Opening Day

With Zach on the DL for a few days (mild fever), Ben took his place in the stands at the Phillies home opener today.

It was a pretty lousy day for a game. It was cold, and while it was never really in danger of being delayed by rain, the game was played in a constant drizzle.

Nevertheless, all of the excitement involved in eating hot dogs and soft pretzels, getting a Phanatic coloring book, seeing home runs hit by Chase Utley and Jimmy Rollins, and ultimately seeing the Phillies lose to the Washington Nationals by a score of 11-6 was too much for Ben, who fell asleep within five minutes of getting in the car to go home.
