Conversation with Jessie this morning, after my shift at the front desk:
Venus: Hey, what's up? Our boy David gets the start tonight!
Jessie: It's a sad day for Yankees fans.
Venus: Why? I know that announcer guy died, but that was a couple of days ago. They're sending five [to the All-Star Game], why would they be sad?
Jessie: George Steinbrenner /died/.
Venus: *looks like icon and is suddenly glad she didn't say anything about the Met representative*
So I actually had to go sit down because I couldn't comprehend that (a lot of people feel that way, he'd owned the Yankees since our parents were our ages! Who's going to lead them now?); it had just happened when we were talking about it. Yankees fans, I know we don't always get along, but you've got my sympathies this week. *hugs* ♥
(WTF mood theme, that is not an appropriate face for "shocked"! *changes*)
