Last night was me & Lisa's 4th annual White Sox-Yankees game. When I first moved to Chicago, Lisa & I realized that we had baseball in common. We decided to go to the White Sox-Yanks that season and have gone to at least 1 White Sox-Yanks game every year since. When we went to that first game she said, "I love going to games w/ you because you really know the game and yet you're a girl so we can talk about Jeter's butt and it's ok." That was 4 years ago and we're still talking about Jeter's butt.
This year Lisa treated me to the game for my birthday. The start was delayed by rain but we got a few innings in. I saw my favorite beer vendor who gave me a free beer for my birthday and chatted w/ the Berwyn boys behind us. Lisa made a HIGHLY offensive comment comparing Jeter to Manny which almost destroyed our friendship. I must confess that we had really idiotic Yankee fans around us-- this punk kid with an oh-so-clever tshirt with the "Top 10 Lies Told in Cancun" on the back and a girl w/ a ponytail right on the top of her head, insane make-up and a Jeter jersey on tied in a knot a la Daisy Duke. Yep, those are my peeps. Anyway, the Yanks scored 3 runs and then another rain delay. After a while we were just cold, wet and a little cranky so we home. Good thing-- Yanks lost. Who wants to watch that? Glad we left on a high note. Can't wait for next year!
When you're bored during a game delay, this is what happens-- temporary tatoos

AJ warming up and Paulie "trotting". Paulie doesn't run. Just trots. No really. There's a commercial and everything about it.

Oh, how fun! You realize Carlton Fisk is in the Hall of Fame as a Red Sox, right? :)
I must clarify that I did not compare Jeter and Manny Ramirez. I said that opposing fans' booing of Jeter meant that he was a threat to do their team some harm b/c he's a good player, and he expects to be booed on the road. I said, "Just like Manny expects to be booed on the road." Of course there are many reasons to boo Manny, besides the fact that he might beat you b/c he's a great hitter (even Michele would have to admit that): his pajama-like uniform, his dreadful dreads, his attitude, etc.
