What A 2-10 Season Will Do To You

The Air Force football team had the worst year in the Academy's history finishing 2-10 (one of those being a win over D-1 AA 4-8 Colgate team and the other over a 3-8 Army squad). And when you shoot a team getting blown out every other week you get kind of bored and look for something different, like these shots though the parabolic microphones that block my view from the sidelines:

The green is relaxing.
Thank you to CBS Sports Network for the chill effect

ESPN U had the amber going and it would kind of
angry up the blood, but did offer up a decent effect.

Even if nothing good is going on in the pic
it still looks pretty cool.

The team never quit. They played hard, but were just over matched and/or out coached in those 10 losses. I've been shooting Air Force for the last 3 years and I've just had the feeling that they don't know how to win (or know what to do with a lead). In games where they were the better team, were dominating early (like Michigan & Navy in 2012 and Nevada & San Diego State this year), something just didn't click and the team just fell apart and lost the game. This year you can blame the young age of the team, but last year? Not so much. Hopefully 2014 will bring better luck to the Falcons.

Whatcha Doing?

There's living on the edge, and then there's LIVIN' ON THE EDGE! I'm guessing this would fall under the "neither" category. 

Ryan Ortiz #6 - "Hey. Whatcha doing?"
Mysterious Glove Fixin' Guy #46 - "Fixin' my glove."
 Ryan Ortiz - "Can I watch?"
Mysterious Glove Fixin' Guy #46 - "Sure. I guess."

Pedro Figueroa #32 - "Mind if I watch too?"
Paul Smyth #35 - "Me too! Me too! I want to watch!"

Kyler Newby #16 - "You fixing your glove?"
Mysterious Glove Fixin' Guy #46 - "Yeah."
Brian Gordon #18 - "Ooo! Ooo! Can I watch?"

Baseball Is Boring

In honor of the Sky Sox taking on the Sacramento River Cats tonight here is a shot of a really bored Sacramento bullpen from July 9th:

From left to right - staring at the ground guy, trimming his nails guy,
bored bullpen catcher guy, so bored he can't stop yawning guy,
staring off into space guy, this is even boring in Japanese guy &
this is even more boring as Japanese translator guy.

BONUS! The fans! - blonde chick, bald dude &...

...a dude with poor posture wearing a t-shirt that
has a nakedish He-Man guy riding a bear/tiger thingy.

He looks bored, but you can't be bored with a t-shirt like that. He's got to be so intense he just looks bored.

Um. Wait For It. You're Out.

Nothing super-exciting here except for a dude being thrown out by 30 feet on the back end of a double steal. Fernando Martinez, #8 from the Oklahoma City Redhawks, is very, very late for his tag-out by Sky Sox 2nd baseman Brandon Wood. Tardiness is rude, even in baseball.

You're...you're...wait for it...almost there...OUT!
