You know, if Brad Lidge was my closer

[ayrdaomei]

I wouldn't know whether to blow him or kick him in the 'nads at this point. STOP SCARING THE SHIT OUT OF PEOPLE, yo.

That was a really good game. I was rooting for your boys, [Bad username or site: rickenbacker / @ livejournal.com], I really was. I'm not much good at it though. I think I cursed out Grudzie a couple times. Insane strike zone, everyone was pissed off, promising innings kept ending in naught. (Though how cool would it have been if Johnny Rodriguez had hit that ball anywhere but the deepest part of the park?) Fun times. In the immortal words of my bro..."And now we have the definition of excitement: the White Sox and Angels."

Heh, yes.

Dear Angels,

Let's try not sucking? Just this one time. See how it works out for you?

Cheers,
Myr

This guy just asked La Russa, "How frustrating is it that the Astros have struggled with runners in scoring position, but they keep coming up with ways to beat you guys?"

HAHAHAHAHAHA. Smooth, guy. Smooth.

Dunno about Brandon, but Brad scared the crap out of me tonight. ;)

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

LOL, yeah. him too then :-P

[catslash.livejournal.com]

Notice how I am not making the Brandon/McCarver joke. I wouldn't do that to you.

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

See, I knew you were gonna go there. **laughs** I knew it. I thought maybe you'd let it go, but the damage is done :-P I AM SHAMED.

[catslash.livejournal.com]

Well, stop serving yourself up on a silver platter, then, because I have yet to develop the retraint and nobility to let the easy jokes go unmade. *g*

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

Well, stop serving yourself up on a silver platter, then

**laughs** Right, well when I figure that out, I'll be set for life :-P

Dear Angels,

I totally hear you. I've had it with the Angels playing crappy baseball! They're not my first team and I don't have to be nice to them!

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

**laughs** You tell them! I guess they didn't get my letter in time though. I'm so annoyed! I'm not ready for the World Series to get here yet :( The quicker it gets here, the sooner it'll be gone and then what are we gonna doooooooooooooooooooo? **waves pom-poms** Come on St. Louis!

[bisquickgoddess.livejournal.com]

And another thing about the Angels: I realize the games don't start on time in October, but an hour late? I need my rest!

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

Seriously; and in fact, I fell asleep on this game around the 6th inning. I'm a nerd though, and I was taping it, so I can check it out later. But it's not the same :(

[bisquickgoddess.livejournal.com]

I went to bed when it was tied 3-3, but couldn't fall asleep despite my attempt to get eight hours. When I got online, I couldn't figure out why the White Sox were going to the World Series. meh.

That was actually more Izzylike than Lidgelike. He doesn't usually do that. And I can't believe I can talk about this.

Poor Grudzie. Me, I tend to pile on the "baby"s when my boys do something... less than perfect. As in, "aw baby what're you doing" or "thats ok baby, thats ok, get back in there"

I can't believe Jimmy got thrown out in the middle of his atbat. I know he said "Fuck that" but good god, get some fucking consistency. Guys are supposed to know to lay off the "magic words" that get them ejected and blah blah, but I can't fault Jimmy for being passionate about it.

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

He doesn't usually do that.

Oh, he's been putting on a special show for me? :-P Yeah, the announcers were talking about how he'd been lights out against the Cards but I was like REALLY? BECAUSE HE JUST SEEMS PRETTY DAMN LUCKY TO ME.


And I can't believe I can talk about this.

Seriously. And with proper punctuation and everything.

Well, that's understandable, you've seen them at their best, so you can handle them when they're less than perfect. I was really pissed off at them though. I might have called Albert Pujols the NL's Alex Rodriguez and perhaps maybe the word "overrated" slipped out a couple times. I kept waiting for him to SHOW ME SOMETHING. Then again, I think he knocked in your only run, so, there you go.

but I can't fault Jimmy for being passionate about it.

No, me neither. Especially in the 8th inning of a close playoff game like that. Especially on a 3-2 count in the at bat. Jeez louise.

[rickenbacker.livejournal.com]

Yeah, so keep watching. I'd love to see some hits offa him again.

I was really pissed off at them though

Lol, well it's nice that you cared enough to be pissed off.

I might have called Albert Pujols the NL's Alex Rodriguez and perhaps maybe the word "overrated" slipped out a couple times.

I know, he hasn't been himself lately. Though that aggressive baserunning that got him thrown out at the plate? That is him. He's just obsessed with scoring, and a couple times its ended badly. But the other times, it's the only reason we've scored. So I figure, he needs to just keep doing what he's doing.

He really is an amazing hitter though, he can take the best pitch and do something with it. He's not always trying to swing for the fences, so he doesn't strike out much. He just takes what he's given and gets on base.

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

Yeah, so keep watching. I'd love to see some hits offa him again.

Hee! From your keyboard to God's mainframe :-P

I take it back about Albert :-P Way to be clutch. Coming up early in an inning and getting on base is fine and all, but it's pretty freaking sweet when he swings for the fences too :-P

[rickenbacker.livejournal.com]

Seriously, I am thinking about finding a church to go to on Sunday if we win this thing. They were asking Albert what he was thinking going up to the plate and he says he was just thinking "please God give me the strength". I'm guessing he's Catholic, so maybe I should go to a Catholic church?

Not that it's that freaking miraculous that we did it, because we've been doing stuff like this all year, but I still feel like I want to GIVE THANKS.

I take it back about Albert :-P Way to be clutch

Yaaaay! And yeah, NOBODY swings for the fences, like Berto :)
