What a day (aka, Kamagaya strikes back)
You know... on Friday, if you asked me what I was going to do Sunday, I woulda told you, "I'm going to the Giants-Dragons game and then playing volleyball in the evening."
That is completely totally what did NOT happen today.
See, my friend who was getting tickets to the game was getting them from a Giants player, and said Giants player wasn't sure he could come through with them, and had a bad day on Saturday, so it looked super-unlikely. I made plans with my Fighters fan friends to see the Fighters split-squad game in Kamagaya today instead.
At like 10:30am as I was IN A TAXI TO FIGHTERS TOWN KAMAGAYA I get email saying "hey he finally came through with tickets, can you still go?" and I'm like "Hahahaha no."
Anyway, the game was crazy wacky fun. I talked to Brian Sweeney for a while before the game, and then -- I swear -- Ryan Glynn saw me, I said hi, he said "hey, what's up? I read your interview with Seguignol on your blog," and I'm like WTF. Seriously! Wow, that was nuts.
Dude.
I sat up front with my other camera-happy crazy friends and we cheered the Fighters and talked for the game and it was a lot of fun! One half of the Fighters beat the other half 2-1. Tsuruoka hit a homerun, WTF. It only went 7 innings but that's ok.
I saw my Train Guy friend during BP, but he sat in a different part of the stadium. Afterwards he found me and was like "hey, we're going to Yakiniku Erika, you wanna come with us?" and so I went with him, and DAMN was that fun. Erika is the restaurant run by the parents of Fighters outfielder Hichori Morimoto, and I was wearing my Hichori t-shirt, and so Hichori's dad was like "that shirt looks great on you!" Hehe. Somehow, we arrived a little after 5pm, and we ended up staying until like 10:30pm.. watched the Rakuten game and then the end of the Hanshin game, and drank a LOT. I figured sitting around talking to baseball people in Japanese for several hours took higher priority over volleyball.
