Baseball is stupid

As mentioned in a previous post, Mr. Man and myself attended a Detroit Tiger’s Baseball game on Sunday.

I’ve determined that baseball is stupid.  Here are my reasons:

1.  We paid $30 each for a ticket and I didn’t even watch a second of the game.  The big dude in front of me impared my vision and secondly, it’s stupid to pay $30 for a ticket when you don’t understand the game or know any of the players.  We really went for the atmosphere and the company…  That was good but…

2.  It was friggin hot.  I got sunburned a little bit, which turned out to be good because my white ass finally has a little color this summer.

3.  My friends go to the games to drink and eat ball-park food, neither of which I can do very well.  I don’t drink alcohol at all and ball park food just makes me sick.  I do like to entertain myself by watching them drink and eat though.  Here’s some pictures of me pretending that beer is cool/bad for you.  Thanks to Mr. Man for letting me hold his beer so I could pretend that I was just like everyone else there. 

4.  Bathrooms at ball parks are gross.  Nuff Said.

5.  People at Baseball games are generally assholes.  I realize that makes me and my friends assholes as well, and in some ways I’m sure we are…  But the sport of people watching is just awesome.  This is me, approving of Mr. Douchebag that sat in front of us with his collar popped up.  He CLAIMED it was so that his neck wouldn’t get sunburned.  Um, sure.

However………….  There are some good things about the ball park as well.  For example, the mascots just make me smile…  I love all the entertainment.  I love the smell of roasting nuts.  I enjoy watching dad’s carry around Dora backpacks while drinking beer and chasing around their kids…  I love the little (brainwashed) kids running around in the team colors (Orange Crocks were on the feet of every child (and overweight woman) on Sunday).  I actually like that they can charge $4.50 for a cup of soda and $5 for a hot-dog and get away with it.  It’s the ball-park.  You have to expect that kind of stuff.
