Things said by the DB Boston fan sitting behind me at the game tonight
I had the rare honor of sitting in front of an esteemed fan of Red Sox Nation while taking in the Yankees-Red Sox game at the Stadium tonight. Below are some of the highlights with which he was regailing his travelling party:
- "Did I ever tell you about the time I got so wasted in New Orleans at the Saints game?" - Explained the black batter's eye in centerfield to the fans sitting to my left, providing a complete history of the concept and detailing other aspects. - (to the beer man) "Hey, buddy, I'll take two of those off your hands." - "Oh, look, Kevin Cash is up. That guy's money (ugh). I'm going to be saying that all night." - "Tim Wakefield he can pitch all night long, the knuckleball doesn't require much force, so it doesn't stress the arm."
****Break**** Wakefield only threw 80 pitches tonight, coming out after the fifth inning.
-"Did I ever tell you about the time I was on the Kiss Cam at the San Jose- Bruins game?" - "Jed LOW-ree, Jed LOW-ree" (like Martin Lawrence in Bad Boys)(Go to 1:33)
Needless to say, as if A-Rod coming up short in the clutch like 40 times tonight wasn't irksome enough, I had to listen to this chowderhead (who sat in Section 220 Row C Seat 3, for the record) for the 6 innings I stuck around. I'm really going to miss the place.
