Fun with Paint: Love in right field
Hi everyone! Welcome to Fun with Paint! For our first instalment, we start with a tender moment you may have missed last night between Rios and Hill that happened moments after Hill caught Jason Bartlett's fly ball right in front of Rios in the third inning.
* Fun with Paint is recommended for audiences whose maturity stopped at Grade 7.

This is probably the greatest thing ever.
Thanks, man. It was to appease the anonymous reader responding to Parkes' post.
Where is Parkes and skank writing, this is crap - grow up.
I never would have though Hill was catching.
Maybe Shaun Marcum isn't the best pitcher on the team after all.
never knew Alex wore a sweet wristwatch in the field. awesome.
Can we please get a little more mature on here?
That is, up it from a 7th grade maturity to a 9th grade maturity?
That way, the hand could totally go below the waist!
Marcum may be a pitcher, but Rios is definetly one here.
"Maybe Shaun Marcum isn't the best pitcher on the team after all."
Alright, everyone can go home now — Parkes wins the Internet today.
Why no rose in hills giant paw?
I hope there will be many more installments in this series.
Kathryn Humphreys is jealous now.
hilarious.
Rios and Hill reachin' for "fly balls."
Is that what Gunny Sgt Hartman would call a "reach around"?
Re: moving down to the 100s (that's the topic, isn't it? I mean the gay jokes have to end at some point... don't they?) Have you guys noticed at all that the ushers are a lot more vigilant about checking tickets this year? Or do I just look like a fucking criminal every time I try to sneak by? Ah... or maybe I try and get down there too early, before the game starts. i'm thinking out loud in front of a bunch of strangers...

You're not alone in noticing; security in general this year has been absolutely insane. There will be 10,000 people at a game, and they've still got a security guard posted at every single 100-level aisle until at least the 7th inning or so. It's a bit much.
And they were patting people down at gate ten on Friday.
"Hi Mike,
Love your blog and I just wanted to thank you for opening my eyes to the fantastic Jays blogging community - specifically Drunk Jays Fans. I listened to the podcast and it was great to hear some raw, uncensored Jays talk, and having you on just made it that much more legit."

That sounds like a growing fanbase. Seems like no matter how hard you try (and you try very, very hard) you guys can't seem to avoid popularity.
At least some people hate us, though. It would feel weird otherwise.
RW, I honestly haven't noticed. Are you guys suggesting that I might get my cans felt this evening?
"Kathryn Humphreys is jealous now."
So is Jamie Campbell.
How does it work, then, Stoeten? Wait until the middle of the first, follow behind some people and just ignore eye contact with the usher? They call me every time (I think I'm 0 for 5 this year. Last year I don't remember being stopped) and I stupidly stop, shrug my shoulders, and walk away. I hate that smug, self-satisfied grin that they must be wearing. I should be a goddamn usher, just so I can lower the servitude quotient. Every time I (a Lakeport-drinking, Kraft-dinner eating schmuck) get stopped, I can't help but think of Ted Rogers watching the game from some 50,000 square foot condo in the sky. I hate that fucker for some reason. The worst part is I always get him confused with Paul Godfrey. I don't even think I know what Ted Rogers looks like. Sorry. I've been drinking in the afternoon. Back to my original point... No, a new point. You should ask that Jill chick from your webcast how many more hits her site has gotten since she was on your show. I've watched at least 30 of those things. They're garbage, but I can't help myself. Actually, they're not garbage. When she referred to her 'shallow box' and no one laughed - it was just part of the convo - I knew she had figured a few things out.

ANONYMOUS . . . THEY DETECT FEAR.
FOLLOW A GROUP THAT SHOWED TICKETS . .. OR, HERE'S THE EASY WAY . .. GRAB A BEER and TALK on your phone with other hand. THey won't ask if your hands and attention are busy.
THEY read this shit though so i'm giving too much away.
the door people are being gay about entering proper gate now too. Thank fuck i'm an on the fly thinker.
Also, typically there is only one usher to two outfield 100 sections. If you suck at getting infield those are at least better than snot drip upper galley's.
But honestly, Anonymous, i'm disappointed.
Check for surges of people after the anthems. This can be a good time too.
I tell you what. You can follow our lead. Meet us one day.
Yeah, and never stand near them until you're about to go down.
I'm 2 for 2 this year. Look for a busy section, wait for someone else to check their tickets, slide on in. Not a question asked. I'm usually with the old lady, so she's less unseemly than I.
Or if those tips don't work try being female. I've never been stopped. Mind you, I haven't tried "stealing" seats very many times, but still. If they look at you with suspicion just give them a cute smile and you should be good to go. Not if you're a guy though, obviously.
