Just Let Green Pitch the 9th

I know it applies to pretty much everyone

but if Green could improve his command just 5-10%, he'd be unbelievable.

Funny story

Jeff and I are from San Diego where idiots do the wave during no hit bids and amazingly entertaining games.

So we have to deal with this crap all the time at Petco. But at OPENING DAY in Minnesota on Monday, this asshole kid in our section kept on trying to get the GA outfield seats to do the wave and was YELLING at people who wouldn't do it. I kept on yelling right back at him, "THE WAVE SUCKS BALLS." And "GO HOME WAVE BOY." Well eventually he pissed off the ushers and they sat next to him. They were talking to him for a while and eventually this kid (we guessed 18-19) starts BAWLING. We can't help but laugh at this man-cunt. So he's absolutely retarded-sobbing and we can't feel bad for his stupid actions.

As he is being ushered out, with tears still on his face ( we surmised they checked his ID, discovered he was under-age and drunk and booted him for that reason) he's yelling at our section with venom "THANKS FOR REPORTING ME GUYS, THANKS! I'M A REAL TWINS FAN :points at his giveaway Twins hat:" I promptly yelled back at him. "Real fans don't do the wave!!"

My section cheered, and I was in a Mets Beltran jersey and Mets hat. They were willing to cheer me even though we had stolen Santana from them. (I don't usually do the jersey thing when my team isn't playing but it was the national holiday of opening day.

I hate MN sports fans. They make Southern California fans seem bearable, mostly because SC doesn't have many teams that are dominant.

I pantsed a guy trying to do the wave once.

During the 9th inning of a 1 run game. He was removed from the stadium for indecent exposure. One of my better moments.

I remember last year with Sean Green and Sean White..Didn't know which one sucked early on, so I just got anxious when a "Sean" came in.

If the wave never existed before, and you tried to invent it, people would beat the shit out of you

it's the perfect example of something that people do simply because they've been doing it forever.

This guy reminds me of Willie Randolph

Up 13 runs he had Pedro Feliciano and Billy Wagner pitch the 8th and 9th respectively.

Jeff

The worst part is we know that them being in is meaningless and while we have an off-day tomorrow, I can see Willie not letting Billy pitch all three games of the Braves series because he can't pitch 4 times in 5 days.

He slays me, that Widiot.

Squinty didn't want to pitch to Hamilton, so he went ahead and kept Green in to pitch around him, THEN got Beluga Tits.

For some reaon

I like Batista. I know he's not that good and he makes a fair amount of mistakes and can't possibly be dominant but I just like watching him pitch. I can't really explain it because nothing he does is very exciting and usually he is just barely making it. Its weird, I know.
