Today is the day to marry for money.
As we all know, when some of baseball's most 'passionate' fans get together, we see fireworks, as old men start fights and get beaten up and riot cops are forced to protect the field from enraged fans. It's pure magic, especially for those of us who don't care whether the Yankees or Red Sox win but don't have anything better to watch on TV. Tonight, as the Red Sox try to force an unbelievable Game 7 upset over the Yankees to go to the World Series for the first time in two thousand years, what kind of shenanigans can we expect to see?
PreGame: Fans pelt National Anthem singer with debris for singing the song too slowly, delaying the start of the game.
First Inning: Delay of game as Yankees owner George Steinbrenner makes a last minute attempt to purchase all remaining MLB players who are not currently on the Red Sox roster. Second Inning: Red Sox scolded by umpires for new technique of 'punching' runners out. Third Inning: Yankees players upset by the 'looks on the faces' of Red Sox players. Fourth Inning: Alex Rodriguez, who is on deck, knocks the ball out of the Red Sox catcher's hand, forcing a controversial run. Fifth Inning: Two pregnant women in the stands go at it like cats. Sixth Inning: Jesus returns to Earth; nobody cares. Seventh Inning: Yankees patiently try to explain to the Red Sox that technically paid more for their current roster, so they should win. Seventh Inning Stretch: "God Bless America" singer and Irish Tenor Ronan Tynan is cold-cocked by the ghost of Kate Smith. Eight Inning: Pedro Martinez throws a miracle ball from the bullpen to hit Don Zimmer (sitting in the stands and unfortunately not wearing his army helmet) in the head. Ninth Inning: The clouds darken and blood pours from the sky. Postgame: Somebody inquires if there wasn't also a National League game also occuring.
