Six shot panorama Autostitched and cropped in my seat (during a slow inning). Unfortunately, AT&T is really sluggish in the stadium so the 2 mg upload took the entire last 3 innings. Sent from my iPhone

A gorgeous waste of electricity

While processing this six-shot Autostitch during a pitching change, I couldn't help but wonder how much energy could be saved if they turned the lights down during the hour or so of game time spent between innings and changing pitchers. Seriously, 37,000 people sitting under mega juice-sucking spotlights with the approximate comparable brightness of...the sun...watching one solitary dude dawdle in from the bullpen in left field. Why not turn the lights down, lead the new pitcher in all rockstar-like -- with a penlight -- and then when he's on the mound...bang...hit him with the spots and a cool rap beat.

It'll save energy, help the environment and liven up the game as well.
