Thoughts on a game

So I went to the Brewers game on Wednesday evening, and it was a great game, with the Brewers pulling through in the 8th to go up by one, and then Hoffman shutting it down. (How did he not make the All-Star team? What a joke.)

The enjoyable part of the game was that since it was a weekday game, everyone around you wasn't s**tty drunk and annoying. What a welcome change from usually going to games on Saturday and Sunday when people have been drinking for 6 hours before the game. We could sit there, relax, and actually watch the game; except for 2 exceptions.
  • The family in front of us kept standing for some reason to watch the game. I didn't get it. They weren't standing to cheer for a great hit or a catch, just randomly standing for a pitch or 12 to watch the game. Do they not realize that no one behind them can see when they stand? Did they think that there standing had any influence on the outcome of the game. It was rather annoying.
  • Next to us was a family as well, a dad with his sone and 2 daughters. His daughters were probably 12 or 13 (hold your jokes), and that was fine and well, until the 8th and 9th inning. This douche bag, my guess being 18, came by and tried to get everyone to start the wave, but to no avail. He later came back and went right to the 12-13 year old and tried talking her into starting the wave, all this with her dad right next to her. This guy then came back in the 9th and just got her number and gave her his number, again with the dad right there saying nothing. They then started texting each other about 5 seconds later. What is this dad doing? If I were him I would have slammed this douche bags head into the concrete ala American History X, no questions asked. I don't even no the nerve that this kid has doing this with a 13 year old right in front of her dad. Nothing good can come from this situation, unless an unwanted pregnancy and an STD is a good thing.
Speaking of baseball, here is the worst opening pitch in history; and I thought I threw like a girl.
