This was my first game of the year in attendance, so my first exposure to the DA intro in the ninth this year.  I know they did it also for Putz when he was here, but it sure smacks of marketing for the trade deadline.  Sure he has been effective with five saves in our six wins, but he is no Mariano Rivera.  Maybe the intro just helps get his juices flowing, but it's just not my style.  I must be getting old.
I was also struck (not literally), by some young males wearing jeans hanging so low they could barely walk.  Down at the field level seats, they couldn't take one step after another up the aisle, but had to take only one step at a time, as the crotch of their jeans limited their stride.  So funny.
Another family across the aisle from us was nearly constantly texting/surfing on their cell phones throughout the game.  They probably spent >$120 for their tickets in total, but they generally missed the game.  I don't get it.  Others gabbed on their cells in the aisle, totally oblivious to the fact they were blocking peoples' views.
Finally, I was appalled at the general obesity of the fans at the game, though I suppose very representative of our society.  The guy in front of me was so big, he had to put his arm around his girlfriend, not to get cozy, but becuase he couldn't fit in his seat.  The stadium food is no help.  Health care reform will not save us from ourselves.
Great game, but the lack of offense scares me.
