Confessions of a Frisky Fish

WHAT A DAY!
Well, it did rain. And because of the rain, we couldn't stay till the end of the second game, but we did see the first one and it was great! (aside from the scary guy who was trying to pick us up. We're sitting there, staring at the boys on our team...Michigan's got some hot baseball players, let me tell you!...and this guy sits down next to Karen and starts talking to her and he would not leave us alone!

Here's a little hint...Do not try to pick me up while I'm watching sports. did it work for the boys in Canada when I was watching the Pistons game at the Casino? NO! Did it work for the boy at Tiki Bob's when the Wings were on? No. Did it work for creepy Jesse when we were at the Treehouse and golf highlights were on? NO! (although, it could have worked for others in the hotel room when we watched sportscenter...) But in general, you will not get my attention, you will only make me mad! Yes, I'm a girl but that doesn't mean I don't want to know what's going on! And PLEASE don't try to talk sports with me if you don't know what the hell you are talking about!! It's so annoying to have people think I'm an idiot and don't know anything because I'm a girl when really, you're the idiot because you don't know what the hell you're talking about (especially about hockey or football...) Ok, enough of that.

Anyway, We're trying so hard to get him to go away, and finally he leaves. Oh it was bad! But we survived that escapade. The game ended and Michigan won, 5-1. We left between the games to get some food (Mr. Greeks) and then I stopped in the old store to say hi. Oh how I miss it right now! Then we went back to the game (scared we missed it but it was only the second inning) But we get back and we go into the stands, only to see the scary stalker guy so Karen is like "we have to go. NOW!" so we leave the stands and stand by the fence for a while...(bad position. VERY bad place to be standing) but then we decide, you know what? We just won't talk to him. So we go back to the stands, hoping he's not looking at us and sit to watch the rest of the game. That's when we notice fan club #2 and fan club #3. One on the left side and one on the right. Now, we could be totally wrong. They could have been looking at something else and not us, but I'm pretty sure it was us. There was nothing else around us to look at. Anyway, we had to some fun with that, although at times we didn't know where to look. Then, to make me happy (not really but a girl can dream) they put in a LEFT-HANDED PITCHER! I was so excited. And he did great too. I think all left handed pitchers are great. Not all of them are really hot, but they're all great. But, despite having to leave early because bad weather was threatening and I had to listen to mum for a change, we definitely enjoyed the game. And I'm so glad we went. Only regrets? Not talking to fan clubs. But that couldn't be helped because due to threatening weather and an hour drive, we couldn't stay. It wasn't safe.

Driving home in the rain was an adventure. Especially when the lightning practically hit the car. that was really scary. But we survived and Karen is the BEST for coming with me because I never would have gone alone. And it was so much fun, definitely worth it. But it was the last one till next year, so that's pretty sad. But you know I'll be there next year. I've become a serious fan. (who knew? I'm hooked!)

Some memorable quotes:

"See? His hands would fit perfectly with mine!" ~Karen commenting on her boyfriend

"I'm very observant. I noticed the things on his arms."~Karen, again commenting on her boyfriend because she recognized his hands from the dugout.

"You can sit here" ~fan club #1 when we were trying to find a place out of the rain. (we would have just gotten wet but we were both in white shirts...)

"Where's his girlfriend?"
"Karen, I think that's his mom."
"But where's his girlfriend?"
"Maybe she isn't supportive of his baseball talent."
"Ooo, I'll be supportive!"
~discussing her boyfriend in between at-bats.

"They're not staring at me. they're not staring at you! They're staring at your boobs!"
"But you can't see them unless I lean forward! Maybe they're staring at your boobs. You're the one in the special cleavage bra."
"No, you can't see them unless you look down. I like to look down at my cleavage. It makes me proud."
~discussing why the two fan clubs (#2, #3) kept staring at us.

"Ooo, that one is married! Oh wait, that's the manager, nevermind."~Karen checking out the hands peeking over the dugout.

"Foul ball. Go run and get it kids! Wow, if I miraculously had kids, that would be a great way to get rid of them."~ Me watching some kids chase after a foul ball while we were trying to be unseen by the scary stalker guy.

"My arm is numb."~ Karen after I was squeezing her arm really hard because Clayton Richard came back...with hockey boys in tow. But no, not the ones we wanted to see.

"What's that thing they have on the bat?"
"I don't know. Maybe it's so they know where to hit the ball."
~trying to figure out why the boys practicing before batting had the rubber thing on their bats. Thanks to Walter's profound baseball knowledge, we know what it is and why it's there.

"Ok, so I know there's two foul balls that equal strikes. But I don't think you can strike out on foul balls. But can you just keep going?"
"I think there's like a seven foul ball limit."
~trying to figure out baseball without the help of a baseball player. Again, thanks to Walter, we know the answer.

"That would be a cool slip and slide. Look at all the water!"
~The boys were taking the tarp off the field after the heavy downpour.

"Don't be stupid! Just because you want to go to a stupid baseball game. You're too far away from home with this bad weather."
~My mum yelling at me as we're driving to the game.

"Maybe that's the reason why he hasn't called."~ Me and Karen watching two boys be buddy buddy, yet again.

"What would they do if you said, Excuse me, could you sign my thong?"~ Me commenting after a mob of kids ran to the dugout to get autographs.

"Are they pouring beer onto their grill?"
"That's why they call it beer-battered."
~Walking down State Street and watching two frat boys grill on their porch.

that's all for now! I think this day lived up to all it's built up excitement. Oh, except we couldn't find Mike's number and Tim's number so we couldn't call them. That was kind of a bummer, but we're still working on that.
