Friar Feud

Guess who is back for Fan Friday?!! ME! 

It's been a longggg while since I last blogged about baseball...if you don't count Wednesday.

Fair warning...this post is a little wordy, but worth it once you get to the videos! Anyways... I mentioned in that Wednesday post is that I got to do Friar Feud at a Padres game a few weeks ago! Friar Feud is  their version of Family Feud, where 100 people are asked a question and you have to guess what the most popular answer was. 

I got a call from our season ticket rep about 6 hours before the ball game and asked if a couple of us would like to do it and I told him I'm sure two of us (out of five) would be down. He put us down and it was game on for that night! I kind of started to freak out because these questions are usually about history, and gold gloves, and averages, and titles, and so on and I'm more of a master of the game of baseball being played on the field...not so much on the team's history! I wasn't sure if I should study, what I SHOULD study, how far back I should go, etc. So I kind of just said screw it, I'll wing it. Between Marcus and I (he was the other person in our group that volunteered to do it) we shouldn't be too far off. 

We cruise down to the stadium, watch a couple innings of the game, and am picked up by one of the Pad Squad people and we pretty much power walk to where we needed to be...which was behind home plate. While we're hustling to get around to the other side of the stadium I ask the chick if she knew the question...and maybeeee the answers. She didn't know either. Damn. Once we got to the area where it took place, we had some time to chill. It was then where I learned that this wasn't a team thing and that it was gonna be me against some other girl. They wouldn't let me switch with Marcus either because it had to be girl vs. girl. Damn. Now the pressure is really on!

So in the 20 minutes we had to chill, our Pad Squad person scored the question AND ANSWERS! Sweet. We do a little pow wow to the side and she reads me the question. I immediately knew 2 of the answers before she had a chance to tell me them...and Marcus can TOTALLY vouch for me on that. After I give her the answers, she tells me...uhh those are good, but I'd go with this one since it's the first one on the list. Okay, cool. It's typed up on paper so it's gotta be official, no?

Nope. Check out the vids...

First of all, how crazy antsy was I?!! Second of all...Gah! I was fed the wrong answer! Glenn Hoffman didn't even PLAY for the Padres! He's a base coach! Ugh. I do take some comfort in knowing that I did say Scott & Jerry Hairston AND Adrian & Edgar Gonzalez during the pow wow...but I didn't win the $50 Friar Funds...instead, I scored some random prize. Hahaha. Oh well, I guess that's what I get for cheating and not trusting myself! 

I've got my last baseball games for the season in this next week, including 2 this weekend! So it'll be a good one :] Hope you all have a good weekend too!
