We ha...VJ - I was at that 19-8 game of misery, too! We had "handicapped" seats over by the Pesky pole. Worst seats in the world. I basically had to stay reclined in my chair so the people next to me could see the field. And, because it was a playoff game, most of the folks around us were standing up. I recall having to tell Skip things like "Hideki Matsui just hit a 3-run homer," because she couldn't see a fucking thing. <br /><br />I spent most of the time we were there telling people standing in front of us to get out of the way. And, I got in a fight with a Yankees fan next to us. It was horrible. We left after 6 innings because we couldn't really see the game and it was clear the Sox were cooked.<br /><br />One last horrific memory from that game ... While we were sitting in these horrible seats, a guy in a much better wheelchair accessible seat 15 feet closer to the Pesky pole STOOD UP from his wheelchair and WALKED DOWN THE STAIRS towards the concessions. I almost strangled him. How dare he lie to get the handicapped seat!Crankyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995365444853477833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8831516808434643835.post-80414652272728677782012-02-17T16:18:40.402-05:002012-02-17T16:18:40.402-05:00Wakefield was a great pitcher.

I was AT that 19-8 game of misery, IN THE BLEACHERS (and I hate the bleachers) worst game I've ever attended, even though I got to see Wake pitch.<br /><br />3. It wasn't a brave front. You KNOW how much I've fawned over him for more than a decade (those BLUE eyes, that neck! Yum!) yet...after a decade of adoration he did something that squashed a lot of that blind love. It's me not him. I'm Sicilian and have a hard time with forgiveness....perhaps a weekend post about this would be in order.<br /><br />4. Regardless, everyone should be nice to me! :) and give me candy. and money. and....kisses.Josiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00226640652091292377noreply@blogger.com
