People Who Suck

Last night, I went to the game. It was student night and you know what that means...10,000 drunk college kids texting, waving and standing up on the stairwells doing their level best to block my view of home plate.

I decided to sit in the reserved section. If you do it right, you can sit close enough to where people actually have purchased tickets and still be in seats that no one will want to sit in. Throughout the game more and more college kids moved into these seats. The extremely drunk kid in front of me was drinking "Sunkist" which I'm sure was lots of vodka with a small amount of the orange drink and waving around a joint. Good times.

In the seventh inning, the ushers decided that they needed to move all these people out of the reserved seats and back to the outfield. The hell? So this blue shirted usher came into the stands and started threatening to toss anyone who didn't have a reserved ticket if they didn't move back to the outfield. He came up to me and asked if I had a ticket. I told him I didn't know and could he please just go away, I'm trying to score the game. He went away. Why harass a single person who was actively paying attention to the game when there are hundreds of other non-baseball watching students around her? And why would they suddenly decide to do this in the seventh inning? Ushers suck.

Also, the bottom of the third inning was the longest inning ever. I had to pee. Really, really bad. The Orioles pitchers couldn't find the strike zone to save their lives. Typical.
