take me out to the ball game... by northy

take me out to the ball game...

our home town blue jays watch from the bench as the dodgers have a confab on the mound... will our jays sink or swim? tonight they sank like a stone... snatching defeat from the jaws of victory...

for the mad minute word challenge... the word is natatores which means swimming birds... i was really hoping the jays could pull this off for me... but no such luck ;p

VERY think-outside-the-box, creative interpretation for the word. Condolences on the loss. :-(

PS Love the tag.

brilliant!!! so i give you back the ball on this mad minute word because i don't think people want to play when i play it and I don't want this thing to die on my watch. much more fun from the sidelines. :-)

They seem able to do that fairly often! 20 years since a world series title!

@summerfield oh - ok... So I will need to set a word? The one that gets announced next Monday and posted next Wednesday? Sorry - I still seem to be in a post-vacation, post-migraine, post-late-night-at-blue-jays-game fog... At least I fixed the tag ;p

They're birds - and they're not swimming - it made perfect sense to me - great processing!

The antique tones make this look like an old time sports shot. Nice.

"snatching defeat from the jaws of victory..." ROFL!

So that's where our Dodgers were that week. I don't follow baseball, but I do have the Dodgers schedule just so I know when they're home. Since I work in downtown L.A., it helps to know when the Dodgers are in town because they sure can snarl up traffic.

Cool shot. Love the processing.
