It's hard to imagine a whole year has already passed since we brought Cyrus to his first game. Last year we stayed five innings (Phils didn't score) and this year we stayed 7 1/2 (Phils scored in the sixth). The Astros completed a rare four game sweep. The Phils currently have won 11 of their last 12 day games, needless to say this was that sole loss. I promised my nephew a few years ago that when he was in 3rd grade we'd take him to Philly, now that he's entering 3rd we brought him, nephew #2, and my parents to Citizen's Bank. We took the tour of statues on the outside (Robin Roberts, Schmidt, & Lefty) then entered Ashburn Alley. My nephew ate his 1st Philly Cheesesteak as Shira ate her last Luzinski BBQ Turkey sandwich. After getting autographs from "The Bull" we walked to our seats. I caught a glimpse of the Halladay Perfect game ceremony as we sat. It was a nice view from the first base side as we were hidden from the sun. The 'Stros jumped right on Kyle Kendrick and the Phils. Carlos Lee even made time for a slow homerun trot around the bases. The only Phillies run came as J-Roll dashed from first to home on a Chase Utley double to right. Cyrus enjoyed sitting with my parents, he sang with grandma and pee'd on grandpa! Final score: Astros 5, Phillies 1. The Phils have yet to win with Cyrus in the house, but we have plenty of memories regardless.
