A’s/Yankees Series; Game 2:
Gorgeous Saturday morning. Perfect day for a ball game. I’m anal when it comes to getting to The Stadium, so I wanted to leave by 10:15 to make it to The Stadium to meet up with my buddies from Connecticut to pre-game. My buddy Ian and I get there at 11am but my buddies wouldn’t make it there til at least noon. So we kick back a 6 pack while waiting for them. When they finally arrive, we meet up with them and have another beer. We all decide to head into the game around the 2nd inning or so. Ian and I decided to sit where the CT guys have their package seats. So of course, I get bombarded with the name calling once we get up to the seats. I don’t say anything for a few minutes, but once again, I can’t keep quiet, so I decide to yell back.
This was now the beginning of the re-newal of hatred towards most Yankee fans, not all. As I started to become a little verbal, a security guard comes up to me and threatens to throw me out of The Stadium. This doesn’t sit too well with me because I am now being picked on by security, when their primary job is to protect the fans who are being harassed, like myself in this case. But their excuse for threatening to throw me out was because of the Oakland jersey I wore to the game.
I didn’t really watch too much of the game because I was in a constant shouting match with approximately 10 fans in the area. One was in his late 40’s or early 50’s and donned a Jose Canseco hair cut. Another guy tried making fun of me, but then I just attacked him for being obese. Shut him up. Another guy and his friend started on the Atlanta Braves Chop because of my Hudson jersey, so I just went along with it. When they saw me do the chop, I think it got them A-Holes annoyed. So they yelled more at me, then I had to call the guy out for looking like white-trash with his white-trash mustache. Then there was the dirty hippie yelling at me. I told him to take a shower.
The A’s ended up losing the game. Blanton didn’t pitch that bad, from what the stats show (again, I wasn’t paying attention to the game, I was defending myself and my team.). Blanton threw for 6 innings, allowed 4 earned runs and struck out three.
I vouch that the A’s will win tomorrow and I will have the last laugh.
