Carol and I were watching the Sox game tonight when something really bizarre happened.
It was the bottom of the eighth - the Sox were winning against the Yankees in New York.
All of a sudden, you hear the fans get riled-up. The TV crew takes to a shot of - some fan that fell out of the upper deck and is now laying in the net attached to the backstop! Holy crap!
Update: There are reports that the kid jumped. 18-year-old Scott Harper of Armonk, N.Y. told three friends he was sitting with that he was going to test whether the net would hold his weight -- and then he jumped, police said.
Harper was arrested and police expect to charge him with reckless endangerment, criminal mischief, criminal trespass and disorderly conduct.
Idiot.
I do like these comments, though:
"I've never seen anything like that before," White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen said. "I think that's New York, you know, anything can happen."
"That was the only exciting thing that happened today," Yankees owner George Steinbrenner said.
Well, there it goes...
On the way home from work tonight, I had to pull over to take a picture of my odometer - my Infiniti turned over 100,000 miles.
Discovery made it home just fine this morning - though they landed at Edwards instead on Florida. All-in-all, a very uneventful entry and landing.
Wonder how long it will be until we see another shuttle launch?
FIX IT. GET IT RIGHT. GET US BACK INTO SPACE.
