Fraternal rivalry, sort of

rscMy brother lives in Philadelphia, and has season tickets for the Phillies (which, like us with our Red Sox tickets, he shares with some other people). During a phone conversation with him on Tuesday, I mentioned that I was going to the game the following night, and he said "So am I."
Last night at about 9:30, just after the Angels had retaken the lead over the Sox in the top of the 7th, the out-or-town scoreboard was updated to show that the Phillies were leading the Nationals 6-0 in the 9th.
I turned to John and said "Dan is having more fun than we are... and he's going to get home sooner."
Well, our game ended up being more fun than I had feared, with that strange (and happy) ending, but I'd just as soon keep the 4-hour games in sub-60F temperatures to a minimum.
Edit: Turns out my brother didn't actually go to the game.
