Time for an LLPP rant....

So Im at the red sox game the other night at fenway.  I had seats out in the right field box, in section 93.  Now this section is a big section for Fenway, it has about 50 rows, with about 25 seats in each row.  Now the 25 seats in each row can be a pain in the arse, because if you are in the middle of that row and need to get up to get a beer, or get back to your seat from getting that beer, you need the 12 people towards the end of that row to stand up and let you in and out.

Anyway, 3 times during the game, I saw some of the dumbest people I have ever seen pull the same assinine stunt.  The first time it happened, two guys are in the aisle, look at their tickets, and start to go into a row.  Now the row is filled with people with no empty seats, so you can see that there is not going to be anywhere for these guys to sit.  So here they are, making everyone get up untill they get to the middle of the row.  Now they look at seats 12 and 13 and tell the people in those two seats that they are in the wrong place.  The two people that are sitting down get out their tickets and find out that they are actually in the right place, seats 12 and 13 in row GG.  So the two guys that made everyone get up look at their tickets and realize that they are supposed to be in seats 12 and 13 in row HH.  Now they have to make everyone get up again as they go out to the aisle and find their seats.  This happened 2 more times in different rows in front of me with different people and it was a horrible sight.

Anyway, I have an LLPP rule proposal.

If you are at a sporting event, and are unfamiliar with the stadium or are confused with the seating or row markings, don't just go to the middle of a row if you aren't sure that's your row to begin with.  Ask the people closest to the aisle of that row what row they are in.  Then you don't end up making a jackass of yourself.

Rant over, continue your day.

+k JU.

Just saw that the Bombers will have Bergerstock back to start at RB Saterday.

Bergerstock went for 1,259 yards and 20 TDs last season (behind a different OLine).

Last week, the non-Bergerstock RBs combined for 141 yards and 3 TDs (against the Larries).

Union brings back 9 defensive starters from an '08 team that gave up 132.7 yards/game on the ground and 12 rushing TDs in 9 games.  

(and I think dlip said Union scuffled a bit against Yale's run game in the scrimmage...for whatever that's worth).

So, my question is, can Union stop the IC running game Saterday?

[dlippiel]

dlip was just in the can and thought to hinmself, "Wow dlip has not touched a flusher with his hand in a long time. He now always flushes with his foot. How very hygenic and clean!." Where did this idea of foot flushing come from? The ****in LLPP of course. So here is a thanks to the LLPP for sharing an idea that keeps a fellow LLPPer and all LLPPers for that matter safe and clean in the can. +k to the board!

JU,

What about the guy that comes up to you holding his ticket when an entire section of seats are empty, or sits right next to you when a one seat buffer is available?

My dad and I went to the Bucs last preseason game last week (we had to buy the tickets with our season tickets ... not sure why we went though) and two guys came up to us in a sea of red seats and said "umm, I think you are in our seats."  Then, when we moved down, someone else comes and sits right next to me, there were three of us sitting in the whole damn row and this knucklehead is battling me for the armrest.

+k  Here's another one.  The people who spend most of the time leaving their seats to: get a beer or food, smoke, or go to the can.  These people make you get up 25 times a game as they pass you to get to aisle or stairs.  They catch less then half the game after spending good money on tickets, and the whole row hates them.

Aww man I hate those people.  That happens a lot at Red Sox games as well because people will show up late.  Its worse there because the seats are so small and its nice to watch a few innings with some arm and leg room.  The buffer seat should also be a rule for sporting events.  As long as you are near your seats and can get up easily enough, you should find an open seat and just sit there.

I also hate the practice of some stadiums that wont let you sit in certain sections if you dont have a ticket for that section.  I can understand the rule in some situations (like courtside seats, or special sections where they have different services and what not, or the beginning of a game where you know there wont be any empty seats), but if its the end of a blowout game and everyone is gone from a section, you should be able to move up.

I went to a Baltimore O's game at Camden once and they were losing 15-2 in the 8th inning.  There was only probably 20K to start the game anyway, but in the 8th there was probably about 2K left at the game.  I tried to move up behind the 3rd base dugout and an usher told me that I couldnt go down there without a ticket.  Of this section of 250 seats, 225 of them were open.  I looked around and saw that of the 15 or so sections that went around behind home plate in the front still had an usher there checking tickets.  GO HOME USHERS, THE ****ING GAME IS OVER!.

[Regulator]

Apparently not everyone got the note on the UBR.  Serioulsy, is it that some people feel the need to rub shoulders with others that lead them to the urinal right next to me when there are 4 others in a row? 

Or them showing the world that they are a real man's man to take the middle of three urinals when there isn't anyone else in the restroom?  How about a little common courtesy?

My friends and I have seats on the end of a row of bleachers at Yankee Stadium and we've gotten into the habit of checking tickets before letting anyone in once the game has started just to avoid this problem.  It's not as big a problem in the new stadium because everyone enters from above, but at the old house we turned people away all the time.  It didn't help that the double lettered rows came before the single letter rows, so having the rows numbered now helps as well but it never hurts to self-police.

It is unacceptable.  I chalk it up to bad parenting. 

We had a lawyer here that didn't understand the buffer and wanted to chat you up at the urinal.  Made me want to grab him by the scruff of the next and crack his forehead on the handle.

this is a HUGE rule for pbr...especially if u get the peeker next to you...pbr had a dood the other day trying to catch a look see and pbr finally called his bluff and just turned and looked at him (head only) and was like wtf? dood quickly turned his head away like he wasnt doing anything if you want to toe tap w/ someone go do it in a stall somewhere...

Unlike JU, the people JT is referring aren't really there to watch the damn game.  These people are up and down too often.  They also don't have game savvy.  They always leave in the middle of a big situation or play, often standing in JT's view of play.  They'll leave when a team is first and goal and ready to snap the ball.  JT leaves at change of possession, and will sit on the aisle steps if a play is about to go off so he doesn't block someone's view.  For baseball... end of the inning or half inning.

Dude... when SF has been in your shoes, pbr, wind is broken.... that usually gets the dude to mind his own P's and Q's. 

Quite a few years ago, SF got accosted by a dude looking to fight in the mens bathroom at a bar in downtown Cincy.  He was talkin chit to everyone and then finally he smacked SF's arse.... and then stood there staring when I finished up.  You guessed it, within seconds SF had his hands around the kid's neck... which resulted in him apologizing and offering to buy beers.  10 minutes later, we see the same dude getting lead out in handcuffs.  Turns out the little ass-grabber had punched some girl in the face and got arrested. 

My (now ex) wife thought that whole thing was SF's fault because back then, and probably still does... She didn't see him get arrested later.
