I'm just wearing Red Sox. Who needs pants and shirts ;-)
Without checking the standings, I'm assuming the Giants are not doing well, and I'm assuming you like them since you live there.
Is this were I gloat about my Tigers? *grin* Ok, maybe not gloat.... but dang! We swept Nationals and Atlanta... haven't checked yet to see if we beat Texas last night.
I have a Red Sox hat. But I'm not wearing it.
And surprisingly, the Brewers aren't sucking aras.
Did you know that my nephew (by marriage) was the #2 pitcher behind Jason Verlander on the age 9 or 10 little league team? I did not know this either until this past Sunday when we were at the Nats game.
No hablo baseball.
I think that Jason Verlander is the only baseball player that Boo knows. She keeps throwing that name around. *giggle*
Let me put it this way. The day before yesterday, we found that once again some neanderthal has shit on our property and left it and their toilet paper behind for us to clean. That's sorta how the Giants are doing this year.
Maybe you could put it into an envelope and mail it to the Giants.
Seriously, I can't believe those freako peeps. You need to set up a stakeout.
Call the cops.
I think Boo has a crush on Jason Verlander.
who is Jason Verlander?
What is baseball? *denial*
*singing "calling all angels"*
My Angels are doing pretty good!
but if they poop on the field, wouldn't the referee-dude call a technical or something?
You mean it's baseball season? *runs out of blog*
My nextdoor neighbor used to be a big ball player with the Red Sox, back in the 50's and early 60's. He's a hella nice guy, and according to the picture on his basball card, was really really cute.
That's all I know.
I was just thinking the other day about getting to a Giants game. I went to a Sacramento Rivercats game and realized how much fun I used to have at Candlestick. What's it called now?
I'm impressed the baseball knowledge around here. *giggle*
Tab, they don't play at Candlestick anymore. They have a new stadium at 2nd and King in the City. Beautiful baseball stadium. It started out as PacBell Park but is now AT&T park. Anyone who appreciates a nice ballpark should really take a tour of this park.
Hmm, maybe we should meet up and get to a game together, eh? Or we could always go to Oakland, lol!
Definitely. Give me enough advanced notice and I'll see if Michelle can get me the tickets. She has season tickets but often gives them to her customers. So just let me know and I'll see what I can do.
and NO, I will not be going to Oakland. *spits on Oakland*
Do you know how bad I would like for Oakland to win a Series just so I can laugh at Jason Giambi.
Boo knows baseball. Or she used to rather. Since Conner, I have not been as into as I should be. I need to get back into it, especially since I'm sort of banking on him playing and being my retirement plan.
Actually I think Jim Leyritz really stole my baseball spirit in 1996.
I'm pissed at the A's because we ended up with Zito and he has NOT lived up to his potential this year.
I don't believe Tim Hudson has really produced any fireworks either.
NONE of the Giants have produced shit this year. Durham is having an abysmal (sp) defensive year so far at 2nd. Even Bonds isn't up to par, IMO.
I do love me some Bengie Molina though.
I miss my baseball, but I've just come to a point where I can't let myself get too worked up. I do it enough with the Redskins (who may be a very pleasant surprise this year).
Once I wanted four dogs that I could name Maddux, Glavine, Smoltzie and Avery. Now I hold out for just a Smoltzie.
Glavine is dead to me. Dead.
By the way, in case you didn't know, Smoltzie's original team was Detroit (now home to . . . .) *giggle*
Have we discussed my secret affection for the Skins? As a 49er fan I am supposed to hate them. But my Grandfather, being from Virginia Beach, loved them and we loved to pretend to hate each other during football.
Um. Hello? Has anyone heard about how completely, utterly sucktastic the Rangers are this year? Okay then. Shut.up.
My alltime favoritest baseball hero of all time forever played for Texas. Nolan Ryan. I got to see him pitch many times when I lived in SoCal and went to Angels games.
I love, love, love Nolan Ryan. I followed him religiously from the time I discovered baseball at about age 9 until he retired. The game hasn't been the same since for me.
Nolan Ryan was the very first poster that I ever hung on my walls as a kid. *dork smile*
My current baseball crush is Ryan Teriot of the Cubs. He replaces Mark Prior who is terminally on the DL.
I have an algae eater sucker fish named Karchner after an old Cubs pitcher, who also sucked.
More baseball. I was a huge Ron Cey fan back in 1984 because his nickname was "The Penguin."
When I was 10 I used to carry a huge pile of baseball cards around in my purse. I think they were the only thing in there.
