The other thing that annoyed me was during the seventh-inning stretch. With the 4th of July coming up, we all sang 'God Bless America'. Now, the announcer asked everybody to stand up, but I didn't. See, you are not supposed to stand for any song but the national anthem. So, this group of college kids behind me (who were probably drunk) started yelling at me. My explanation of the proper honorifics meant nothing to them. The drunk guys made up for it, however, when they later asked me if I wrote for the New York Times, Washington Post, or Columbus Dispatch. They seemed more impressed when I said Blogcritics Magazine.
The Great Race
Today's great race was actually a competition. Mustard and Relish both sprinted out of the right-field wall, and Ketchup was only a few steps behind. At about first base, Relish added some juice to his engine, and took off. Mustard, desperate to stop him, attempted a tackle – it failed. For the first time ever, Relish won the race fair and square. This brings his record to 4, while Ketchup has 1 and Mustard still has none.

Saw the box score. Toledo third baseman Mike Hessman, who's in a terrible funk this year, pitched the scoreless ninth inning, which amuses me. Maybe that's how he'll finally get called up.
