Yankees vs. Indians
So it’s been about three weeks since anything was posted on here. It’s the first game I’ve been at since April 6 against Tampa. I should be working on stuff for school but of course I’m easily sidetracked and here I am. All I know is Matt has been to two games since then but hasn’t written anything…
There really wasn’t anything to remarkable about this game beside Joba giving up the lead in the eighth. It’s ridiculous to think this had anything to do with it, but there were a ton of bugs up in the lights tonight, some even flying into people in the upper deck. Just saying.
The Yanks also should have scored more than three runs of Carmona. They had baserunners all over the place but couldn’t get the big hit, and had a rally cut short early with what looked like a dreadful call by the third base umpire. But when you get 11 guys on base in five innings you have to score more than three runs.
The rest of the crowd must have gotten really bored to during the middle innings, because of the incessant attempts at getting the wave going through the upper deck. I really can’t think of anything I hate more than the wave, except maybe Christian Backman and Sidney Crosby.
Billy, thinking of last years playoff/bug debacle posed this question during the middle of the game…
“Do you think Joba’s pumped up to get in this game and face Cleveland again?”
To which Lyndsie replied, “Because he’s an Indian?”
And finally the newly expanded
Drunk Quote/Drunk Fan Moment of the Game
Easily goes to the guy in the pink shirt with his collar popped who started the game about three rows ahead of us. Unfortunately for him he ended up about 15 rows in front of us, and he didn’t use the stairs to get there. Basically bounced his face off the seats in the upper deck. And that’s why you don’t sneak a bottle of Jack Daniels into the Stadium in your jacket.
It’s times like these that make me wish my camera wasn’t broken. Somehow the guy got up on his own an walked away, but I’m sure as soon as the alcohol wears off he’s gonna be feeling that one.
Tonight was not the best night at the Stadium, but at least I didn’t tumble down 15 rows of stairs.
