The average life span of a major league baseball is seven pitches.  Seven. And I figure they each cost about, what, $30, so that’s a good $400 a game.  No wonder tickets to see the Portland Beavers are so expensive.  And don’t even talk to me about watching the Blazers.

My kid, he likes paintball.  We go to watch the Naughty Dogs all the time when they’re in town. And now that we have a roller derby league team, the Rose City Rollers, the wife wants to go there.  We’re real sports fans.

But wouldn’t ya know it, I got a bum leg from an accident a few months ago, so I can’t go to these events now. I’m just trying to get back to work, doing my therapy.  It’s been a tough go, taking disability and then having a lot of hospital costs. I was short of about $1200 last month, and wasn’t sure how to swing it. But my kid, he’s a smart one. He took me to a car title loans place on the internet, Portland Car Title Loans.  They gave me my money, almost $1500 all told, and I figure I can pay it back as soon as I get working again.

I told the kid we gotta go stand outside the park at PGE Park and catch some foul balls and home runs if we want to buy tickets there. HA!
