Last Friday Night I’m Spending At Home This Year.

Reds 10, Astros 4

If you were at this game then you know that you know that you had an opportunity to get a collectible cap and “coupons” for tickets for next season. Unfortunately an opportunity to get an Astros win was not available on the night.

Astros Highlights:

Kazuo Matsui went 2 for 4 on the night, with a homerun.

Tim Byrdak and Chad Paronto each pitched a scoreless inning of baseball.

Reds Highlights:

Joey Votto and Juan Francisco had pretty good nights at the plate.

Matt Maloney went 7 innings giving up 2 runs.

Game Analysis:

There really isn’t much to analyze at this point in the season. There doesn’t seem to be much interest by either fans or players.

Bench Tidbits:

Have a friend from NYC in town this weekend. Glad her sister decided to have all of us go to the Astros game. The company was great, the game as noted above was not. We went to a bar at Main and Alabama called the Big Top. I rather liked the place. You pretty much just sit around drinking. Many of you may be surprised, but I didn’t have a single drink on the night. Yeah, BudGirl didn’t drink.

Plans for Saturday include the UH–Texas Tech game. I am so excited. I have no idea who is going to win this game, but I am really hoping UH shows up and plays great football.

I am planning to save a life on Sunday by donating blood after madd, then I am going to the Texans game. I love free tickets!! Kick ass!!

One interesting story about an encounter at MMP Friday night. My friend Ana and I get our “coupons,” then become designated drivers for free coupons for a small drink, then continue onto our seats. While on the escalator we encounter a woman with a large stack of “coupons.” Apparently some guy behind us decides to ask why she has so many of the “coupons.” She tells him something, which we were trying to ignore. Then on the next section of the escalator she decides to ask me about the situation. I don’t know why she thought it was of interest to me. But she starts saying how she asked how many she could have and at least three different people told her she could have as many as she wanted. So, she proceeded to take as many as she wanted. I don’t think anyone really missed out on the “coupons.”

The thing that kind of amuses me about the whole thing is that the lady was thinking she had “season tickets” since she had so many of them. I don’t think she realized they were only good for Monday-Thursday games in April and May. She wanted to get something and took more than she really needed. I just hope she left the game happy with her “season tickets.”

It is time for me to get ready for the Cougars. ‘Eat’em up Coogs!!!!
