Oh What a Night

*Two 45-50 yr old men throwing peanuts at fans.
*A douchebag who is so drunk he's lighting up cigarettes in the stands.
*Another douchebag who is stealing other people's free beach mats from their seats then denying it.
*People throwing peanuts, hotdogs, anything they can find at the opposing teams fans when they finally scored a run in the 9th inning! (Lost 6-1)
*A group of 8 that finally decided to show up in the 8th inning and then were yelling "whats going on? why is everyone clapping?"
It goes on and on and on....
These are just a few of the things that were happening last night at the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim game against the Tampa Bay Rays. L.A. Angels of Anaheim...awesome name! Just freakin pick a damn city. Either you want to be from Los Angeles or Anaheim, or you could have made it easy and just been the California Angels! Wow what a concept! That's another story for another day though...
If you've never been to an Angels game do yourself a favor and DON'T GO!! I love baseball more than most people and enjoy going to any game regardless of who is playing. But when you go to Angel Stadium in Anaheim, CA it's just wrong! They bring out the "rally monkey" in the 1st inning with none on and 2 outs. Very few people pay attention to the game. In fact more people last night were paying attention to the Laker/Celtics game 3 on the monitors in the concession area than to the baseball game being played in front of them. And I'm not even going to get into the incidents that I briefly described above...Bottom line is if you are a true baseball fan please don't ever go to Angel stadium for a game; unless they are playing the Cubs or Red Sox, then the stadium will be full with real baseball fans. And I thought Dodger stadium was bad!

Isn't is shocking that after Phil Jackson complains about officiating after game 2 that the Lakers get to shoot 14 free throws...in the 1st quarter!!! So you're telling me that for 2 games Boston was playing great defense and all of a sudden they foul every time down the court. This just solidifies my mild hatred of the NBA. I don't believe in conspiracy theories or that nonsense that some people talk about but you can't help but think somethin's up when there is desparity like that. I can remember on play in particular where Paul Pierce drove the lane and was fouled (not touchy touch foul, but a hard foul) by both Pau Gasol and Kobe Bryant and it dropped him to the floor...no call. Yet, Pierce was in foul trouble the entire game. I just don't see how there can be one set of rules for one game and a totally different set the next...Sure wasn't like that in the good 'ol days. Where's the NCAA Tournament when you need it?

On another note...I had In n Out Burger last night. I've changed my stance on the Southern CA fast food burger chain. Not too bad. I used to give it zero credit what-so-ever but after downing a double-double it was quite delicous...Also, I would like to congratulate Ken Griffey Jr. (aka "KGJ") for hitting his 600th homerun the other night. Quite an accomplishment for someone who has basically missed 2-3 full seasons with injuries. Not to mention he has done all of this without ever being remotely tied to any steroids or HGH investigation. Kudos to you Mr. Griffey. In the words of my good friend Shames I now "have 600 reasons to sleep with you." Finally, Michael Strahan retired from the NFL yesterday...maybe now he'll have time to find some good stop gap for his teeth! Do you think he's who Dr Dre was talking about in his '92 hit "Dre Day" in the line "Gap teeth in ya mouth so my di*k gots to fit!" Just a thought....
BYE!!!
