Ripped Off

Let me get this straight …

I paid $480 to attend a baseball game started by Matt Harvey and Max Scherzer end in a 3-0 score in favor of Scherzer's team, with Harvey's team getting three hits back in July, when I could have done the exact same thing for about $450 less yesterday?

For an extra $450, I got six less hits, 20 more degrees, the privilege of spending ten dollars on water, one tribute to a Yankee on the Citi Field mound, and an NYPD helicopter flyover … which on a good night I can get in my neighborhood at two in the morning when they're chasing the burglars.

And I missed Scherzer getting a hit off Harvey? A run scoring double, no less? For an extra $450 I got … a J.J. Hardy double. F*cking joy! And I missed Scherzer going 19-1 too!

Well, that I could have stood to miss, along with the bushel full of hits that Harvey gave up. But it's almost like I made it to the Survivor auction and spent all my money on the mystery food item and got fried yak scrotum … with no sour cream. Yuck.
