New England Post Match

Anyone near me in 126 at the end of the match when the ushers pulled a SWAT Team maneuver on one of those makeshift little suites? 6 punk ass kids who couldn't hold their liquor started shit
Didn't see that. Was wondering if you saw me knock the kid's hat off his head.

When I see him next game, I'm just going to smile. Even though I wish I hadn't done it, he seems like the kind of guy who doesn't deserve an apology. If his dad says something, I hope my wife is there to stop me from hitting an old man.

That was you?? Were you with your son? It was sometime around the 80th or so minute when it happened. The kid was just starting shit with people that walked up the aisle and said he was just trying to give high fives. He was a prick all game.

Nah- my incident was in added time. And I don't have a son. I was in the third row yelling at the ref to go to hell. This guy tries to stand up and be a big man telling me to shut up. So I just walked down and knocked his hat off his head.

This dudes such a douche. Get him some tickets in the Supporter Section as an I'm sorry gift ;)
 
Interested to hear which other backup LBs and sixth choice MCs from around the league would have done a better job than Sweat and Lopez last night, for the same price.

I don't know how realistic it is for every position on the pitch to have a peerless backup, given the money we're spending on more expensive guys who are contributing nothing. If Villa doesn't miss that half-open goal after Wallace got taken out in the area then chances are we aren't having this extended freakout about backup players right now.

Last night pissed me off, but forgive me, I still think we look pretty good.
Not sure on backup LBs, but I would take a look at our own roster for guys instead of Lopez such as Stertzer and Awuah (though haven't seen enough playing time from him to feel crazy confident about that yet).

Ok. You're at the bottom of the section that's right. I'm third row from the top. I'll be there on Saturday with two small children. Say a prayer for me.

Midas, you're entertaining (for the most part). But this story paints you as more of an instigator than a hero. You're entitled to be a fan any way you want, but your neighbors are entitled to speak up if they feel you're ruining the experience for them without being physically attacked. What the hell man.

As I said, I was confessing, not bragging. It was a dumb thing to do. I feel bad about doing it. I just didn't appreciate some guy trying to play hero. I don't think telling the ref he sucks or to go to hell is outside the bounds of normal fandom at Yankee Stadium. Or any stadium.

If he had a problem with what I was saying, he should not turn around from 2 rows away and shout at me.

Anyway, what I've had reinforced are my seats are shit. I'm going back to the 200s. There are too many bourgie bastards around to enjoy the game. They should wake up and smell the fact that you're not in a suite or Delta club. I'm going back to sitting with the unwashed.

You are cordially invited to join section 206, home of the chicken bucket. It doesn't get more low-brow and your tirades against the officials will not only be tolerated but welcomed and celebrated.

Come home Midas...
 
I am in 205, right next door. Good atmosphere. Good view. After the game, I turned to my friend, pointed at Penso, and said in a loud voice "I think that guy... is a fucking asshole."

I felt bad that there was a kid in front of me about my own son's age, but got no pushback.

Not sure what kids are doing at a weeknight game anyway.

You may have seen me... I'm the loudmouth in the Pirlo jersey sitting next the cute svelte brunette who shakes her head in shame and slinks in her seat...

I am under no illusion that my kids aren't going to learn new words when i take them to a game, but that sounds out of character for you, GG.

Midas speaks the truth, 200 level is where it's at. I don't see how those in the 100 level (3rd base side) can see anything by being so low and far away from the field.

Kids or no kids, by the end of that game, it doesn't change the truth that Penso was being a fucking asshole. There was one moment where one of the CB's went waaaaay over the back of Villa and Penso called Villa for the foul. That's nothing but spite.

It almost seems like the refs are purposely being shittier than usual in order to make everyone appreciate the video review,(brought to you by Advocare)

Seriously, I rarely ever swear over our players now that Saunders is gone. But refs get me going something awful. Always have.

I never received a sportsmanship award at any level of any sport. Did receive several 15-yard penalties, though. Undeserved, of course.

How do you get a 15yd penalty in baseball?

And gave him a yellow card for persistent infringement in the 90+2'. He counted three fouls and then showed the yellowed. That's a foul every 30 minutes. That's not persistent infringement. What a dick.
