Stuff from Saturday's game

I went to the game on Saturday night.

  • I tried to buy a Park Pass at the ticket office but they were sold out.  I was told I could buy a ticket for $7.50, which was half priced, but  they would make me vote Adrian Gonzalez into the All Star game the entire time.  I told ticket guy I would take the ticket and I'd like to see them try and make me vote for Adrian.  I'm not going to vote for a guy who has said that he himself would vote for Pujols.  Plus he's going to make the team anyway, he's just not going to be a starter.
  • I was stopped at the front gate and asked to empty my pockets.  Wallet, keys and tickets was all they found, I must fit the profile of someone trying to sneak contraband into the ballpark.
  • Got my Adrian Gonzalez Action Figurine.  Is it really an "action" figurine if it has no Points of Articulation?  I say no.  How can there be action with no moving pieces?  A bobble head has more action than this sculpture of Adrian with elephantiasis.
  • As I walked to my seat I saw there was a big line of people with hundreds of ballots in their hands.  I asked them what was going on.  Apparently for every 50 ballots you filled out voting for Adrian, you received a Padres giveaway prize.  Okay, they win, I filled out 50 ballots and got a Padres pillow case.
  • Saw Gaslamp Baller C8lin win something up on the Jumbo Tron.  Jealously threw peanuts at the screen and booed.
  • These girls in front of us went crazy every time Giles came up to the plate, they were cracking us up with their dancing.  I got the tail end of the dance:

 

  • Left the game early with two Padres on base while we were losing 2-1.  The instant I stepped foot outside the ballpark, the crowd erupted into applause as the Padres scored 6 runs.
  • On the drive home I saw this heavy biker dude riding a crotch rocket on the freeway and he was text messaging.

DODGERS, RED SOX, YANKEES, BRONCOS, PATRIOTS and RAIDERS all suck. Especially the Dodgers.

The Vote Adrian line

They had that going the last two games I went to, but there was a line of like four people and I can’t be waiting in lines and sh_t.

Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? ◔ヮ◔
