Yankees Game and thoughts from another blog

The game was so much fun. They lost, 10-5, but had one awesome inning (first inning, four runs...it was so exciting!) and we got to see Randy Johnson pitch.

You know what I don't understand? Why get completely drunk at a baseball game, when your team is winning? You won't remember anything! I can't see spending $5-6 a beer for a ton of beers, plus the cost of the ticket, for a nasty hangover and no idea what happened at the game. What's the point??

And the fans in general. Mom said the commentators have discussed the fact that fans have changed the last few years. They were so rude! Yankees fans are known for being very knowledgable about the game. They will boo their players when they play poorly. They will boo the other team for things they do poorly too, or if they insulted someone on the team (like when Pedro said some rather mean things about them a couple years ago) They'll boo the umps for bad calls. But they won't boo the other team's players, just because they play for the other team. Of all games, you'd think I would have heard it at Yankee Stadium against the Red Sox on our honeymoon, but, no. They don't do it.
The fans yesterday booed every time Damon, Jeter, or Sheffield came up to bat. It just made me cheer more, but I just don't get it. I mean, it was great that Toronto finally got some fans (they kinda lost their fan base after the strike, which was when the two teams in Canada were playing really well) but they had no class, and that was hard to deal with. I told my sister, I would have prefered to be in Yankees Stadium, rooting for the away team...then again, Yankees Stadium is just amazing, and all ball players feel the electricity of that park. So that's really kind of a given :)

Melissa, someone I "see" on The Digi Chick, has a blog where she talked about some really cool stuff today. She wrote about a book she's reading:
"It talked about significance, submission, independence, etc. These sentences caught my attention... "...the man and woman are to be complementary of one another. Where he is weak, she can be strong, and vice versa. A wife is given to the man to complete him, not compete with him. If she is going to be a completer, then she needs to recognize her own competency and insights that she brings to the table. A Big Girl believes that she can be one of the best assets her husband has, and she works to be just that. She also gives credit to assets of his that enhance her life."

I think this is so cool! I've always said Josh and I complete each other, and that each of us has what the other needed. But it's also a good thing for me to think about, since I tend to belittle my contribution to, well, just about everything. That's not what God wants, and it makes Josh pretty sad when he realizes I'm treating my contribution as less important than it really is. I haven't thought through it enough yet to see what, exactly, my contribution is, but I know that I have something that I do add to this marriage :)
