Teachers Night at the Padres Game

I attended my third Padres game in five weeks. A record for me I think. I went tonight because it was teachers appreciation night and we got tickets for half price.

Got to Petco Park early enough to eat dinner and sit on in the outdoor dinning area with a view of the Convention Center, the new pedestrian walkway and Conrado Bridge.

There are teachers that got special recognition before the game. Most of the fans showed up after the first inning, so that's why there are so many empty seats. The attendance was over 29,000, which is good for a Padres game.

The Padres got themselves into a hole after Miami got a 5-0 lead after the first inning. But then later the Padres scored six runs to take the lead. Ex-Padre blew a save in the 9th after the Marlins got the lead. The game ended close to midnight in the 12th inning with the Marlins getting the win. The 4 1/2 hour game was long but fun since the Padres had many chances to win, but didn't.
