Brewers vs. Twins in Minnesota 2009

I've been to the Metrodome quite a number of times, and so far there has been nothing that I've seen that elevates it from dump status in my book. We always sit in the same spot, so I thought that might have something to do with it, so before the game I walked around and checked it out from other perspectives. The result? Yep, this place is still a dump. At least I know that it's not my seat.

To many Wisconsin teams (including the Brewers, Packers and Badgers) the Metrodome is a house of horrors, and once again the Brewers failed mightily here. They got swept in the 3 game series and once again failed to put on a good showing for the National audience that tuned into ESPN Sunday Night Baseball. For that and a million other reasons, I turn and give the Dome one last "F U" with double middle fingers. But all is well now that I know I'll never set foot in that hell hole ever again. But since the game was over, it was time for me to go back home. Tomorrow was Memorial Day, and I had to be at Miller Park by 11:00am. I wish that I didn't have to work, because now I would have to drive through the night just to get home in time to sleep for a few hours before work. So I said my last goodbyes to the Bates/Williams clan, and delayed my return trip as long as I could before heading out on the road and back to my boring life in Milwaukee without the Bates'.

Mike and Katie left Reese at "home" in the care of her parents and her sister Karen. It was a good thing too, because at her young and impressionable age, seeing back to back losses by her future favorite team would just about broken her spirits. Let her age a bit before she witnesses the famed "2nd half collapse" by the Brewers with her own eyes. She's not old enough for "next year" yet.

At every weekend game, there always has to be some drunken asshole who runs out on the field, eludes security for a moment, delays the game and gets arrested and taken away. When will these people learn. What are you trying to accomplish? At least go streaking on the field and run out nude. Then we'll see how many of those security guards want to jump on top of you then. Now that would be worth stopping the game for. Because only dudes do that kind of thing, and that would be the only time that I would be thankful that I was sitting up in the cheap seats so I don't have to watch his naked ass up close and personal. Not too many people (including women) need or want to see that.
