Hoofta: A Cactus League Summary
Well, we made it back (actually, I shouldn't say "we;" haven't heard from OC yet). The raging hangover continues, along with a slight case of food poisoning from dinner last night. Not good times.
That said, the Heavy Soul Spring Training (somewhat) Annual continued to solidify itself as the greatest of great times. The partying paradigm has shifted--apparently getting older allows you to hit it hard during the day, but not so much late-night--but still fun as hell. Some other changes: actual sit-down dining, The Deuce's modified Tucker Max death juice (at 10 in the morning, on a Sunday!), pink captains' what-a-chairs, photo documentation, moustaches, playing pool football, and some new bars.
But some things never change, such as MIB's ability to entertain an entire section of a baseball stadium, crappy camping grills, luke-warm chili for too-hot hot dogs, hundreds of dollars worth of beer, Mark Prior getting lit up like a Christmas tree, and an sense of impending doom for the Chicago Cubs.
All in all, a great trip.
