Well, my Sigma 18-200 decided to go to Yankee Stadium, and boy, did he pick a good night...because it was the Jason Giambi Show...
Whacking his second multi-run homer in as many at bats...see ya...over the right field fence...

Oh, they musta been booing and crying like little sissies in those bars in Atlanta (wimps)!

The Big Unit pitches 4-hit ball with 9 strike outs. 94-mph and he's how old?!

After Scott Proctor came on in the 8th, he gave up a two-run shot to Chipper Jones (imagine a grown man going around and calling himself "Chipper"...loser!). Scotty put a man on in the 9th and out came Joe and in came Mo who quickly euthanized the Braves, striking out the last two batters...

Oh, the drama! Every Yankee game is like a baseball movie (only it costs five times as much as a movie! :eek: )
Well the moral of the story is, the Sigma 18-200 is no L lens...heck, it ain't even on par with the cheapest Canon lens...but, for 340 bucks, it held it's own. Not too bad...not that great...but not too bad. Anyway, it had a lot of fun at the game...:D
All shots at ISO 1600, BTW...
Now, what's that stuff they're doing in Germany, running around a field for hours getting nothing accomplished? People watch that because.....? And, imagine, having "penalty shots" in baseball just so you could get something on the scoreboard? The thought is absurd! :p
