Opening night at the ballgame

04/06/2010

HI fellow bloopers!   Last night was really fun. We sat in the right field bleachers. We had a few annoying Yankee  fans around us especially this one, who sat right behind me who was transplanted from alabama. So he had that southern accent and would say "yes sir" a lot. like... "yes sir, the yankees are gonna win" and there was this  cute feisty lady sitting next to me. She would turn around and give it right back to the yankee fans. The guy was saying things like "want a nipple for that beer?" "dont get your panties in a knot" and "you know what a dolphin says? dont cha?" Not to mention, he was bitching about the fact that they do not bring beers around to the chairs. they do it in new york though.    RnB top flavor of the month, Kari Hilson sang the National Anthum which was preceeded by jetfighter and postceeded proceeded by fireworks. In the 7th inning, Stephen Tylor did sing "god bless america" and did a pretty bad job. It sounded like he was either drunk, tired or didnt know the words. I still felt honored that he sang it. Since 2003, in the mid of the 8th inning, "sweet caroline" is played over the PA system and everyone sings along. Well, last night, Mr. Neel Diamond was there and sang. It was so cool. He wore a jacket that across the back read "keepthe the Dodgers in Brooklin" I thought that a bit strange.    The Yankees were up 5-1 after 5 innings but the Red Sox chipped away and pulling out the win 9-7. Jeff was fun to go with, givine great play-by-play. But as only he can do, he was a jerk, constantly saying "want a hotdog?" "sausage?" "pretsle" "You know you want one" "I wont tell god." He can be a jerk.   I have got so many people asking who this "katie casey" woman was in my last poem. Katie Casey is the main character in one of the most famous songs. Everyone knows the corris but very few know the rest of the words.  Katie Casey was baseball mad, Had the fever and had it bad. Just to root for the home town crew, Ev'ry sou Katie blew. On a Saturday her young beau Called to see if she'd like to go To see a show, but Miss Kate said "No, I'll tell you what you can do:" Take me out to the ball game, Take me out with the crowd; Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack, I don't care if I never get back. Let me root, root, root for the home team, If they don't win, it's a shame. For it's one, two, three strikes, you're out, At the old ball game. Katie Casey saw all the games, Knew the players by their first names. Told the umpire he was wrong, All along, Good and strong. When the score was just two to two, Katie Casey knew what to do, Just to cheer up the boys she knew, She made the gang sing this song:   Take me out to the ball game, Take me out with the crowd; Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack, I don't care if I never get back. Let me root, root, root for the home team, If they don't win, it's a shame. For it's one, two, three strikes, you're out, At the old ball game.
