OMG, cannot focus on tasks at hand. This is so bad. On so many levels, as the man once said.
+ Thanks to a head's up from [Bad username or site: diesolitairedie / @ livejournal.com], I got to see Rosie's appearance on Leno (download available here). I'll be glad when he turns the show over to Conan, because I think Conan's interviews tend to be more random and entertaining, but Rosie laughed a ton, and it was a sight to see ^_^ They also showed a clip of Light My Candle, and... no comment really. But Rosie was cute.
+ I imagine I was the LAST PERSON ON EARTH to see this, and I blame all of you. [Bad username or site: natural_center / @ livejournal.com] links to a short news story on Zito's creative endeavors, and kindly shares some caps. As recently as 3 or 4 months ago, I was still rolling my eyes at people constantly fangirling the Oakland A's, because sure, they're okay, but honestly, they're not all that, they're just skinny, college looking white boys, and now, I can't see a picture of fuckme-haired Barry Zito without thinking how eminently shaggable he is. Thanks for nothing, C_B.
(I still find something about Huston Street rather off-putting though. I realize it seems to be just me. But seriously, there's something very "I want to be a real boy" about him. He's just so...doll-like. I guess because he seems so impossibly young to be playing pro-ball. Weirds me out.)
Anyway.
I was, for reasons no one ought concern themselves with, trolling the AP Photo archive for images of one Constantino Martinez, when I came across some stuff from when he was with the Cards. I'd never seen this image before, and oh man, what a heartbreaker:
(Kannon Kile, 5, stands in for his recently-deceased father during the National Anthem.)
+ As it turns out, my MLB.TV account did not expire on October 31st. Which, in all honesty, is the last thing I needed to know. **face-palms** I'm all too readily distracted as is :-/
+ Oh, and 20 years later, I remember that Matt Lawton went and failed himself a banned substances test. I laughed about him being the first Yankee to get nailed and then I was annoyed when I realized he and Jamal Strong are the first brothers (I've heard of) to get nailed. THANKS, GUYS. **tears up scorecard** (And what in the world is going on in the Mariners organization? Did they even tell their players about the new steroid testing policy? :-P)
+ AND EXCUSE ME WHILE I MURDER THAT THING CRAWLING ON MY WALL. I've killed something like 5 or 6 centipedes in the past week. I really try not to kill things, I'm very much one of those who will, more often than not, just grab a sheet of paper and scoop the offending creature up and out of my living space, but centipedes CREEP ME THE FUCK OUT. I'll be sitting the common room, minding my own business, when I see movement on the far wall or out of the corner of my eye. Ugh. Hate. And they're so long here! And they have all those legs and just. **shudders**

Dood, anytime. The more people that use the Mulder caps, the more I can pretend like I'm not watching and rewatching him throw his slider or lick his lips or towel off in the dugout for me. Because it's all about getting a good snapshot for my friends.
I wish you strength of will to resist him, with his music, and his photography, and his 'I just woke up 5 minutes ago but I'm still fucking hot' hair
I know, baseball player with a guitar? Does not seem like anyone I could ever resist.
You do have some higher standard than that, right? I mean, you wouldn't do Sammy Sosa, or I dunno, Jason Giambi, would you?
Lol, ok. I'd only shag 50% of ballplayers. But I guess considering I find pretty much all other men expendable, it seems like I'm a total slut.
I haven't even heard of it before now, actually
::blinks:: really? I thought it was all the buzz. Maybe that's just in St. Louis, lol.
The title of the story comes from the fact that it tells the tale of a 3-night Cardinals/Cubs series. But it goes into backstory and everything else and really is about so much more than just 3 games or 2 teams. It really made me appreciate baseball more. And Tony La Russa, of course. Oh, and the proceeds from it go to the Animal Rescue Foundation. *yay*
I couldn't make out who it was, but after the video tribute to DK was played, the camera panned to show one of the players just, in tears, and a couple teammates next to him trying to comfort him.
I haven't watched, and obviously it could be anyone (Kile was the kind of guy who took other players under his wing, not just pitchers but Pujols et all), but I think Matt Morris and Jim Edmonds were the closest to him. Jimmy has "DK 57" tattooed on his left wrist.
*sigh* my poor boys

**laughs** Yes, yes indeed.

LOL. I see. And really, I suppose it says something about you that your FRIENDS have dreams about you sleeping with ballplayers :-P (That totally cracked me up, btw. I can't remember who it was who commented in your journal all "I had a dream about you! You fooled around with Jeff Suppan!" That was so weird :-P)

Sounds good to me!

Aww. I didn't know that about Edmonds. (I knew about Morris, cause I've seen him slashed a few times with Mulder and like every other story involves how haunted he is by Kile's death...)
*sigh* my poor boys
Yeah.

lol, yeah that was weird.

oooh weird. any good writers out there that do Cardinal slash?

Oh, I'm the wrong person to ask, but Alex or Shannon might know. I'll get back to you. The stuff I've read/seen have been story fragments or stories connected to this way involved fake!world roleplaying game, which are okay, but not as interesting to me since they're set in a context with which I'm unfamiliar (the whole fake!world thing is so weird. Morris and Moose? And they're engaged? Wtf?)
