I’ve never been a
big fan of sports games (with the exception of Pigskin Footbrawl).
However, something caught my eye when I was checking out Baseball
Stars 2. Something aside from the fact that your teams consisted of
grown men with names like Vixen, Mummy, and Anthrax.
It was just another day at the ballpark. I was getting my ass handed
to me by the Seoul Ivorys (spelled just like that), and the fans in
the stands were eating it up. It was the bottom of the ninth, and I
had just put in another quarter because the game assured me that we
could still win, even though we were down ten to zero. The pitcher
pitched, I swung the bat, and the ball went right into the hands of
the shortstop. Game over. I lamented the loss, and the fans
cheered...
Whoa, what the
hell? I know you’re excited for your team, lady, but put that hand
away! There are children present!
The umpire called
for a time out, but it was too late. The damage had been done.
Well, at least it
cheered everybody up. My boys needed some cheering up after their
resounding defeat. God bless you, crazy lady.
