Rooftop

Randomly I was asked to go to a Cub's rooftop party for one of coworker's brother's batchlor party. I thought it would be a good experience since I have never been on a rooftop and have only been to one Cubs game. Now I think that it's the only way to watch a game. We got free food, free beer, free T-shirt, and a great view. Despite all these perks we had trouble finding some girls to accompany the group for the afternoon. What should have been a very easy sale ended up taking well over a half an hour and only accomplished on the walk to the bleachers. The game itself was boring as sin. It ended 1-0 with a homerun in the top of the 9th after the Cubs pitcher went 8 innings with a no-hitter (except there was a couple of questionable error rulings). The only excitement was a bench-clearing "brawl" that featured some lame punches, a manager wiggling on his back like a turtle, and a hitting coach getting ejected. If I am ever a baseball manager, I think that I will teach my team to fight just in case it comes up. If you are going to get ejected at least knock someone out and have that played on Sportscenter and not a lame duck punch.
