A day to mess around.

August 20th, 2005

Today is my last full day in San Diego. Some people were thinking about going to Six Flags but I think the four hours of driving was a turn off and no one ended up going. But we all went to the championship game for the Blue Sox. They are a Seattle team which was playing for the C division championship.

It was really hot outside and there was not a lot of seating in the shade. In fact on the Blue Sox side there was none. I spent the first game going between the bleachers and the covered area behind home plate. The problem was that it was crowded under the shade. The first game was not going well for the Blue Sox. They were in the driver seat. They only had to beat the San Francisco team once where the San Fran team would have to beat the Blue Sox twice because the San Fran team was coming from the losers bracket.

The Blue Sox lost the first game by a pretty good margin. So after about a half hour break they played game two. The Blue Sox went on top and never looked back. They lead the game from wire to wire and won the championship. There were a lot of people cheering for them.

After the game we stopped at Carl’s Jr for some lunch and then went back to the hotel. We were going to go out to Baja Betty’s as a team for dinner at eight o’clock. I just watched some TV for a while waiting for eight to roll around. Grandpa called at about seven-thirty to head out.

We met at the car and drove to Baja Betty’s. We had about fifteen people there. I had a couple shots of tequila and two beers. So I let Robert drive from that point on. From Baja Betty’s we went to Bourbon Street. It is a bar in the Hillcrest area of San Diego.

I did not have any more alcohol there. I mainly hung out and people-watched. One guy from another team in our league was getting really friendly with me. His Ex came over and saved me one time. Later on the guy found me again. This time Robert came to the rescue. I was able to get away and I went upstairs. They had a pool table up there. I played some pool against Gerry and Grandpa. Grandpa also played against a guy from the South. That guy beat Grandpa.

We decided to head about a little after midnight. It was a long day and I was ready to go back to the hotel. Gerry and I watched Ghost Ship before turning off the TV and going to sleep.
