Yesterday, Thom, Amy and I spent the 4th of July the best way you possibly could. Watching the Red Sox beat the Yankees at yankee stadium. First of all, our seats were fantastic. Thom called in a favor and we sat on the first base side, 3 rows up. Amazing. It started off the slow for the Sox, but as the game when on things started to look up. After Johnny Damon forgot to close his glove to catch the ball (of course he did slam into the fence), the Sox tied the game at 3. Then good ol' Mike Lowell hit a huge 3 run homer and that put them up for good. A beautiful 6-4 victory that helped up to us to celebrate our countries birthday.
Some observations/favorite moments from the game:
1) Johnny Damon cannot read. Atleast not well. Before the game they have taped segments with players of the yankees telling the fans to enjoy the game, not go onto the field and also where they are. (because most yankee fans have no idea where they are at anytime) It was Damon's job to let the fans know they were at yankee stadium. I wish everyone could have seen this, but OH...MY...GOSH! Wow...this could not be a bigger loser.
2)Early in the game and 7 year old boy jumped onto the field to pick up a foul ball. I am serious. Right in front of us, he just jumped onto the field. And he got the ball! And then the security came and took he and his father away because it is kind of against the rules. They did not end up ejecting him,even though derek jeter told the fans over and over again that it was against the rules. How can you not listen to jeter? I mean that guy walks on water, turns water into wine and other blasphemous things. But, it was awesome. That is not something you see everyday.
3) Yankee fans are not smart. And the more they drink, the less intelligent they become. I have a good amount of friends that are great people and very smart. But, for the most part, they make Johnny Damon look like Bill and Ted. (cause you can't make damon look like Socrates or Abraham Lincoln) They continue to wear shirts that they "See you 86 Years" and "Got Rings?" and "Got Melkey?" and "Bahston Suck" and "Why did I fail my GED test?" (the last one is not true, but they should) All I wanted to say to all of them was, "Drink more and drive home." (if you get that reference give yourself a +1)
4)The officials of security for the stadium of the yankees are morons. Seriously. They yelled at people for moving over 1 seat. There was much foul language going on around us, another thing that jeter mc'perfect told us not to do, lots of Red Sox Suck chants and other uncreative things, but when a Yankee Sucks chant started in the 9th (something I did not join, because it is lame) and the security STOPPED the chant! Apparently cap'n derek "never makes a mistake and is the greatest human being to ever live" jeter was only talking about Red Sox fans being vulgar. I love this game!
Anyway, go Sox!
