I Was Right The First Time...

Okay, so if you read the blog yesterday or the day before , you'll see I've had varing opinions about Yankee fans.

Well, after the Braves defeat at the hands of the Yankees tonight, I've decided that Yankee fans are gracious lossers and annoying winners. Loud loud yells, lots of chants. It sounded like freaking Yankee Stadium tonight. Very bad.

The walk up was still low, but I did get a pretty cool assignment. I've been talking about bidding for batting practice the last couple of days. Today, I was the doorman to the field. There was some concern that people would try and reuse their batting practice wristbands from the day before. Well, low and behold we did have some punk try it and I ran him off. Don't try any of that low class stuff with me. I'll get you everytime. I was extremely close to the Yankees and Braves tonight. Gag me with the Yankees though.

Oh, by the way, batting practice will be available to the public past the Yankees and Red Sox series at a set price of $50. That rocks. 50 clams gets ON the field, stationary right behind the players to get all the pictures you want during both batting practices. Neat.

Back to the walk up real fast. Yesterday's was the second LOWEST of the season. In case you don't know what the term "walk up" refers to, it's anyone who arrives at the ballpark for the game without a ticket and purchases their tickets just before entering. Walking up as opposed to getting it in advance at the box office or through the Internet. Second lowest this season. That's really bad. We've had games with rain, potential rain, extreme heat, week day games at night, week day games during the day, and we are in the same division as the Florida Marlins and Washington Nationals. So, that really says something about people's collective thought about ticket availability. It's shocking. I mean, all of the parking IS sold out, but the seats are not. Interesting to day the least.

So, Bobby Cox wasn't ejected tonight, but Yankees skipper Joe Girardi was. But don't be discouraged. Cox is still awesome in the " You Are Outta Here " department.

On a total side note, watch Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along-Blog. Joss Whedon at his "grrr-arrgh-y-est". ( What the hell is he talking about? )

Don't settle for it just once. Go out and buy it and watch all the extra features, including "Commentary, The Muscial!" Wow, now that's a bit of all right.
