stretching a single into a double

i urged one of my single friends to attend this event tonight, but she declined on grounds that baseball fans were both boring and goofy-looking. well, maybe so, but we're uncommonly nice and even romantic, in a sort of slow-paced bookish way.

c'mon, what could be more romantic? dome fans know what i'm talking about: getting together on the colorful plaza, cheering together for a cute li'l small-market team, laughing together at the kiss cam and wide-eyed kids, eating together from famous daves to frosty malts, then whooshing from the dome together, arm in arm.

The Minnesota Twins invite singles from all over the Twin Cities area to an evening at the ballpark.

My first response was "ouch." But then again, couldn't you say the same thing about bloggers?

too true, tina. people who find baseball boring tend to be the same discriminating critics who aver that "classical (or country or jazz or punk or indie or balinese gamelan or ...) music all sounds the same."
