Bug-repellent break in the Yankees-Indians game.

[SeattleGirl]

The gnats are really bad right now, but it was pretty freakin' funny, watching all the players spraying Off all over themselves, each other, and the umps.

:spray:

1. Dat's how we do it in the northeast.

And gnats? GNATS? Just plain ole mosquitoes, I should think. :D

[SeattleGirl]

2. Could be mosquitoes.

Whatever they are, there are a lot of 'em!

[WritingIsMyReligion]

6. Wait, are you talking about the game on now?

That's Yankees-Indians, not Angels-BoSox. :D You had me so confused. :D

[SeattleGirl]

8. Oops. I just changed the title of the thread.

Nice catch.

:blush:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

9. Makes you look just a little silly.

:D :D

But it's all right. :)

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

10. I AM a little silly.

But you already knew that, didn't you?

:hi:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

11. Ahh, it's cool.

I fell for it at first, too. :D

[SeattleGirl]

12. The Yanks and Sox played each other a million times this season,

it seems; I think that's where the screw-up came in.

My gawd, those bugs are insane!

[GOPisEvil]

3. Yankees-Indians.

:)

Yeah, it's pretty funny.

[SeattleGirl]

5. They've been dousing themselves with insect repellant, but to

no avail.

[Sanity Claws]

4. None of those nasty gnats here in NY

They should have played in NY and enjoyed this bugfree Indian summer weather.

[SeattleGirl]

7. Ha! You're just suggestng that for a purely altruistic reason, right?

:rofl:

[Bombtrack]

13. I don't mean to be a stereotypical environmentalist (although I am an environmentalist)

but maybe global warming has something to do with this grossness. I hate both teams playing but I don't wish bug attacks on them.

[SeattleGirl]

14. I was thinking about that too.

Especially because it's so warm there right now, and it's October.

[ellisonz]

15. Ha...when I turned on the TV I thought it was snowing!

[SeattleGirl]

16. It kind of does, doesn't it?

I would HATE to be in the middle of that bug storm.

[ellisonz]

19. Especially the batter's box shot...

The trick is to keep your mouth closed.

[SeattleGirl]

20. Exactly.

You could still get them in your eyes and nose though. :scared:

[ellisonz]

21. Emergency supply of goggles and nose plugs.

Your head might explode, but then again half of the Yankee's already know what that feels like...

[Redstone]

17. This is the goddamndest thing I've ever seen in a baseball game. It really DOES look

like it's snowing! How those pitchers manage to concentrate is beyond my ability to comprehend.

18. I don't know how any of the players can concentrate.

The weird thing is that they have all put bug repellent on, and the bugs just keep at them.

The bugs are apparently Canadian Soldiers, a kind of flying ant.
