We-Need-Pitch-ing
The Tigers were making their last ever trip to Yankee Stadium this week. What a perfect reason to make my first (and only) trip to Yankee Stadium before they move to a new stadium across the street next season!
I went down there last night, expecting to see two great baseball teams. Despite the Tigers horrid start, they were starting to play really well.
Thankfully, the Tigers were able to emerge victorious despite allowing the first three Yankees batters to score in the first inning. It sure made the cold steady rain more bearable!
The best part was when Cabrera hit a home run to put the Tigers up 8-4 in the 7th inning. The Yankees fans who did not run for the exits when it started raining turned on their team. Cheers against their team came from all directions around me. This one drunk girl tried to start a 'We-Need-Pitch-Ing' chant, which seemed harmless at first. She the went into a tirade through the rest of the Tigers half of the 7th inning (and probably the rest of the game) about how the Yankees were the suckiest bunch of sucks every to suck. I felt bad for the guy who was there with her. He seemed so annoyed. If the Yankees had not won anything for 20+ years, they would be no different from Philadelphia sports fans! However, her rant registered a zero on my sympathy scale. I hate the Yankees, and I hated them before I met DrT! :)
My only regret was that I didn't move down to the lower deck and grab better seats since the stadium was at best 30% full. I went down there to watch a couple batters prior to leaving (didn't want to miss the 10:30 train and wait another hour to leave NYC, so I left during the 7th inning stretch), and the view/atmosphere was amazing.
