Brooke and I went to a Cardinals game last night via the MetroLink (the above-ground “subway system” in St. Louis) since it’s way easier to right that into the downtown area rather than driving and parking down there… Brooke’s parents had 2 extra tickets to this game and decided to take us along (thanks!!). Anyway, we’re riding the thing and this lady gets on…maybe in her 40s, thin, brunette…and we’re in a huge crowd of people, most of which are heading to the game… Well, this random lady leans across 3 other people and says “you’re a very pretty girl.” Brooke, of course, replies, “thank you!”
So yeah, my wife was hit on by an older woman in a train car full of Cardinals fan…guess I should be flattered… 😛
The game itself was pretty good…hadn’t been to a game there since 1998 (maybe 2000…can’t remember), so it was good to go to “one of the last games at Busch Stadium” (even though this stadium is less than 40 years old and the new stadium will also be known as Busch Stadium…). The game went pretty well for the Cards throughout, since the Reds kept dropping the ball all over the place…literally… We left in the 8th inning after Pujols belted a grand slam out at the end of the 7th, so that was cool to see… That, and at the beginning of the game, they paraded around the 1985 Cardinals team in brand-new convertible Mustangs (w00t!)…so I got to see Ozzie Smith… They also had Mark McGuire stop by for another special appearance…
Regardless, it was a good time. I kinda wish I was more in to baseball as I used to be…not that I was ever really in to it, but I kinda kept track back when I collected baseball cards… Of course, I’m sure I would have been a bigger fan if my team, the Royals, ever WON A FRIGGIN’ GAME!!! 😛
That is all.
An above ground subway system is also known as “light rail”.
Didn’t you ever play sim city? 😀
