I Need A Calmative

It was a very nerve wracking night at Slugger Field watching my beloved Bats.  We won in extra innings 2-1, thank goodness.  But the game was, as I said, nerve wracking.  There was a huge group in our section, and they were there to just socialize, and socialize loudly they did.  One family in particular was on our nerves.  They had four kids - a baby that the mother had in a backpack-like contraption strapped to her front, a girl that was maybe 6 or 7, and two boys, maybe 6 or 7 and an older one, maybe 10.  The girl ran up and down the aisle steps at least 87 times tonight.  And her mother toting the baby wasn't far behind.  And when the mother would go up or down the aisle steps, she'd always stop at the row in front of us and socialize, obstructing our view of what was going on out on the ball field.  They left the game at about 8:30, so we had an hour of peace.  But I sure would have taken a Xanax during the game if someone had given me one.
