The Angels line up along the third base line on Opening Day at Safeco Field, April 14, 2009.

I'm a LookoutLanding regular and shot this at the game yesterday. Enjoy!

UPDATE: Positive Paul has made the LARGE version of this available for anyone who wants it at his FLICKR account linked here.

Took me long enough, eh?

:-)

It was fun watching your defense fall apart for a change instead of ours…

Escobar!

I was just going to comment – I didn’t realize he is with the team now?!?!

thanks!

what is Willits doing there? Not only is he out of place with the pitchers, but not even standing close to anyone.

That'll only happen if that one prospect is the second coming of Christ and redemption for mankind can only be achieved by smacking many balls out of the yard.

Wow - front page news on HH on my first day here?

It still sucks that the playing field was a bit un-level for you guys. I’m sure it was tough for you not to have the scheduled starter who was supposed to go. Y’alls team may be my least favorite in sports, but I don’t wish that on anyone. I said a prayer for Nick’s family, friends and fans, and for his soul, when we had the moment of silence for him yesterday.

Still, damn though. How could you guys not just beat the crap out of Silva…

Kind thoughts well appreciated, fine pictures admired...

…last question still unanswered.

Kendrick and Kendry still being interrogated on that one.

I see red people

Hey now...

It’s just as much Vlad’s fault.

Things I cheered during the game:

Me: C’mon GIDP here, Corco!!!!
Tom Hutlyer (Safeco Announcer): Now Batting, Vladimir Guerrero!
Me: (turning to my bro-in-law) Or Not!

(Vlad proceeds to GIDP)

I swear Vlad kills us every single time. He’s obviously struggling right now, and aging an extra year in the offseason probably didn’t help him, but he’s still one of the batters in the game I fear the most as a Mariners fan.

And love, too.

Forgot to add that part. Huge Vlad fan, except for the fact that he chose the Angels to play for ;-)

Hmmm...

With Vidro gone, that’s one less threat.

But Kenji’s still on the M’s, so Vladi might not even have a chance in his own division!

You should be able to click the "All sizes" link...

How does 2896×1404 sound?

The quality sucks when it’s blown up that big, but they won’t let me take my good lenses in there (yet).

You're welcome!

It’s slightly off-kilter due to the three pre-game beers…

Wife's a traffic safety expert...

…I had my 3 beers before the game and walked over to the park. Wasn’t even really buzzed, and didn’t drink a lick in the park. Too busy lugging a 20 pound camera bag up tot he top of the stadium :-)

Um...

off-kilt…er . The thought of a guy wearing the Celtic/Scottish version of a dress is bad enough. The thought of a Marooners fan wearing one is worse…much worse…especially one engaged in the hearty consumption of alcoholic beverages. The thought of that Marooners fan taking off the kil…OMG, my mind’s eye was just blinded by a flash from the heavens. Proof…there really is a God! Thank you dear Lord for spiting me!!!

Seriously, thanks for posting/sharing the pictures. Much appreciated.

Us "libruls" in the PNW get away with a lot...

So you had visions of Brendan Frasier in a kilt? Nice!

Hillary Swank, FTW!!!

Um. Yeah. Er not…

Brendan Frasier is your "fan"tasy, not mine...yeesch...

…Hillary Swank fits the image much, MUCH better. Thank you…I think. Maybe…Helen Hunt…

I think you need to get out in the sun more…oh wait. PNW. Nevermind. Attend a Tea Party instead…daytime, nighttime…is there a difference?

Great picture!

I sent a request on the pictures Flickr page to add it to my Angels group over there – would love to have it & any other pictures of the Angels you managed to get that night! Thanks!

I'm not superstitious, but I'm a little stitious.
