As a lifelong New York Mets fan I always looked forward to interleague play and when they face the cross town rivals the Yankees. I was invited to the house of a buddy who grew up to be a lifelong Yankee fan along with his wife Karen.
I brought a twelve pack of beer and a bag of pretzels which Karen took into the kitchen, my buddy John was in the living room waiting for me. He was sitting in his recliner turning the game on and I sat on the couch.
"I ordered us a pizza for the game." He said. "Bring your crying towel to dry your tears when the Mets lose again."
He was referring to the game Friday night when they lost by a score of five to two, I just laughed at the remark. Karen came into the living room handing John and then me a cold beer, she left the room again. This time she returned with a tray of snacks and a glass of wine for herself.
The top of the first was uneventful as the Yanks got retired in order, my Mets then threatened but could not score. The pizza arrived and Karen got up to get the pizza, she cleared a spot on the coffee table for it and took the tray of snacks. She came back with another wine and more beer.
Again the Yanks failed to get anything going and it was now the Mets turn, with runners on the corners Jose Reyes singled home a run. With my team up one to nothing I could hear John and Karen moan aloud.
The third inning was again uneventful for the Yanks and again the Mets were up, this time David Wright doubled in a run to make it two to nothing. Both John and Karen booed at this development in the game.
"Not so confident in your team now are you?" I joked.
"They will get it back." John muttered aloud.
"What do you want to bet on it?" I asked.
"John you can't take Kurt's money." Karen laughed.
"Well what can we bet then?" he asked.
I do not know what made me say what I said when he said that, I always found his wife to be attractive. Her short brunette colored hair, green eyes, small 34b breasts and a lovely round bottom made her to be one of the sexiest wives of any of my buddies. As usual for a Yankee game Karen had on what she called her lucky jersey, it was a Derek Jeter jersey that buttoned up the front. She also had on a pair of jean shorts that showed off her long tan legs as she sat a cushion away from me on the couch.
