Seating Chart

Which section? Still trying to figure it out. I want left field. I want right next to the Oriole dugout. I want to sit in the bleachers or behind the plate.

8? 10? 12? 16? 17? 66? 68? 80? 82? 334?

I want sunshine but shade. I want close to the action, but cheap.

Thinking about thirteen tickets in the same spot makes me depressed.

Duck season! Rabbit Season! Duck season! Rabbit Season! Duck season! Rabbit Season! Duck season! Baseball Season!

Yesterday was Opening Day for baseball and the FishTank and I went to enjoy the festivities. I got good tickets in left field. Really good tickets because we were at the end of the row, so for all those beers consumed during the game, it was an easy escape to the bathroom. And those lines were long, like lady’s room long. But I digress.

It’s always good to skip out of work in the middle of the day. I would love to do it more. I left around 1 o’clock, so that we could get downtown and grab some lunch at Lexington Market. It seems lots of fans had that same idea as Faidley’s was packed with O’s boosters. Then we walked in the sun to the Yard, bought $4 beer outside the park, and ducked for cover as a shower came through right before opening ceremonies.

We watched our ace, Jeremy Guthrie, outduel CC Sabathea to a 6-1 lead. We watched as the damn Yankees cut that to a 1 run game. I think I drank too many beers, the FishTank also. Then we got an imperfect view of Izzy’s home run to put us in the lead. The ball was coming right at us, Johnny Damon looked to have a bead on it, but somehow, it made it over the fence. The crowd erupted! Everyone in orange and black was high-fivin’ each other. Great thing about the home opener: it was a see of orange and black. The Orioles fans showed up.

Rack up a win for the O’s. We’re in first place, baby! We’re number 1! We’re number 1! We’re number 1!
