The camera ate its memory card and I was unable to download any of today’s meager photo crop to my computer. My TV, however, was able to read the card. Click the picture of Endy on my TV to have your mind BLOWN.

Several factors have contributed to the dearth of photos so far this season. One: My camera isn’t working that great. Two: I would like to spend some games kicking it with Endy and Auden, and gossiping.
Auden, however, has stepped forward and offered to shoot. Click his shot above to see the rest of the day’s photos.
The bag waits patiently.
One critical 20-Minutemen mainstay didn’t make it to Opening Day — the first time this founding member hasn’t attended a game since the team debuted in 2007.
It was the emergency bag, and it was missed.
No sunscreen. No bug spray. No baby wipes. No trash bags. No pencils. No hair-elastics. No Kleenex.
No ineffective squeeze-activated “cold” packs to provide empty comfort in the event of debilitating injury.
No potassium iodide pills to protect team members’ thyroids in the event of a nuclear reactor accident or dirty bomb detonation.
NO HAND SANITIZER.
This year the bag, which returned April 17, has a new look and some exciting new options.
The well-known yellow duffel has been replaced by one of those cheap nylon things we give to interns a jaunty Express-emblazoned drawstring pack.
New to the bag are Ace-style elastic bandages. A promising 2009 draftee, five Zyrtec antihistamine pills, hopes to get off the bench this year.

Click picture of this year’s Most Grievously Wounded winner to see this round of photos.
The highly coveted Most Photographed Award goes to photogenic coach Ian Herbert with 37 photos. He’s followed by the almost-as-photogenic Christopher “Chip” Porter with 32. Scott McCarthy and Amanda Erickson are tied for third with 26 photos.
Most Photographed Woman thus goes to Amanda Erickson, setting a new record in female playerdom.
In a stunning sweep, Most Photographed Rookie has been won by Amanda Erickson as well. Ryan Derousseau came in second, with 25 photos, and Nathan Martin third, with 21. (Note: Duplicate photos used in Do’s and Don’ts do not count toward an individual’s total; nor do Capital Challenge photos.)