I love going to baseball games when I'm out of town. I was at an Angels game on the day the gave out little Bartolo Colon statues last year. It's heavy. I call him "10 pound Bartolo."
I buy a hat whenever I go to a new ballpark.
When I go to baseball games, the home team always loses, unless they're playing the Cubs.
I need to send you an Orioles shirt, you know, to even out the sistah support. When you wear the Red Sox shirt I feel slighted and stuff.
*grin*
Mmmmmmm Ryne Sandberg.
I know. No one mentioned his name per se, but Frodis started talking 'bout the Cubs.
Speaking of hats, I love to look at hats at ballparks, but the only ones I ever buy are Atlanta hats. And I have a very favorite that I wear all the time.
*snort* I just saw your new tagline up there.
And I'll send you a Tigers one!
I was going to post this in Augie's "wonder" post, but since momma pointed out your tagline, I think I'll post it here.
If you didn't "want to be bullied" and "wanted to be left alone," wouldn't you make a point of not going into threads started by a person who said to you point blank, "I have nothing more to say to to you."
Yes please, send me Tigers and Orioles things. *grin*
I'm with ya, Boo. I have no clue what we are talking about but I'm totally with you. *grin*
We're talking about Bunco, of course.
*strolls into blog one day too late*
I have red socks! See?
and
People shit on your property!?! Can't you get motion-sensitive security lights installed installed in your dark corners? They're not very expensive. And I would at least report it to the cops so it's on their radar. If it's on their radar they may randomly happen to spot someone - especially if it is happening to other people around the area.
I'm late with Swami..
I've been to many a D'backs game, but probably have paid for only a couple. Working for banks, one of them Chase for awhile, there were opportunities for free tickets, and even the suite at Chase Field. But now, since no more working for the Real Estate bigwigs, no more available games.
Sigh, those were fun, haven't been to a game all year. And they were on top, until the Dodgers just took them down, I think.
*doesn't really follow*
*sniffs*
Bravie, I hate to be the one to tell you this (yeah, right, I just HATE it *evil grin*), but you need to change your shirt. You're starting to smell a bit ripe.
*smooch*
I thought ripe was a good thing. Damn that Monsty. She told me to wear this shirt everyday. I blame Monsty.
Maybe she thought you understood to wash it each night. I guess she forgot you're blond(e).
*holds nose*
*smooch*
*raised hand with baseball story*
Bravie, I watched Nolan Ryan throw a no-hitter against the A's. It was very exciting!
June 11, 1990 v.s Oakland, btw (according to a baseball site I googled)
Boo, if you like Ryne Sandburg I highly recommend Ryan Theriot. I saw him first, though.
So back when I had my Mark Prior crush Mr. Fro told me I could sleep with him if the Cubs won the world series. A fairly bold offer since as it turned out, that year was the "Bartman" year. (Let's not speak of it.)
So I told him the other night about my new Cubs crush. He said that Theriot is too young for me. (That is NOT the right thing to say.) Today I looked him up on the Cubs roster, and then sent Mr. Fro an email:
"Ryan Theriot was born in 1979, and is only 6 years younger than I am. That can not be considered robbing the cradle."
What I find unfair, Froody, is that Michelle has put a number limit on my list of celebrities that I can sleep with. Makes no sense. If she is going to let me sleep with Mike Alstott (football), then why not let me sleep with every damn celebrity that I want? She has never put an age limit on me though. She knows that under 20 is off limits for me though so maybe that's why. Well, that and she likes the younger ones. (not too young mind you)
Michael has set no limit on any celebrity "sleep overs" for me. His conditions are that they are woman and that he gets to watch.
I guess that would never happen. Unless it was Stacy Keebler (sp?). That's one cookie I'd certainly have to dip if ever given the opportunity.
*snort*
Michelle and I have separate lists and then we have our together list. They're laminated.<--Only fans of Friends will find this funny.
Ross: Okay, I'm done with my choices. These are final.
Rachel: Well, it's about time.
Joey: Oo, very official.
Ross: Oh, yeah, well, ya know, Chandler printed it up on his computer.
Monica: And who laminated it?
Ross: That was me.
Rachel: Alright, let me see. Uma Thurman, Winona Ryder, Elizabeth Hurely, Michelle Pfieffer, and... Dorothy Hammill?
Ross: Hey, it's my list.
Rachel: Okay, honey, you do realize she only spins like that on ice.
*snort* I love you
*smooch* I love you back.
First post from the cottage had to go on Carey's blog.
I don't watch much baseball, I just play. *grin*
