Alright, ballgame tonight, which means I need to have a productive morning/afternoon of learning how to be all ethical but first:
1.) the Marlins FINALLY held on to win a one-run game. Mikey J had 2 hits, re-cracked the Mendoza line, scored a run, and knocked in a run. But more importantly, THEY DID NOT BLOW IT IN THE NINTH. I'm so friggin' happy. My babies are all grown up.
2.) Sal Fasano is with the Phillies now? And he is, seriously, rocking the most laughable facial hair I have seen on anyone, ever, in the history of modern baseball. It's some handlebar mustache thing? It's very special. He's got an entire fanclub (Fasano's Pizanos?) and they all wear fake mustaches, and apparently sometimes he has pizza sent up to them in the stands.
3.) That pic on the mlb homepage of Dave Roberts and Doug Mirabelli? I am in love with that pic.
4.) [Bad username or site: rickenbacker / @ livejournal.com] informs me that the hitherto unsubstantiated rumors about an engagement for Mulder were confirmed last night, by the Cardinals on air personalities. Discuss amongst yourselves, make a personal note of it, work it into whatever theory you have about the weird Zito-Mulder dynamic since the trade, mark it as Yet Another Thing You Didn't Want To Know...it's up to you.
[Bad username or site: rickenbacker / @ livejournal.com] has declared today will be a Beck-fest; I dunno if that's gonna make her feel better or worse about this whole engagement thing, but I have to go read about professional responsibility, so I think she's got the better end of this deal.
A's also won last night, which makes me happy, though I didn't stay up for the game. Strained right something or another for Bobby Crosby? Good Lord, people. There is injury-prone, and then there is injury-prone. Kielty was optioned back to Sacramento. I feel for him; he was SO happy to be back. And, check out the notes at the bottom of that article. Apparently, it's not just New York. Zito's gonna be driving me crazy with comments like that all year. Jeez. [Bad username or site: roxybritain / @ livejournal.com] says I should become a full-time A's fan, but she knows not what she speaks of. I would announce myself a full-fledged A's fan, and the next day, the A's charter would disappear off the radar somewhere over Montana, never to be seen or heard from again. Also, following a west coast team on east coast time? For the birds. But people should feel free to come sit with me on the back of the bandwagon. I get to let my feet hang over the back. Fun times.
Also, OMG, you guys Derek Bell! A crack fiend. Mulder committed to some woman, and Derek Bell a crack fiend. What the hell is the universe coming to. Also, can you not be doing crack IN YOUR CAR? Little thing called "the privacy of your own home," dude. All I remember about Bell, besides the kind of ugly way he rolled out of baseball, is he had a really easy smile, and it was one of my favorite smiles in the game. And he totally hung out with Garth that one spring Garth spent at ST with the Mets. Heh.

I cannot imagine Mulder getting married. He doesn't seem like the marrying type.
Poor Bobby...I was a fan from back in his days with the Twins (before they earned my UNDYING ENMITY).

It was the whole living on his own in St Louis thing. He needed people around him, like in Oakland, and in his emotional confusion, he misunderstood his feelings to be some desire to settle down ^_~
You hate the Twins? lol, since when? Is this related to Doug in some way?

I'll talk about the Orioles when the words "Orioles", "Melvin Mora" and "have worked out a contract extension" all appear in the same sentence in a press release on the Orioles website.
Well! I guess NOW I see what the beef is about. ;-P Seriously though, I must say I totally sympathize AND agree that MelMo must remain with us. I think B-Rob would be heartbroken to see him go, amongst other reasons...

Poor Mulder...always the last to figure himself out. ;-)

Ah, that's right; you weren't on my FL when all that went down, LOL. Yeah, I was incensed over Doug's being run out of Minnesota. I thought they did character assassination on him something fierce. Also, I never was happy about the Red Wings leaving the Orioles' farm system, so any support I'd shown for the Twins was rather forced to begin with. The worst part of it was I'd kind of liked watching Justin F***ing Morneau play for the Red Wings (all right, I really liked the bastard) and then when the Twinkies started to favor him over my boy Doug...not a nice feeling. So now I hope the Twinkies get contracted, or fall into the ocean. D-8( Just seeing Morneau or Joe Mauer on TV raises my blood pressure...don't even mention Gardenhire. ARGH.
So indeed, I hate the Twins. I LOATHE THEM. *spits*

Heh, I just watched the ninth. It was nice to see some enthusiasm out of the bench; even Bedard was getting into it. I saw the end of one of the Cleveland games I think (or maybe it was the Angels) and the team had won, and I don't think I saw a single person but Dave Cash even crack a smile. Anyway, Perlozzo's double fist pump last night was kind of hilarious.

**laughs** I don't think so. I think I've seen maybe 2 games since the start of the season. I would imagine it's not real, committed fandom until you start re-arranging your sleeping schedule to watch their games. And, you know, one should probably be able to name the entire roster.
Not speaking about the other thing yet.
What other thing? There is no other thing. There are five lights.

I'm not worried. We'll win you over yet. =P If, say, Harden were to pitch 8 full innings again (or even a complete game), you'd stay up for it. No one wants to miss that little pants tug he does after every pitch. It's just too good.
I'm not sure what surprises me more, Mulder being engaged or Crosby being injured YET AGAIN. Both make me sad.

Yes. Two fan groups, despite hitting .108.
That's Philly for you. We'd rather you be colorful than good.

I had no idea, btw, that Philly had this whole Italian population. The Marlins announcers were very taken with the whole Sal Fasano thing.

Yeah, Crosby has a strained right tricep. Mysterious and unexplained. That f***er.

And we were losing for a big portion of the game, so I was pretty convinced Harden would either get the L or a no decision.
Oh man, I love a comeback. And for them to do it against the A's must have been especially satisfying ^_~ Hopefully Dan will be on point again today, and the bats can back him up too.

The hell? Weirdness. Huston and Bobby need to chill out with the overaggressive pillow fights.
