Number 97: Reservior Kitty

IPB Image

The next poster on my list is really the cat’s meow – oh fuck you all, I’ve said worse. I really had no idea who Reservior Kitty was until Eddie Guerrero died, which I’m not sure if you, the TSM poster, were aware about in regards to his passing, especially if you get your Internet wrestling news from this place. I get that Eddie was a popular wrestler and all, but let’s just say that some people, well, overreacted a bit with his passing; jokes such as “The room is spinning,” “here comes the vomit” and “My whole family was depressed” were born from this unfortunate event. Oddly enough, when the news came out that Eddie died, I chose to keep my sarcastic mouth shut because a lot of people really did treat Eddie like a family member and I don’t want anyone cracking jokes at Paul Harvey (my Eddie Guerrero) when he finally goes to that big newsroom in the sky. However, I then saw a thread in the Music folder titled Songs that will make you think of Eddie Guerrero. I couldn’t take it anymore. A few of us decided to branch out and find out what other things made us thing of Eddie Guerrero, such as movies, pornography, books, and video games. Why do I mention all this? Because Mrs. Kitty was so kind as to take command of the computers and technology division, earning her a place on my list no matter what commie drivel she may think (and I’m sure she does since she personally knows Tyler). Also, I’m hoping that maybe by honoring her she’ll PM me some pics of her naughty bits or something. I guess it really is true that death can bring people closer together.

 

• They say the cool thing about baseball is that you never know what could happen each time you go to the ballpark, and that is true. Last night the Pirates played an 18-inning game against the Astros and won, thanks in part to a wild pitch that was thrown while the Astros were intentionally walking a batter. But here’s the kicker: apparently, this game should not have gone into extra innings. Earlier in the contest there was a play at the plate where the Pirates catches touched a runner with his glove, but he was holding the ball with his other hand. The hometown announcers said that should not have counted as an out, and since I don’t know the official rule on tagging someone I’ll just assume they’re correct.

 

I generally try to stay for any event I pay to attend, whether it is a movie or sporting event. There are a few exceptions. For example, if I invite someone to go to an event and they wish to leave a bit early, I’ll honor their request. But if it is up to me I wait until the final out is played or the ending credits roll. The only time I left a sporting event early was in 1990 during a Pirates/Dodgers game. For the first eight-and-a-half innings the Dodgers were getting the best of the Pirates and built up a hefty lead (something like 6-0) To make matters worse, the weather was awful, and there were several rain delays. I was at this game with a friend and my mom, and we all agreed to leave early and avoid the post-game traffic. We left at the top of the ninth, and by the time we made it to the car the Pirates were at bat. I remember being in a McDonald’s drive-thru when the Pirates scored the game-winning run and swore to myself right then and there that I would never leave another game early. A few years later I was at another ball game with my half-brother and a few other people. This time the Pirates were down by a handful of runs and played like shit for eight-and-a-half innings. While most people in the group were talking about leaving early, I suggested that we stick around; sure enough, the Pirates once again overcame a 5-6 run deficit and ended up winning the game. It was like déjà vu all over again.

That reminds me of the one and ONLY high school basketball game I ever attended in my HS life. I was dragged to this game, which was an away game against Winton Woods (as you may recall, that was in Forrest Park, a high gang area) by my new gf, as her best friend was our starting PG.

 

I protested not only because I had no school pride stance but because of the location of this game. I offered to attend the next game but she wouldn't hear it. So here I am, white kid with a shaved head driving my gf's BMW walking into the proverbial war-zone. I'll admit, I was scared shitless.

 

I never walked into a school with armed guards and metal detectors before, I had come from a fairly upstanding school and thanks to this girl, I was entering into a school out of that Dangerous Minds movie.

 

Anyways...our school was already in the playoffs win or lose but Winton Woods needed a win to secure a spot. Which meant it was a hostile crowd. Our school section probably consisted of about 20 kids. It was only a 25 minute drive but people weren't taking the risk for a meaningless game.

 

Since WW is a crummy school in every aspect, their gym was a piece of shit built in the 1930's. The seats were caked in grafftii and here's what got me...my gf wasn't even bothered by this whole scene. She was from Detroit, so I guess she was used to this type of thing.

 

So the point is, we were losing 60 something to 30 something with only the last quarter to play. I tried to get her to leave, seeing that we were down by about 30 pts. She said no... I went to the bathroom...

 

I returned with 6 minutes to play and the lead was cut to 20 but It still seemed hopeless. Yet, here's the amazing thing...in a 90 second process our school managed to score 10 pts and cut the game down to 10 pts with just under 4 minutes to play. I could see the gang-bangers get nervous because as dumb as they were, they were aware of our school's ability to score quick and they were seeing that.

 

With a minute left, we had pulled within 4 pts and somehow we pulled the improbable upset and tied the game with 2 seconds to go. They froze WW for the entire last 4 minutes and of course as soon as that ball went in for the tie, I could've sworn I heard 500 guns being loaded.

 

And the finish? We intercepted the pass and hit a half-court shot to win the game. Yeah, It was crazy and for the first time I actually "marked out" for a school event. Then I grabbed my gf and ran the hell out of the gym to make our escape.

 

The really interesting thing? 2 years later, in my senior year our school and WW made headlines because of a really ugly brawl that occured at their venue. It was interesting because by all acounts WW got their asses kicked in the brawl. The reporters were almost celebrating that the white preppy rich kids beat down the gang-bangers.

 

That would have been a more fun game to attend.

Yep. I remember Don Saught scoring the winning run and Tim Belcher being the Dodgers starting pitcher. Also, Bob Kipper pitched; for some reason I was Kipper mark back in the day. I think it was the name.

 

And you caught me in my web of lies; the Pirates had already scored one run earlier in the game.

 

Oh, and yesterday, they blew a 4-0 lead in the ninth and lost the game in extra innings -- I love this team.
