Take Me Out to The Bawrl-game-uh!

To pay homage to the birthplace of George Washington, The Bill of Rights, and Twinkies, we thought we’d spend our nation’s birthday patronizing the greatest of American pastimes: Korean Baseball.  It was a scorcher with the top rated LG Twins taking on the 2nd place Doosan Bears. The Twins took the early lead scoring 8 runs in the 4th inning to overtake the Bears’ paltry 2.  As the sun went down and the beer cans emptied, the Twins decided to really kick-ass taking the game to an 11-2 finisher. Luckily, on their way into the stadium, the Strange Seouls had arbitrarily selected to support the Twins based solely on the hilarity of their spirit wear.

No hotdogs or peanuts and if you want a beer you need to stumble down the narrow stairs and through the crowds to get it, making this an altogether different ballgame. But you can leave the stadium to visit the Domino’s Pizza, KFC and Burger King just through the gates, and best of all you can bring in all three at the same time, in copious amounts that just scream, “Hey Look at me. I’m a fat Democracy-lovin’ American.”  Then you can gorge on said American delicacies while knocking back more Korean beer and doing the wave. They do indeed have the wave here. They also have a chant to the tune of Puff the Magic Dragon!?! We added a little Take Me Out to the Ballgame during the nonexistent 7th inning stretch(they do theirs after the 5th) and badda-bing-badda-boom we’d made a little bit of the good ol’ USA right here in Asialand. Thanks to all the fans who didn’t understand all our horrible English heckling and to the makers of Hite beer for making this wonderful 4th of July possible. See ya soon America!
