Albequerque Isotopes

So finally we're in Albequerque! Being the Simpsons fans that we are, we have long wanted to see an Albequerque Isotopes game. It's a great park, unlike Colorado Springs, there's actually a view of the mountains. It's beautiful. They have a great Mascot, named Orbit. It's some kind of space dog and very cute. We met up with the sister of a good friend of ours, she was a blast. The Isotopes were playing our own Memphis Redbirds, so it was fun. We got to see John Rodreguez, Skip Schumaker and Rick Ankiel, along with a lot of player that we have seen work their way up through the ranks. Also, milwaukee is no longer unique in racing mascots, this park featured a race between Taco, a hot pepper and a green chili. There was a lot of animosity between the Taco and the pepper, so it wasn't always a clean race.

We saw two games in Albequerque, the red birds lost the first one and won the second game. Both games were a blast.
