And with all the obstucted view seats, half the people sitting in the grandstant can't see all the action either. That, along with the fact there is an almost impossible to decipher score board means you have to pay very close attention to know whats going on. Something even I have found I have a hard time doing with out keeping a score card.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5801768329447624769.post-74281250959736288402009-06-16T01:05:05.508-05:002009-06-16T01:05:05.508-05:00Soup,

There is no permanent line up on the jumbotron to let you know who is up next inning and the PA system is not the best.<br /><br />Plus those damn NL rules... whats a double switch? Is that when you change sides of the plate mid at bat? And the rover?Daymonsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16832485378852569696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5801768329447624769.post-53722567470253432422009-06-16T00:28:54.491-05:002009-06-16T00:28:54.491-05:00Really, they're the Pipers?

All I know about Hamline College is that they would really like you to slow down on Snelling. <br /><br />I've heard Cubs fans complain about outsiders coming into Wrigley to be at Wrigley and not necessarily watch baseball. So I can understand that there is a certain douchability to visiting fans. <br /><br />You Hammies leave such good comments.

It was fun because the acoustics are so bad in the dome, so when he screwed up, you had to ask yourself, "wait, did he just call Mark MacLamore Mack MarkLamore?" Or how he called everyone Jose a Jesse. Very good stuff. <br /><br />I think we should be called Hammies only if we're drinking Hamm's. Which is often, so yeah it works. <br /><br />Myself, Daymonster, Brex, tfrezac and lneuville33 were at Wrigley for Sundays game. It was great. I was worried about douchey cubs fans being douchey to us, but the douchiest people we saw there were wearing Twins garb.
