Bought two tickets to every Smokies game this week only to be diagnosed with vertigo the day of the first game - went anyway for about four innings but had to leave because the park kept spinning on me.

Veal pitched last night and I was sorry to miss him. The performance in box score looked good and it would have been good to get some footage of him. Spearman who had a good night the first game this week ended last night's extra inning contest with a 3 run shot in the top of the 12th.

If I feel up to it tonight I'll get back out there and see if Samardzija starts.
