Katherine and I headed to Yankee Stadium tonight for the game. She was a Tampa fan amidst a sea of Yankees; I was just there to watch the game. My understanding is that the Durham Bulls (her hometown minor league team) funnel into the Rays so she knows a lot of the players.

The game was fun. Of all the sports, baseball is the only one that I really get. And I’ve always preferred watching it live to t.v.

But, I must say that the best part of this game was the behaivor of the fans. The Yankees did not play well so we got to listen to a lot of booing — not at the Rays but at the Yankees for sucking. When the Rays got a home run, with the bases loaded, this guy behind us kept yelling, “What the f*ck is going on? What the–” etc. He eventually got so fed up he started rooting for the Rays. “Show them f**king Yankees how it’s f**king done!”

Katherine and I laughed and laughed and laughed.

Oooo! Oooo! If you are willing to stay up late, you can watch the Merrie Monarch Festival. It’s the annual hula competition in Hawaii and goes all week. Rob just turned it on and I’ve abandoned my work to watch with him.
