You're not even following the game. You don't deserve the ball. It's not like you're a man servant, and your master sent you out for sheyboygans or anything.

Hamels started toward the dugout after what he thought was a strike. Lincecum didn't get the call & buzzed ump Dana DeMuth w. a fastball that slammed off the backstop & then froze Hamels w. another 3rd strike. 4/28/10 Timmy the ump killer.

To be fair, I probably wouldn't be waiting in the BBQ ribs line, or wherever that guy was.

I wonder what the food is like at Safeco Field. I should ask people at work for recommendations. And Merkin, I fully expect a "Rate the Sausage Seattle Special Edition".
