Rugby, White Sox and Life with Janet

i just knew that the sox were going to win yesterday no matter what! it was my first game this season, and i was set on seeing a great game! my blood was boiling with all of those yankee fans walking around with their stupid brooms as if we were going to get swept. yea, i’m not gonna lie i wanted to beat some people over the head with their cleaning supplies, but i held back. so my first game of the season was a winner, and boy was it sweet.

there were a lot of yankee fans at the game last night per usual, which is fine but really i didn’t understand why there were cub fans decked out in yankee apparel. actually according to another fan in our area decked out in fake k-mart yankee apparel. it rained a lot. i purchased a poncho. beefie bought a shirt to represent the chi-rish at the custom t-shirt shop. and i found a new stand called Comiskey Dogs that sells a real Chicago Hot Dog! it costs $5 and they do a very good job although one of the cashiers has a lazy eye and you aren’t sure when she is taking your order or the guy next to you. i got to see Bobby Jenks. i even got to see my Matt Thornton. i saw fireworks. when all was said and done it was a great day at the ballpark.

the game itself was fairly exciting too. i occasionally like the come from behind wins…although only when the White Sox win. =P i had a feeling that Gavin Floyd wasn’t going to have a spectacular game due to the conditions. but i was happy to see him come out after the rain delay. that says something about a pitcher. i think he wanted to show everyone that the picther he was in the 1st 3 innings was not a good representation of him over all. either way he did let some runs cross the plate, but he did a satisfactory job given the weather and field conditions. you also gotta give credit to the offense for getting to Ohlendorf. also very exciting was getting to joba chamberlain. joba is so dominating and i don’t think anyone wants to face him. it’s nice to win the way we did.
