Writer's Block: You're a Winner!
[Error: unknown template qotd]
Last year when we saw the Rays play Oakland, they gave us bingo cards (as they do at all home games). The grid has different things that happen in a baseball game, like a pitcher striking someone out, stealing a base, etc, and when each one happens in the game, you mark it off. If you get bingo, you bring it to a little table and some guy checks it out, and gives you a goodiebag. I actually won- first time in my life that I've ever won something like that- and they gave me a t-shirt (that I'm wearing now, actually), two keychains with... tiger heads? And the tigers are wearing safari hats? I think they're from Exxon? A pin for the Moffit cancer place (um... thanks), a refrigerator magnet with the season schedule (useful), and a squishy miniature baseball stressball thing with their logo on it. I think I'm forgetting something. Anyway, it was cool. We had to ask some people where to go, and on our way back everyone was all CONGRATULATIONS :D, the people at Tropicana Field are so nice.
We're seeing them play the Phillies (urg) in two weeks, I hope I win again. And I hope the Rays win, I've never seen them win. I saw them years and years ago playing the Mets and they lost (then again, we weren't rooting for them), and then both times last year they lost. Also, I hope the other fans aren't too obnoxious, they were terrible during the World Series and last year when I saw them play the Yankees those fans were obnoxious (also drunk) so I hope I don't have to deal with that again.
