Phillies opening day

2005 Phillies opening day

Ah, the soulless office park seemed a million miles away. Welcome back, Phillies! I’m still pissed about Doug Glanville, but Citizen’s Bank Park sells veggie burgers now, so the universe is back in balance. Thanks to Blankbaby Scott for the exta ticket!

UPDATE: Overall, I’d rather be a bad dancer than have a nasally voice. See the Blankbaby perspective on the home opener.

    From the looks of your seats, the field also seems a million miles away…

    Actually, Clair, I enjoyed this new perspective. Your seats may be in the 100 level, but you have to turn around to see the Phanavision, so what’s the point?

    Though you do get a nice view of Pat Burrell’s butt, especially during the Star Spangled Banner.

    By the way, I came down to visit you at yesterday’s game, but usher dudes have a new rule this year about not walking up and down the aisles while someone’s at bat. Pfffft.

    a) The action’s on the field, not on the Phanavision.

    2) You should be looking at the Flag during the anthem, not Burrell’s butt.

    C) I wasn’t in my usual seats anyway.

    I was disappointed that the Leap Frogs didn’t jump in. It is pretty cool (they did it last year in the wind AND rain!).

    Glanville should open up a veggie stand to compete with Bull’s Bar-B-Q.

    Mmmm…Glanville plus faux cheesesteak. Would it get any better?

    Clair:

    iii) There is too action on Phanavision. What about the Turkey Hill ice cream game and the Phanatic dance that take place between innings?

    a) It’s not my fault that Pat Burrell has an unpatriotically nice butt.

    A) Good thing you weren’t in your regular seat. I was coming to hit you up for a beer loan because I forgot my wallet.

    I go 3 for 3 with 2 RBIs, and all you’re talking about is my butt? How do you think that makes me feel?

    I think I actually saw Doug Glanville yesterday…he was selling soft pretzels out of a shopping cart on Pattison Ave.

    Doug Glanville and Von Hayes should go into business together.

    I have no idea who all these people you are talking about are, but you’re welcome (re: the extra ticket).

    And I could have given you a beer loan, though after insulting me as often as you did it would have taken some sweet talking.

    You are better off not giving her any beer. After a couple she wouldn’t be insulting you but rather challenging you to arm wrestle.

  11. Gravatar Icon 11 Scott

    And I imagine the insults would be flying whilst we arm wrestled.

    At least I got ice cream… mmm.

    Clair, when was the last time I got drunk and threatened to kick your ass? I’ve been outta the drunk arm wrestling phase for a while–that was so 20th century.

    Scott, since you already had to pay for my ticket, I didn’t want to hit you up for beer money.

    Ahh, well that makes sense. All is right in the world again.

    For the record, I don’t think I have a nasally voice, I think I have a beautiful man voice.
