My mom says they got 13 inches where we live in Baltimore County. She's supposed to work today, but she ventured outside only as far as necessary to clean the snow off the satellite dishes and then she called out from work. Heh. I love my mom.
I cannot find my school ID and it is driving me mad. I want to hit up the library early this morning and I'd love to check my mail - my id would be of use in both pursuits. I'm gonna go search my car for the second time, but if it's not there, I'm hoping against hope that it's in my desk in Richmond, because I can't think where else it could be. So annoyed.
OTOH, something that is not annoying:
Okay, sure, the kid's pretty cute, too.
Game 4 of the NLCS and Ensberg just threw Pujols out at home in the 9th. Thom Brennaman's call cracks me up. "And a tapper down to third. Here comes the runner, here comes the throw - SAFE? OUT AT THE PLATE! WHAT A PLAY BY ENSBERG!" It's like seriously dude, it's the ninth inning of a 1 run game, can you not anticipate the call and just wait for the ump to let you know? They got this whole hand signal system worked out and everything. He does the same thing in a few minutes when the ball is headed to Everett and he declares "They're not gonna be able to turn two--" Meanwhile, Everett promptly fires the ball off to first for the game-ending double-play.
Don't worry, Astros fans. I'm totally going hands off on your team come Wednesday. I wouldn't want to jinx anyone if I can help it.
MLB.com says 3 days and 4 hours to Spring Training. Of course, MLB.com also seems to think Brian Roberts and Dave Roberts are the same person, so who knows. [Ha, 24 hours later, someone finally fixed it, but the original caption id'd him as Brian Roberts. -- Ed.]
Alright, off to search my car again. Wish me luck.
ETA: Found my ID ^_^ It was underneath the mat on the passenger side of the car. Which...I don't even know. I'm just glad I found it.
I meant to ask earlier, can any of you Astros fans shed more light on the following bit of Roy O backstory that Steve Lyons brought up during one of the broadcasts?
"Great story that Phil Garner told us about Oswalt. When he was in the minor leagues, his arm started to get sore, [though he] tried to pitch through it for a while. Had this old truck that he used to drive to and from the ballpark, and it broke down on him one day, so he threw up the hood, was tinkering around in there, pulling stuff out. . . put two wires together, and gave himself the shock of a lifetime. He went on to the ballpark that day and has never had a sore arm since. . . . He said he was really afraid of that, had never been sore in his life before that. Was trying to pitch through it, didn't want to tell anybody. Just opened up the hood of his car and found the remedy."
