So last night's game was interesting to say the least. Me and a few buddies got to Hyannis about 4 hours before the scheduled first pitch between the Braves and the Mets. We were planning on tailgating/BBQing/getting ready for Opening Day, but the rain made the tailgate impossible. It also nearly cancelled the game.
The groundskeepers, players, coaches and even the GM got involved in laying a lot of new dirt on the infield to dry it up. The field was deemed playable and the game went on - until the bottom of the 7th, at which point an extremely dense fog settled on the field, making it impossible to see. Braves RF Ben Klafcynski completely missed a line drive to right field, probably because he just didn't see the ball. We waited through a 10 or so minute delay until the umpires called the game due to fog. Thus, the Braves start the season 0-1 with a fog-shortened loss.
Next game is tonight at 5:30 pm EST. You can listen in at www.bournebraves.org by clicking on the Teamline link. Pre-game show at about 5:15, game starts 5:30.
Peace and love.
