Thursday's Things

(on some Thursdays at OOB, I rant in list fashion)

Things Overheard In Yankee Stadium During Tuesday Night's All-Star Game

1. "This is the House That Ruth Built and that Steinbrenner Foreclosed"

2. "There are more Cubs here than in Yellowstone Park!"

3. "Is it possible to root for the American League but not the Red Sox?"

4. "15th inning? What else do you expect from an All-Star game played in the City That Never Sleeps?"

5. "This game ended right around the time Mickey Mantle and Whitey Ford would be getting in for the night, so it's appropriate"

6. "Isn't there someone else the AL can play?"

7. "Those ice cream cones remind me -- where's Madonna?"

8. "It worked for Tampa Bay: let's just call them the 'Kees"

9. "This game is almost as long as the run of Magic Johnson's talk show!"

10. "So now that the AL won, this means the Yankees get home field advantage in the World Series, right? RIGHT?"

11. "Fire Millen!"
