i have no life outside of my mind.

+ David cracks me up. "What else am I going to do? I have no life." -- David Wright, who was given Monday off, when asked if he'd stay for the game against Cleveland.

+ Venezuela v. DR was a really fun game to watch. Johan Santana seemed shook, right out of the gate. I wish Cabrera's ball off the wall had been a homer to tie it, that would have been heady. Jorge Julio came in late and gave up a bunch of runs to the DR to let them pull away -- SO glad he's not our problem anymore. Watched part of the U.S./Mexico game after; RoLo pitched really well, I was proud of him. Mexico had nothing doing as far as advancing runners - double plays every time someone came up on base. Meh. On the other hand, those were some damn pretty double plays the U.S. was turning, so I can't hate too much. The announcers kept pronouncing Gil as "gill". I wanted to shoot them in the face. My bud Amy was at that game; she had better have not forgotten about my t-shirt! ^_~

I'm gonna miss Canada v. U.S. today, but as the Canadians could barely beat the much joked about South Africans, I don't suspect I'll be missing much.

+ Kelly Clarkson's Because of You is quite possibly the whiniest song I've ever heard. Upon googling the lyrics and considering the song as a whole, I'll allow that it's not THAT whiny ^_~

+ Apparently Cards fans think Cubs fans are defacing their signs. Hilarious. While Cubs fans were wringing their hands over the health of Kerry Wood and Mark Prior, and wondering if Juan Pierre would be the answer at the leadoff spot, Cardinals fans were calling for an investigation into the bird-nappings. Why weren't the police on the case immediately? Certainly criminal charges needed to be filed against the perpetrators. If the perps could be identified, that is. No one desecrates the Cardinals logo and gets away with it! Harrumph.

Why, I'll bet some Cardinals fans were sharpening their scissors, making plans to exact their revenge on Cubs billboards, thinking, "You're not going to get away with this, you lousy Cubbies."

lol, I kind of love it when people make fun of Cardinals fans :-P (not that I love you any less, [Bad username or site: rickenbacker / @ livejournal.com])

+ Anyone seen Ultraviolet? I'm kind of amused that it has a 5% fresh rating on RottenTomatoes. I don't think I've ever seen a movie with so low a rating. Then again, only 40 or so reviews so far. [Bad username or site: johnnybvo / @ livejournal.com], I can go tomorrow, if you still want? I'll be back in MD by tomorrow morning.

+ Headed out of town for the day. My dad says I'll get lost. I don't think I will, but I'll accept all good, directions-focused vibes ^_^

+ For tags purposes: 23 ST camp minicons/bases posted to [Bad username or site: baseball_icons / @ livejournal.com] (here). And anyone who was waiting on a second batch of general ST icons? Just not gonna happen, sorry.

**laughs** It's okay. The finals of this WBC thing are weekend after this one, I think. Jose will be back in Port St. Lucie and the two of you can get back to playing drunk tag, or whatever it is you ballplayers do for fun :-P

[rickenbacker.livejournal.com]

lol @ DWright. that's so cute.

I can't listen to Because of You because it reminds me of my stepdad.

I heard about the birdnapping (after the truth was out) but I didn't know anyone was blaming Cubs fans, lol.

OOOOH. It's about her father? I only ever catch bits and pieces and I could never quite figure what was going on. That makes so much more sense! I was like dude, it's not your boyfriend's fault that you're all emotionally fragile and shit, buck up and shut up. Being about a parent changes the calculus some.

lol, that story on the signs slaaaaaaayed me. "What would the Cubs do with a bunch of Cardinals? Lose to them? Please." LMAO.

[rickenbacker.livejournal.com]

yeah if you watch the video it's totally about her parents and not repeating the same mistakes in her own relationship.

"Why don't they steal something less valuable, like Wrigley Field?"

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

HA. You know what's funny about that? I totally know where she's coming from. I've often said my parents have pretty much put me off the idea of getting married, you know, EVER. They never made me afraid to leave the sidewalk though.

Cards fans are HARSH. Best fans in baseball, my eye :-P

[rickenbacker.livejournal.com]

I don't think I ever, at any point in life, wanted to get married, but my stepdad pretty much threw me off of having men in my life in any capacity whatsoever.

Except, you know, baseball is trying to sneak them back in. As far as I know though, you can't get pregnant into a relationship by just lusting admiring someone from a distance, so I guess that's alright.

See, Cards fans just can't win ...Either we're harsh & hypocritical or we're passive pansy-asses *mock-sigh* Price you pay for being famous, I guess :P

Because of You is one of the songs the Aeros sound guy plays when opposing teams score, so it's hard for me like it. ;-) It kinda bugs me that he uses songs you'd actually hear on the radio...at least the Stars use an original instrumental ditty. Now I'll bet my boy can't listen to How Far Is Heaven (opposing goal #1 song) without thinking of a puck in the net behind him. :-(

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

Thank you; I knew you would be looking out for me :-P

Aww. And the audio guy probably thinks he's being all clever and with it. But really he's just annoying everyone.

[kmousie.livejournal.com]

Thank you; I knew you would be looking out for me :-P

Of course!

Aww. And the audio guy probably thinks he's being all clever and with it. But really he's just annoying everyone.

Indeed. Maybe we should write him a letter. ;-)

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

You should! A strongly worded letter. Comprised entirely of song lyrics. SEE HOW HE LIKES IT :-P

[kmousie.livejournal.com]

Ooh, a project! This isn't composed entirely of song lyrics, but I'm doing this on the fly here:

Dear audio guy,

Because of you, neither my hockey boyfriend nor I can listen to the radio without cringing. You may ask, "How far is heaven for people who think they're clever and with it but really just annoy the fans and players with random songs after opposing goals?" I'll tell you, it's pretty darn far, mister! Compose an emo instrumental ditty pronto!! I won't back down with these letters until you stop annoying us. We'd really like to enjoy the radio again.

No love,

Katie

(Do you like my new icon? I made it last night for my write-up, which I haven't done yet but will get to soon, hopefully!)

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

**laughs** Well done, for something on the fly :-P And yay hockey boyfriend icons ^_~

[kmousie.livejournal.com]

Glad you like both the letter and the icon. I'll have to update the icon once I get a picture of my darling in his Wild sweater. Wonder what MN's audio guy plays?

*cries* That's both happy and selfishly sad crying...and curse regional broadcasts. I don't get Fox Sports North, so I can't watch the games on TV. I think I'll be able to listen to them on the Wild website, though.

Canada beat the US 8-6. la gasp. Never saw that one coming..

"What would the Cubs do with a bunch of Cardinals? Lose to them? Please. Maybe next year." Sadly funny.. but hey- we were like 11-6 or something against them.. Yet we couldn't beat the Pirates. O_o

I still can't get over thinking of ANYONE stealing things off a sign, hah.

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

It boggles the mind! :-P Though everyone running around like chickens with their heads cut off, freaking out that the US might not advance? Kinda amusing.

but hey- we were like 11-6 or something against them.. Yet we couldn't beat the Pirates. O_o

**laughs** That's like us with Boston. We play them pretty well...and then get thrashed by Tampa Bay. Makes no sense.

lol, I kind of love it when people make fun of Cardinals fans :-P

Wee! Me too!

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

LOL. **high-fives**
