OR
Lucked out HUGE in the last few months. My buddy has come up huge and has gotten his grimy, law school ginger hands on unfathomably awesome Celts/Sox tickets. So you tell me. In this head to head, who ya got?
Red Sox game: July 17 v. Texas. Cliff Lee v. John Lackey. 3rd base line behindish the visiting dugout. 19 rows back.
Highlights:
- Heidi F. Watney in her full pre-game glory. She's actually in that fuckin picture above. Look at that blondie. I only had my camera phone on me right then. Otherwise I woulda been 4x zoomed all up in those baseballs.
- $7.75 draft.
- This game was ridiculous. 11 innings. UNDER 3 hours. Groundball after groundball. Lackey went 7. Lee went 9. Both just shut the shit down.
- Game ended on a bases-loaded no-out sac fly to center by Youkilis.
- Game was out so early, I got to blackout on Absolut Boston at Game On before 10:30p. Fuckin' Elderflower. Underrated plant.
- Cab ride to hotel afterwards with a Irish cabbie that swore more than I do. So I'm told.
Celtics game: January 7th v. Toronto. 20 rows back. Opposite Home bench. Section 12.
Highlights:
- This was right before Perk came back. Got to see his gargoyle ass drag a 5 foot flat Asian dude across both baselines. Cant see that shit in the nosebleeds.
- $8.50 Sam draft
- Game is so much fuckin faster at floor level. Ray's release is even prettier in person.
- Rondo is a unique player in this league. Seeing him up close is unlike seeing any other player. Except maybe LeBron. Or Blake. I got to see both of them at Staples.
- Back of Tommy's head was clearly visible. As was the contents of his Styrofome cup. Whiskey. Probably Jim Beam. Tommy Points were handed out at a record clip.
- Celts won by 20. And it was the fucking Raptors.
- Shaq. I was sitting 20 rows back and the top of his dome was probably STILL higher than mine. He also sent Linas Kleiza to the emergency room with one of his brick-wall shoulders. They got him listed at 325. You know who's ~325? BJ fucking Raji. And he's listed at 6'2''. Shaq ain't Raji-fat. But he's a foot taller. Gotta be at least 375-400lbs.
If you could sit in either of these seats, all game variables being known, what would you choose?
