The Slide

Petco Park, San Diego, CA

Allow me to brag just a wee bit. This was quite the weekend for we San Diegans. For openers we had idyllic 74 F. weather under cloudless skies.

The San Diego State Aztecs trounced BYU in NCAA football last night, and My Chargers beat up on Karen’s New England Patriots 41-17 in NFL Action. My Padres beat the hated Los Angeles Dodgers 3 to 1 to put icing on their Western Division Championship crown.

I attended the Padre game which was a target rich environment. I'll post a few more early this week. Meanwhile the Padres head East to St. Louis to begin the playoffs for the first time since 1998.

How Sweet It Is!

Baseball puts me to sleep. But this image doesn't. Excellent stop action here. I like it. GMV!.

Great action shot, Robin

I like the graphic effect to this terrific action shot. Off to get an ice cream cone too !

A nice action shot, is this the American version of the UK game for girls called Rounders.

Great action shot,Robin.

Nice action shot at third base. I bet the second shot will cause a run on ice cream cones, all over the world, today. I already know where I am going to buy mine.

markvm		03-Oct-2005 14:46
Nice catch, Robin! Very nice looking lens, also!

Coleen Perilloux Landry		03-Oct-2005 06:19
Doesn't look like a victory.

Guest		03-Oct-2005 05:09
Nice action shot

shatterbug		03-Oct-2005 04:35
Ha! When isn't it 74 F and sunny there? Great capture in the first, the second shot is terrific!

Guest		03-Oct-2005 03:50
Thats a great shot. Looks as if he didnt make it though.

Cindy Flood		03-Oct-2005 02:21
The second photo is awesome.

Brian McAllister		03-Oct-2005 01:18
Hey. Sports guy!! Great shots Robin. What a day. I bet there were lots of things to photograph. Can't wait to see what you post next.

Gayle P. Clement		03-Oct-2005 01:14
I like your second photo a lot, Robin. Great catch.

@Petesie... it should have been an out, but the Dodger 3rd baseman dropped the ball!

petesie		03-Oct-2005 00:57
I'd say it is going to be an out and you did great on this one. Love the ice cream photo, but it made my mouth water. Happy for all of your teams, since they weren't playing any of my faves!

Excellent action. Great composition. I'm glade you had a good sports weekend! Michigan State lost to Michigan, the Sox lost to the Yankees, my old high school got trounced and the Buffalo Bills looked like the Buffalo Jills. But I had one of the best bike rides of my life today. 39.6 miles in pure sunshine, no wind and with a nice bunch of fellow recumbent riders (The Recumbenteers).

Very impressive, Mr. Reid. Love the ice cream shot, too. See you next weekend!!!
