Stupidifying

Overheard:

"Ha, the Giants pitcher looks like he's 10! This should be fun."

"Hmm, he throws pretty hard for a kid that size."

"98 miles per hour? Are you kidding me?"

"That changeup's unfair."

"Wow, he just made Guzman / Dukes / Boone / Casto / Langerhans / Redding / Pena look stupid."

"Who is this guy?"

I would love to be in every visiting ballpark when Timmy pitches. But the quiet joy of listening to uneducated Nats fans last night will do just fine.

I do have to admit some ignorance of Giants personnel myself, however: I bet my buddy Jonathan that Jose Castillo would pop out to end the Giants half of the deciding third. Instead, he puts one in the seats to put the dagger in the heart of the Nats, sealing a 10-1 triumph early.

That's a $12 Kosher dog I'll gladly buy.

As you can see, we had fantastic seats above the Giants dugout. It's amazing what you can procure when the two participating teams are a combined 21 games under .500 in early June.

Unfortunately, I forgot my camera, leading to the subpar, unzoomed camera phone-generated shot above. On the plus side, I have three more shots at it, albeit from lesser seats.

That's the price of reading an idiot's blog.
