Hotdogs
Okay Baseball Fans...
It was a VERY baseball week last week. Adam worked on an ever-changing DC Nationals spot for the home-opener last Thursday. He worked late, or early--whichever you prefer--all week. We were excited to go the game and even more excited to see the fruits of his labor. Well, since Georgie was in the house to throw out the first pitch, the security was higher than Boston's Logan... okay, let's just say higher than at an airport. I now blame Georgie for missing Adam's video and all of the first inning. Actually the fact that RFK pretty much sucks, the gates to enter are all in one spot, and the anti-DC baseball protesters were blocking our entrance didn't help us get in any faster. I digress... Oh yeah, the metro situation didn't help much either. The game was good, the Nats won, the hotdogs were pretty bad, and the beer was cold ($6). Did I mention our seats? They are the first row of the second level (slight overhang action), between homeplate and first. Not shabby. Looking straight ahead of me, I can see the back of George Will's head. I think he wears a wig. Well, maybe not--who'd pick one that bad?
Saturday's trip to Camden Yards started off sunny and we, as Yankee fans, were optimistic. The drive from our place to Baltimore clocked less than 40 minutes--not bad. The game was great, the Yankees had the lead for the better part of the game, and there seemed to be more Yankee fans than Orioles fans. Our seats were great (thanks Dad), the weather was not too hot or cold, and the beer was cold ($5.75). The hotdogs were slightly better. I can't compare CY to RFK, there isn't any comparison. If you've never been to CY, I highly recommend it. Baltimore's Inner Harbor isn't bad either.
I can't report on Sunday's Nationals game, since I opted out to prepare for my first day of work at the new job (I'll report on that later.) All I can say is the Nats won and Adam had three beers. He says the sausage sucked at both stadiums.
Have to go, 24 is on.
