I went t' a Canadians baseball game tonight.
It wasn’t just a Canadian baseball game—th' team be called th' Canadians. Like Vancouver’s hockey team be called th' Canucks. How th' heck did Vancouver get th' right t' call itself by th' country’s name? There’s no team in th' U.S. called “Americans”—hmmmm?
O' course, Montreal’s also got th' Canadiens—as if they don’t piss off th' rest o' Canada enough already. And that reminds me. Why do Canadian teams all have such unoriginal names? Like th' Roughriders and th' Rough Riders. What, that be th' only good noun? There be a sale on leftover jerseys? What?
Th' game be in honor o' Mike, who’s leavin' Vancouver t' head fer Victoria. I’ve given that scurvey dog our movin' boxes, and a recommendation fer Abart Moving—but I don’t want that scurvey dog t' go. I be just startin' t' get t' be knowin' that scurvey dog. It’s only been 20 years, and I’ve got 80 years left t' hang out. But Th' ornery cuss might be back. Maybe. Just maybe.
As fer th' game—th' Canadians beat th' Salem-Keizer Volcanoes in a 5-3 undramatic competition. Meanwhile, th' stadium ran out o' chili, hot dogs, corn dogs, and th' mini donut stand be only open fer 5 innings, and could have sold twice th' donuts if they’d just been able t' produce them faster.
Things have not been smooth at th' mini donut stand since th' fire several years ago (and one might argue they probably be so smooth before th' fire, either.)
By th' way, I spent some time lookin' fer information about a fire in th' mini donut stand, but couldn’t come across any. Did me maties make this up, or did it happen?
All in all, a great time be had. I hope t' go back and take morrrr photos.
