Well I thought DBalc took the cake in what we like to call “heckling.” Oh no, this has changed and I have witnessed this first hand.

 Well I was ever so blessed to be able to go to the Padre game today, with excellent seats. Just a very few rows away from right field, and right behind the Rockies bull pen. It was great!

So we’re watching the game, and downing some food and my good ol hubby decides to begin to “heckle” to Rockies. He goes on about how we (the Padres) are going to beat them blah blah blah.. All this while the Rockies are currently beating us, mind you. So then Mr Carl Parry joins in on this “fun”, so now we have to two of them “heckling” the Rockies bull pen.

Now I just do not understand the joy in heckling the other team. They were doing so good ignoring these obnoxious fans. I ofcourse after every comment Wences made had to follow with, “He is just kidding, don’t worry about it.” Then Wences tells me to hush up I’m embaressing him.. Can you believe this, I”M embarressing HIM

 Hardly the case here.

So the game continues on (and the Padres continue to lose) and I am sitting here trying to get up the guts to ask one of them for a ball. Just to say I got a ball from the hands of a millionaire . Well right as I was about to ask for a ball, Milton Bradley and the first base ump decide to go at it. Well this just opened up the door for some more “heckling”

Milton B and the 1st base ump are exchanging words, then MB tries to get at the ump.. Oh dear I could literally see the fire in MB’s eyes. If he was not held back, he was about to give a beating. So then MB injures his knee, I am sure you all know the story so I will get to the point here.. Which is “heckling!!”

Mr Hawkins (in the bull pen for the Colorado Rockies) was yelling, “Ignore him, let him go!” When MB got injured trying to beat down the ump. So Wences and Carl start their “heckling” again. Telling Hawkins that he was glad that Milton got hurt because he didn’t want to pitch to him. ( Hawkins had been warming up) OH DEAR HERE WE GO!!

Hawkins actually responds to this nonsense stating the following:

“Your boy has a reputation for this, and he needs to get some anger manangement!”

So then we have Lisa, Carl, and Wences responding quite loudly to this. Ofcourse Hawkins is responding back, at this point I can’t hear who is saying what. I was slowly sinking lower and lower into my seat. Then security has to tell everyone that it is enough.

Do you think the “heckling” will stop?!? OH NO…. as Hawkins makes his entrance from the bull pen to the mound Wences and Carl are yelling “Go ahead Hawkins, lose the game for the Rockies” and other silly rants. I was so embarressed that I said, “Great now they are not going to give me a ball!” Well a few of the Rockies players thought this was hilarious, but NOPE they didn’t give me a ball! All thanks to the silly “hecklers”

 All this to say I think heckling the other team is just quite silly, and really not very nice. They are just playing the game they don’t need silly fans being loud mouths. It really makes them uncomfortable, and takes alot for them to not respond. I just don’t think it’s very nice, eat your chipwich and watch the game… That’s what I say..

One good note for this game: I ate my chipwich and it was sooo delicious!!!
