box or cup of fries?

 tonight, i went to the St. Paul Saints baseball game, my fourth attended this season. saints beat Scranton, 7-5. normally i avoid weeknight games, but this one was a celebration of ten years at this venue, CHS field. it was a long day at work, and i was tired, but i said i am still going to the game. and i am thankful that i did, as it is hard to beat a night at the ballyard. i really didn't feel all that tired until late in the game, which had two delays related to injuries. one was a Scranton player fielding an infield hit and the ball hit him in the eye, Saints scored on this play to tie it 1-1. then it was the home plate umpire around the midway point of the game, and once it resumed there was just two umpires. i ate before i arrived at the stadium, stopping at a speedway gas station and getting a Slurpee drink and a slice of pizza. but when i was walking around the concourse at the game, i got a look at food offerings and got some fries. was it a box, or a cup? hard to say. but i liked having the fries and got some bottled water as well. i recall a video board from Twins games at the dome saying, 'walks will haunt' and this proved to be true in this game. as i recall, three of the runs scored by the saints were on a bases-loaded walk, including the two that put them ahead for good. i liked hearing the music there, even if it was just snippets. there was Weezer's 'island in the sun', as well as 'no sleep til Brooklyn' by the beastie boys. the latter was played multiple times; it was the walk-up song for a Saints player. i bought a Softee ball that i had seen at previous games this season, i knew i didn't have that kind yet. it does remind me of some i acquired from the seasoning-opening celebrations when i was working downtown, known as the 'world's largest game of catch'. oh, guess i should talk about work some more. there was a backlog of checks at the end of the day, more than five thousand. i sent out four tubs full of checks to the mailroom, normally the most i send is three per day. but i got two more Fargo files imported by the end of the day, and as expected the volume is lower so hopefully i will be caught up by the end of the week. all of the Jacksonville checks are printed, and a thousand went out. i saw that the ones printed first had the highest amounts. when i have to draw the line, much like before, it seems to be the easiest way to decide what goes out the door first. during my walks i found 76 cents. the 'big bang theory' rerun was when Howard took apart raj's helicopter and then it went berserk after it was put back together.
