My record for the Yankees games I've attended is now 5 and 1. I had a good time last night. Even though my seats are up high, I sit in a good section with other people on the Friday night plan. So, the same people are there every week and they are nice and friendly and witty. There's one guy that sits behind me who yells too much. Sometimes when he yells stuff he is wrong. That is funny too.
Before the game, I got a bleacher's creatures t-shirt and I went over to talk to Bald Vinny and I told him that I was his "fan" on facebook. He asked me what my name is and when I told him my last name, he asked me if I like to eat toast. No one has said that since like the 6th grade. Then when I told him my friends don't want to get seats in the bleachers, because there are no seatbacks, he said I should get better friends. Maybe so....
Anyway, I feel bad for Luis Castillo. I think A-Rod still can't come through in the clutch. However, I still will defend him against rude Red Sox fans. Who applauds and cheers when a player gets hit by a pitch? Thursday night in Boston they all cheered when A-Rod got hit. That was so ignorant and classless.
After the game, I took the new Metro North train that leaves right from Yankee Stadium. It was a little weird not taking the number 4 subway to 125th Street. When you took the train from 125th, there would never be enough empty seats for all of the fans and sometimes I would have to stand until the train got to Stamford which is like 40 minutes. Now the train is only people coming from the game and there are actually too many empty seats. Nice..
