"Post Gaming"

There are two types of people I go to Phillies games with. Group 1 People who are happy for a night out at the ball park and watch the game. We talk about the game all night and comment on the players. The 2nd group is the type that basically binge drink and look for loose women.

Thursday nights game I went with the later. Which kind of sucked because I had been looking forward to the Phils Mets match up when I bought the tickets in April. Most other games I go to, I sit down and watch the entire game. Except for the game in April when I had to give into the group that had zero desire to watch the game. We were all intoxicated in the parking lot, made it into the stadium only to watch one inning before our fun leader led us into the over priced barin the bank.

We hung out at MccFaddens where my friend knew the bartender and she was really cute and cool. We got to see a Mets fan tossed out of the bar. This time last year I didnt leave my seat once during the MEt/Phils game and I think I jinxed them. When we went to the bar in the 8th inning the team fell apart. At this point it was hard to actually focus on the game anyway.

Later we went back to Clancy's in Westville ( or whatever town that is)where most of us had left our cars. My one drunken friend wanted to play Sleep with, kill, and marry with the bartender. We started with famous people than he asked about us adding have kids with because they were four of us. I must say I was happy to be in the sleep with list and honored to be in the same class as Mike Richards and Alicia LAne (how hot is that?). HOwever, I am pretty sure it might have had something to do with me being the least drunk.

Later I did find out that she is a huge Flyers fan which just makes her even hotter. THan we left (the older dude peaced out so it was the three of us) going down the street to the worst bar ever. The Pennant. Yeah, if you like to go to a bar with weirdo people, slutty girls and dudes looking to fight than this is the place for you.

Oddly enough if my one friend hadnt named dropped we wouldnt get in. He had a friend that worked there and he had to use his pull to get us in. Apperently the trashy hall in the wall during a night called WHITE TRASH WEDNESDAY doesnt allow people with Jerseys to walk into the bar. He had on a Ryan Howard jersey. I was wearing a 14.99 Phils t-shirt and he was wearing a $100 jersey. Whats the deal? Is that Gangsta colors or something? Clearly about 45 percent of the bar came from the game ( its right over the bridge and cheap on Weds) because everyone was decked out in Phillies shirts. It made no sense to me at all.

NOw I dont mind bars that are a bit fancier like in Center City where its understood if you dont wear a nice button down shirt you will look like a slob. BUt I mean, the PEnnant??!?! what the hell. After one of the biggest games of the year, and someone just wants to wear a jersey.

We all eventually got seperated and I just peaced out. Promising again to myself that I would never step foot in that awful place. A funny night with a few other things I shouldn't post on here going down.
