It's Fun To Be A Fan!

Last night we went to watch the Kernels take on Clinton LumberKings in Game 1 in a best of 3 series, first round of playoffs. It was a great game! The Kernels won!!! This is the first time in 5 years (or so) they have made it into the playoffs. They play again tonight at Clinton, and again tomorrow night if needed.

Here are a few shots from the game. Sorry they are dark...I don't think my flash is exactly the greatest.


Here is 1st baseman Mark Trumbo hitting his home run of the night!




The Running of the Eyeballs! This is my favorite (I know: wierd-o) game between innings. The 3 eyeballs race from the first base side to the third base side. They usually try knocking each other down in the process. My fav, the blue eye, actually ended up winning for once!


The Kernels running out from the dug out to celebrate the win!



The night wouldn't be complete without a self portrait.



The final score board from the night. Check out how fast that last pitch was: 95 mph!!!

    So these eye balls... I'm intrigued! Why eye balls? Is there something I'm missing here? Shouldn't it be field corn, pop corn, and Indian corn? Or corn, soybeans, wheat, and barley? Hmmm.. just thinking outloud! :)

    Actually, that's a very good question. The Running of the Eyeballs is sponsored by an eye doctor's office in Cedar Rapids. Therefore, they use eyeballs. Hope that makes sense!
