GAME DAY!

Last night Allie and I went to our first game of the 2009 baseball season. As expected, our mere presence helped lead the Yankees to victory! You're welcome, Yankees.

Here are some first reactions to the NEW Yankees stadium:

-Stadium Staff...very friendly (and not in an annoying or patronizing way)
-ATMs!
-Beer Prices are up $2 on average (BOOOOO!)
-On a clear day, the outfield is blinded by the sun
-On a windy day, balls are being gusted to home-run status
-Urinals are uncomfortably close to one another (I was shoulder to shoulder with my peeing brethren, a little familiar for my taste)

All-in-all a successful outing. In time, I'm sure we can expect to see that patina of grime we've come to welcome at our new stadium as well.

Dollar Store Deals Part 2

Some of you may remember Dollar Store deals Part 1, where we were introduced to such great items as the mighty Staunion permanent marker. Well, I was doing a bit of shopping yesterday and came across a bin of these:

I guess someone decided that these were NOT, in fact, a safer baseball.
I cant comment on just HOW safe they may or may not have been, but they were sure crappy.

CURRENT FAVORITE BASEBALL NAMES

A top five list:

5. Evan Longoria (Rays)
4. Ebby "Nuke" LaLoosh (Bulls)
3. Milton Bradley (Rangers)
2. Coco Crisp (Red Sox)
1. Boof Bonser (Twins)

I cheated on one of those. This is my way of ignoring A-Rod's digression into Kabbalaism. Anyhoozers... 4 days until the CD release party.
