least in the dugout.
Fine work, Andrew. I love the shot of Neshek.
No pictures from Soldiers' Field??? Nor pictures of the "EL"; chicago-style dawgs or other vittles, etc.? More, more, more.
Your wish is my command. I'll get some pics up from the US-Brazil game.
I would be interested in your thoughts on the game as well. I caught most of it on ESPN2.
Gotta get some shots from Hot Doug's!
