(just outnumbered by the skanks. heh)<BR/><BR/>ANd it was more my nephew and the kids behind us trying to do the wave. I think of the wave as a perfectly acceptable baseball tradition, but not so much for hockey. I remember at a Cincinnati Reds game back in like 92 or something, we had the wave go all around the stadium 7 times.S.A.M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17506479286542011522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099439052359653516.post-70068093201504522702008-07-05T00:19:00.000-04:002008-07-05T00:19:00.000-04:00Oh, so that was you trying to start the wave. I h...Oh, so that was <I>you</I> trying to start the wave. I hate the wave! :P But I did appreciate the "Let's go Buff-a-lo!" chants so thanks for that! <BR/><BR/>There was a little guy in front of us, probably 6 or so who tried mightily to make it through the whole show but he eventually conked out in his dad's lap. He did wake up for part of the fireworks though. It definitely made for a long night. I was exhausted when we got home and I don't have an early bed-time.<BR/><BR/>And Sam, I would NEVER accuse you of being a puckbunny. I know there are people out there who appreciate Roy-Z for his game - I do - but ugh, there are plenty who don't. (I will say for the record, he is the one puckbunny favorite who I do think is really very cute.)Heather B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06796852014625052317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099439052359653516.post-51372820794295772242008-07-04T23:28:00.000-04:002008-07-04T23:28:00.000-04:00^^^Is a Derek Roy fan (even has a jersey) but is N...^^^<BR/><BR/>Is a Derek Roy fan (even has a jersey) but is NOT a puckbunny. <BR/><BR/>I knew you weren't talking about me but I had to stand up for the decent Royzie fans out there.

We were way out in left field (starting all those let's go buffalo chants and the wave) The game was actually more fun than baseball usually is for me. I want to go to another game! <BR/><BR/>Oh and it's my fault the Bisons lost. See, in the 9th, I was remembering just how darn cool it was when the Sabres had that comeback against TB and scored 6 goals in the 3rd when I was there. (you were too, as I recall, what is it with us and late-game rallies?) and so in baseball fashion, I busted meself a rally cap- my Sabres hat of course, inside out and backwards. They started scoring. So I kept it that way. Then I turned it sideways when they were defending just to be cool. BUT, in the 13th inning, I ran to the restroom. I turned my hat back cuz the embroidery was itchy- and Rochester scored! Oooops. I thought maybe I should write the fellas a letter of apology for ruining it. ;)<BR/><BR/>Sadly, since I went to the game with my sister, brother-in-law and their kids- we were there with a 2 yr old and a 4 yr old, (as well as the two older kids, who were fine) we did not stay for the fireworks. We caught a few of the songs, then hit the road during the jungle book medly because my 4 yr old nephew was too tired to exist. I really wanted to hear the Star Wars medly too! <BR/><BR/>I'm a bit sad about missing the fireworks, and the military salute. We went 2 years ago and it was just really great. With a sister in the Army (on her 2nd tour of Iraq right now) and one just commissioned in the Air Force, it hits pretty hard and is very moving. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, Cool recap of all the goings-on!S.A.M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17506479286542011522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099439052359653516.post-42904843004116786222008-07-04T19:09:00.000-04:002008-07-04T19:09:00.000-04:00Karen, the Katebits sighting was a surprise to her...Karen, the Katebits sighting was a surprise to her. When the sides were changing I stood up and waved and yelled but she was totally ignoring me :P<BR/><BR/>Lee, if you're really desperate to know who did what last night, I'll point you to the <A = _BLANK HREF="http://buffalonews.typepad.com/insidepitch/2008/07/live-from-the-b.html" REL="nofollow">live blog</A> at Inside Pitch. They pretty much covered it.<BR/><BR/>I knew Ensberg had left the Astros and moved on to San Diego and then New York but that was the last I'd heard. I really had no idea he was in Buffalo until last night. Also, I've voted for Berkman 4,000 times so that accounts for part of his lead over Pujols. (Kidding. I did vote for him a few times though.)<BR/><BR/>And I will bow to your knowledge on pitchers. I thought about throwing Abbot in there but I'm not as familiar with Hollowell and some of the younger girls you mentioned. <BR/><BR/>Derek Roy is a puckbunny favorite and in my experience, he tends to draw the worst of the lot. Jason Pominville's puckbunnies seem to be mostly sweet. Derek's are not. (And yes, that's a total generalization. If you're a sweet Roy-Z puckbunny, I apologize.) Anyway, I was assuming you wouldn't be cheering for Derek because he's cute so you're probably safe.<BR/><BR/>Kate, I'm pretty sure I saw you dive right off that stage and snag the HR ball in mid-air. It was amazing! :-DHeather B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06796852014625052317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099439052359653516.post-19931886320040108542008-07-04T16:57:00.000-04:002008-07-04T16:57:00.000-04:00Hee!

The fans are actually voting for people that should be starting.

Really it should be unanimous because he's been that good, but apparently everybody is still in love with that Pujols guy so he got some votes.<BR/><BR/>And Jennie third all-time? I don't know. I guess maybe at one time but I'd take Lisa, Cat, Abbott, Jennie Ritter and Alicia Hollowell now. I'd probably add Megan Gibson and Angela Tincher soon too. <BR/><BR/>This is fun, you should talk about baseball more. Go D-Rays! And Mets I guess...LeeAndrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09053004353554099326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099439052359653516.post-47321114495687587932008-07-04T12:10:00.000-04:002008-07-04T12:10:00.000-04:00Stuff happened?

Did Adam Miller or Jensen Lewis pitch?<BR/><BR/>FYI: Morgans Ensberg got demoted back in 2006 when the Astros acquired Aubrey Huff. Huff left in 2007 but the Astros got Ty Wigginton to play third. Wiggy had a pretty good season last year but not so much this year. Meanwhile, Ensberg was traded to San Diego, they didn't re-sign him, he signed with the Yankees, was released in June and just signed with the Indians about two weeks ago. The Indians aren't playing well so maybe he'll get called up. Although the Indians have 2 great third basemen prospects they might want to call up instead.<BR/><BR/>Wait a minute! Derek Roy fans aren't very bright? You said you thought I would be a Derek Roy fan!LeeAndrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09053004353554099326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099439052359653516.post-26431385490323193782008-07-04T09:32:00.000-04:002008-07-04T09:32:00.000-04:00Does Katebits know about the sighting, or will it ...Does Katebits know about the sighting, or will it be a surprise?karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01015005627576368267noreply@blogger.com
