magically delicious

Went to the angels game last night. Started off with one of the giant hot dogs from the place behind center field.... huge. Then enjoyed a fantastic game, topped off with us winning by a walk-off hit by the rookie, 7-6 over the Yankees. Lead changed places a few times, so it was a really good game. It's always fun to go to a game, but more so when it includes a little baseball magic. What is baseball magic? It's when you're team is down by 3, in the bottom of the ninth. your team gets 3 men on base to load them up, but also gets 2 outs. Then, your biggest hitter steps up, and proceeds to get into a full count. Then, he fouls off about 4 or 5 balls to add to the tension, before belting it out of the park. Things like that are baseball magic. Last night, Ryan Budde (pronounced like buddy) hit a double right in between Melky Cabrera and Bobby Abreu, which knocked in a run... the place went nuts. That's baseball magic. It's also somewhat magical to see a girl get arrested right behind us, and while she was being forcefully escorted away by a couple police officers, she decided it would be a good idea to attempt to kick one of them in the hoo-haw place. Great idea.... especially if you really like the taste of concrete immediately afterwards. What an idiot. Good part was that she was a Yankees fan, so that entertained a lot of the crowd.
Good times.
