Interleague Play
These interleague games are great for baseball. I got to see the New York Mets live at the Dome for the first time in my life the other night. Better yet, I got to see the Mets get crushed and humiliated by the Twins for the first time. And again, for the second time in a week, those pinstriped powerhouses destroyed their dark horse challenger in the very bottom of the ninth. Two great games.

Near the end of Tuesday’s game our party was joined by a youngster who had more energy than Iggy Pop on 10 cups of coffee. The boy had to run up and down the aisle steps just to get a base level of wobbly comfort. He did however provide the line of the month. From high up in our upper deck seats behind home plate the boy was watching the game through a monocular. When the action really began heating up in the ninth inning the boy was eagerly asked, “Isn’t this exciting?!?” To which he replied in a very droll and unconcerned manner, “I’m just staring at the grass.” Classic! If you know Ralph from the Simpsons, then you can understand even better how absolutely hilarious this little sapphire of wisdom was.
