June 21st - Sean and I leave Des Moines and head West.
June 22nd-23rd - Friday and Saturday night games at Coors watching Luis Gonzalez and Larry Walker continue their hitting sprees.
June 24th-25th - Head through New Mexico (Carlsbad Caverns) and on toward Phoenix. Follow Diamondbacks back home.
June26th-27th - Night games at Bank-1 versus Houston. Hook up with Jason who has been working at Intel in Phoenix since January. We're looking forward to being with him all day next Wednesday!

Original Plan:
June 29th - By Friday night get to San Diego to see Dodgers-Padres games. See how some of the other NL West teams are faring.
June 30th - Hurry up to Anaheim for Saturday afternoon game against hottest team in MLB --- Seattle. We'll watch Garrett Anderson cool off that Mariner pitching.
July 1st - Can we get up to San Francisco by Sunday afternoon? We hope so. If we can make it by 2pm, we'll see Cardinals at PacBell.
July 2nd-3rd - We can catch Anaheim at Oakland games Monday and/or Tuesday night before we head back East.
July 4th-5th - Heading Back East toward Denver again.
July 6th - We must be following the Angels. Friday night we can catch Anaheim at Colorado.
July 7th - If we haven't had enough baseball, we can catch the Astros at Kansas City Saturday night on our way back home.
Whew.
For some reason I think we might miss some of these games. Sean & I are always up to changing plans on the fly. But this is our schedule. Stay tuned for updates (and pictures) of our progress.
