Is anyone else relieved that the Red Sox-Yankees game has started and no nuke has gone off?
I was up the past two nights dreading this. I was afraid I would get sent to Iraq if it happened.
As we walked up to Yankee Stadium, I asked my wife if we'd made it past the point of when the bomb went off. Thankfully we had, so we knew we were in the clear. The game was fucking awesome. We were up in the nosebleeds where the true New Yorkers sit. There was a group of 10 or so New Yorkers in the section next to us. In the first 3 innings of the game, they would boo every Sox fan that walked by. By the 4th inning, the alcohol started kicking in, and the boo's became random shouts of "You suck!" and chants of "Asshole......asshole....." By the time the 6th inning came, it was "Fuck you, you fuckin' fuck!" and "Your mutha suck cock!" By this time, they had moved on from just harassing the Sox fans. They started talking shit to the Cracker Jack vendor, who responded with his own litany of F-bombs. If a guy in a pink shirt walked by, it was "Pink shirts are for queers!" If a well endowed female walked by, you would hear a "Tell your tits to stop looking at my eyes!"
It was the best baseball game I have ever been to. Oh, and the actual game was pretty good, too. There were a shit-ton of Sox fans there, and when they pulled ahead 6-3, they erupted into a "Lets Go Red Sox <clap, clap, clap clap clap> chant that was loud as shit. I leaned over to my buddy and said "You'd never see anything like this at a Braves game." Apologies to you Braves fans.
