isotopes

The Albuquerque Isotopes defeated Oklahoma City 6-2 tonight, leaving the 'Topes sitting 2 1/2 in front of Oklahoma City in the PCL American South. The two teams face off again tomorrow night and Thursday night.

M.A.L. and I took in Friday night's game vs. the Iowa Cubs at Albuquerque's beautiful Isotopes Park. The ball was flying all over the place in the mile-high air. Abq pounded Iowa, 16-8, behind Brett Harper's six RBI and two home runs.

The 'Topes pounded out an Albuquerque record 24 hits.

While I miss seeing the Arizona Diamondbacks at BOB (Bank One Ballpark, now Chase Field), to me it's a lot more fun going to Isotopes games. The tickets are cheap, the seats are great, and the weather is fantastic. Great place for some baseball!
