Argh. It was freezin'. It was exciting for a couple of innings. Lilly pitched like I remembered him pitching last year. Lousy. I took some pictures with my digital camera. When I get a chance I'll post them. In the section where we were sitting, we were perhaps the only Yankee fans. It seems that Ichiro Suzuki should be making a heck of a lot more money. He alone was the reason why at least a 2,000 seats were sold. I was in the section between 1st base and the foul pole. Practically every seat was filled by a Japanese person. Entire extended families showed up. They were cheering for everything Ichiro did. I think he was 3-4 or 4-5 in hitting. Being the right fielder, he was right below us, so I guess that explains why his cheering section formed there. They were going nuts! They were really into the game. We noticed after a while that the beer man didn't bother to venture very far from our seats... It was not a good night for business for him so we tried our best to make up for it. At $6.25 a beer, there was only so much we could afford to help his cause. $4.50 for a hot dog. The hot dog man took in some good cash. He was smart. A marketing genius wearing baggy pants and fancy Adidas sneakers. He was constantly selling out. His idea: "Hot dogs here! Get your official Yankee hot dog served on a nice soft ICHI- ROLL!!!" The Japanese were buying them like crazy. <g> <ng> It got rather cold towards the later innings. More so as the Mariners added a few extra runs. We'll get 'em back today... I think David Wells is on the hill. -StankeeFan
