M's-A's: Kielty Band
Jun. 22nd, 2005 01:01 amSecond day of work. I actually wrote a little bit of code today, with Jack. It was exciting!
I walked around the area my building is in, to look for lunch. It turns out I can walk to Soup Daddy (one of my old favorite lunch spots when I worked at Amazon) in like, 7-8 minutes. Dude. I should see if any of my Amazon friends want to meet up for lunch there one of these years (I grabbed soup and salad there, and the place was crawling with Amazon folks, though none I recognized)
I went to the Mariners-A's game with Laura, Matt, and Ryan. Matt and Ryan had driven down from Canada specifically because they wanted Ken Griffey Jr. statues. Apparently many many other people did as well. Infact, it pissed me off how many people were just walking in, getting their statue, and walking out. I think they said attendance was 31000, but in reality I'm pretty damn sure that 31000 people walked through the gates and about 15000 of them immediately walked back OUT of the gates.
The game itself was pretty good, especially when I decided to start committing the ultimate sacrilege and root for the goddamn Oakland A's. (Well, I was wearing my Kendall shirt. I think it started there.) Ryan and Matt insisted on making dirty jokes about Johnson and Swisher all night.
I joked that the A's won because my Canadian friends came down and the starting pitcher was Rich Harden, who is from Victoria, BC.
They played TMBG's "Don't Let's Start" as the background music for the bloopers reel.
I kept singing things like "K is for Kielty and that's good enough for me. K is for Kielty and he's number 23. K is for Kielty and that's good enough for me. Kielty, Kielty, Kielty... starts with a K!" Then he'd strike out. It didn't work for Kendall and Kotsay, though.
I still have nobody going with me to tonight (Wednesday)'s game, if anyone is interested. It's in my normal season seats.
