Metrodome: Section 134, Seats 19 & 20.

One down, Twenty-nine more staring us in the face. The Twins capitalized on the White Sox’s fielding hiccups in the 2nd inning en route to a 4-3 victory last night. Yet, it was the environment inside the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome that has us heading to Milwaukee thinking, “If this is supposedly the most depressing place we are intending to see, then we certainly aren’t going to need a Prozac prescription.” Granted, it is a tad bizarre to watch a game indoors, where the roof is the same color as the ball. Still, after baking in the car for the previous two days, it was a relief to hear the temperature was 18 degrees cooler inside at the start of the game.

Todd’s brother, Kyle, ditched his corporate locker to attend the game too. As he has a job, we were certainly glad to have him pay the $6.75 a beer. All jokes aside, and when the Wojtanowicz brothers get together you are sure to hear many, we really do appreciate Kyle pointing out the socially awkward in the stands. Our camera is going to be the impetus for a pretty serious confrontation down the road (pun intended), although that is a conversation for another day. Right now, we care more about digitally memorializing a few yahoos.

(Side note: Brett “God” Favre is still down in Hattiesburg, MS, according to ESPN’s Rachel Nichols. That said, judging from the vibe in these parts, the masses are preparing for the “resurrection” that is near. This is supported by the #4 Vikings jersey that was being sported by a misguided youth.)













By choosing to soak in a few more minutes of television, neither of us is willing to check the mileage on the car thus far. We promise to update you in our next correspondence.

In meantime, rest assured that we went to the game for free last night courtesy of Will’s willingness to stand outside and repeatedly utter, “By any chance, does anyone have any extras?” Todd's new name for him is "Sedgwick," as he is, in fact, the Mooch Closer. Sure enough, about 30 minutes after beginning, he texted Todd and Kyle with the good news that they were officially a charity case. Like our relationship with the Soviets during WWII, sometimes the ends justify the means. Our consensus is that $0.00 is the best price for anything these days.
