So here we are at the top of seventh inning and the Twins are winning three to nothing, this game is pretty good so far. Only thing is Cole's here but he does seem happy the Twins are winning!
"Come on Liriano! Strike him out!"
Yell a little louder, maybe I'll go deaf! Linda looked like she was having a good time and to me that's all that really mattered. Well as much fun as it is perching on Cole's shoulder and tarnishing his jersey I think I'm going to Linda's shoulder, at least with her I get some respect! Once I got on Linda's shoulder I saw Cole inspecting the damage I did, apparently I left six small holes on the right shoulder but I really didn't care.
"STRIKE THREE! YER OUT!" yelled the umpire
"NICE STRIKE OUT FRANKIE!"
Cole was just yelling at the top of his lungs, for all I care his voice could go hoarse and maybe I won't have to hear him anymore...just saying. Now it was time for the seventh inning stretch and for those of you who aren't baseball fans what the seventh inning stretch is once the top of the seventh inning is over the fans generally get up and stretch or go to the bathroom or get a late snack, also I hear the vendors stop selling alcohol and everyone sings "Take Me Out to the Ballgame."
"I just have to run to the restroom, do you mind watching Blu for me?"
When Linda asked that I saw Cole look away and mutter an obscenity that I'm not really gonna say, but did he look aggravated.
"Sure Linda, I have to call my cousin anyways and thank him for the tickets"
This time I perched on Cole's left shoulder making sure I even it out, now trust me I'm not really a vengeful type bird but it's just Cole's caused me anguish so I figure I'll get back at him. So we all got up from our seats and Linda went to use the ladies' room while Cole and I had went to go to the snack bar because Cole wanted a bottle of water for his voice was a tad hoarse. He took out his phone and called his cousin;
"Yo...yeah I'm at the game, way to hook me up with the wrong game genius! Yeah you got me bring your pet to the ballpark tickets! I told you I wanted T-Shirt day, instead I'm stuck here babysitting Linda's stupid, annoying bird! He already ruined both sleeves of my three-hundred dollar jersey and he's been a pain all day! I swear if...hold on, I'm buying some water...how much? OK, thanks. Anyways as I was saying if Linda wasn't here or if I didn't still have feelings for her, this bird would be fried chicken right about now! Oh before I go, do you remember Brian Delaney? Yeah, turns out he's a cameraman and when they do the kiss cam in about five minutes I slipped him a fifty earlier to have him point the kiss cam at me and Linda! Pretty sweet right? Oh! I want tickets to next week's Twins-White Sox game...you're the best! Bye!"
Now of course I'm offended by Cole's little tirade but sadly, he's not too observant because unknown to Cole, Linda hadn't gone to the bathroom because the line was way too long, but she had come back just in time to hear Cole's little speech. I had seen a look on Linda's face that I had never seen before, she was hurt and I mean hurt! I saw a tear run down her eye but she tried to hide it, I guess she didn't want me to see her like that, I flew off Cole's shoulder on to Linda's which caught his attention.
"Oh Linda, you're back from the bathroom already?"
"The line was pretty long, I can hold it"
"Alright, well they're about to sing Take Me Out to the Ballgame"
"Alright cool, let's go"
So we headed back to our seats and we heard the home crowd singing, and I gotta say it was pretty cool hearing it in person but anyways we sat down and I heard Cole sing but Linda turned her head and she looked so upset.
"I don't get it? Doesn't he like Blu?"
I heard her whisper to herself, you know if I wasn't such a nice guy and this story wasn't K plus rated I'd probably claw Cole's eyes out for hurting her...sorry if I sounded a little graphic there but come on! So anyways after the crowd sang, all of a sudden some music started playing and I heard an announcer;
"Alright Twins fans be on the lookout for our kiss cam!"
It shown one couple, when they noticed the guy gave his woman a quick peck on the cheek
"Come on you can do better!" said the announcer
Then it showed another couple who shared a pretty passionate kiss.
"That's more like it!" said the announcer
Finally the kiss cam came to us and Cole pointed it out to Linda, he smiled then closed his eyes and puckered his lips expecting a kiss, I hope she doesn't! All of a sudden I saw her reach for Cole's water bottle and she poured it all over him on camera...in front of about thirty-thousand plus fans!
"Harsh man, what'd you do?" joked the announcer
Cole was shocked and Linda got up from her seat with me on her shoulder and she looked mad;
"Come on Blu, we're leaving!"
Cole though was in pursuit, he followed us into the hall where the snack bars were;
"Hey! Linda! What the heck?"
"Babysitting Linda's stupid, annoying bird? Do you have any idea what he means to me? What did he ever do to you? I thought you liked him! Let me guess it was all a ruse right? I never want to see you again Cole!"
She stormed out of the stadium and boy was I happy for her!
"Fine! Leave then! You and that dumb parrot!"
"He's a macaw!" she yelled back
Linda had left the stadium and hailed a cab, we were heading back to good old Moose Lake! So thus ends my tale of my first baseball game, from what I hear Cole had gotten pretty humiliated at that game, so much so that I hear that he had moved to New York because he became a laughing stock in Minneapolis, I also hear he's renounced the Twins as his favorite team and he's now a New York Mets fan, but he's still a laughing stock because that video hit the news and the Internet! Well, I'm going to head to bed now...I guess you should do the same depending on what time zone you're in. So good night or good morning I guess. Bye!
(A/N) Haha Cole got humiliated! Oh what a gas! Well that was my first Rio fic and I hope you liked it, also you know I don't own the Minnesota Twins nor Francisco Liriano nor the White Sox nor Target Field nor the New York Mets as they are all sole property of the MLB (Major League Baseball...for those who don't know) I'll be writing another Rio fic in the future, so I hope you'll check that but you don't have to. Until next time!
