The Opening Day poem

To hell with the peanuts

and Cracker Jacks, man!

Poppa wants an eight-dollar

Budweiser, and some of

them tasty plastic-trayed

nachos—the ones with the

jalapeno pepper slices and

the ladle-ful of warmed-up

     Cheez-Wiz.

    Why is it that the word Cheese-Wiz always makes me think of mouse urine?

    Dont forget the $6.00 Hot-Dog.. And we’re not talkin’ a good , Kosher Hebrew National.. we’re talking a $6.00 by-product special. mmmm Now thats good eatin’

    My favorite, AB. From the unmentionable parts of unacknowledged animals. Yum.

    What about parking? How much is it now – $12.00, $15.00?

    Those dogs are like scrapple:  “Everything but the oink.”

  6. Alpha Baboon says:

    Are you guys saying that there could be piggy peen in those dogs ??? No good American corporation would stoop to using piggy peens just because they could squeeze out a couple more cents profit, would they? American corporations are far too proud of their quality of product to do that… Thats my belief and I’m stickin’ to it..

    Go Twins!

    What is the opening day you speak about? Here in Detroit, we built some sort of large stadium … but I have no idea what goes on in there. 

    I tell ya … <em>Boulevard of Broken Dreams</em? is either Woodward, or Michigan Ave.

  9. Carin says:

    duh. Nice closed tags up there, huh?

    Isn’t Albequerque still batting against Byung-Hyun Kim?

    That is so NOT Club Level.

    Dont sell the venerable Cracker Jacks short my friends.. theyve been a ballpark staple since 1845 when Alexander Joy Cartwright’s wife sold generous sized bags of the homemade treats in the bleachers at Knickerbocker home games for 5 cents a throw.. Today, after 150 years of capitalist progress you can purchase a much smaller portion of a much inferior product for only 100x as much money.. and you even get a crappy little plastic toy inside that you’ll more than likely swallow by mistake or choke on and die.. What product more properly belongs in a modern professional ballpark ?

    Go Nationals!!

    My Metsies started off with a bang today against the Reds. They hit three HR’s. Pedro struckout twelve. Everything was going great until the ninth inning. 

    The Mets were up 6-4, bottom of the ninth. Reliever Brandon Looper serves up a couple of 88 MPH fastballs for homers and voila! 7-6 Cincy.

    It’s gonna be a long season.

    Go Phils!

    HA!!

    I like the $9.00 “40 Clove of Garlic” sandwich that looks like Anna Nicole chundered her TrimSpa bar onto a hot dog roll.

    That and a $6.75 Gordon Biersch Maertzen.

    That’s enough to take your mind off of the $40-each tickets for the game.

    Yes, I sometimes miss Candlestick Park.

    Spam word = “spring”.  Nice.

    By the way, Duck the Fodgers!
