Didn't I say as soon as I placed my bpal order, those other scents I was looking for would show up? So of course, yesterday I get an offer on The Pool of Tears, Mouse's Long & Sad Tale, Tweedledee, and Tweedledum. It never fails!

Marlins lost today, on MIKE JACOBS T-SHIRT DAY :( It's also Jewish Heritage Day, which the Marlins swear had nothing to do with a mistaken impression that Jacobs is Jewish, but no one is buying that. But that's a cool bit on a guy who's tracking the Jewish presence in baseball.

Apparently, Kevin Millar thinks the O's lack chemistry and focus. Thanks for the diagnosis, Dr. Obvious. That's why the Orioles signed him. DANCE, FUNNY MAN. MAKE EVERYTHING OKAY. This is how our Front Office thinks. **rolls eyes**

I'm feeling very restless, which is a terrible thing for such a hot day. I tried watching games, I tried reading (Forever Odd's coming along quite well, btw), but nothing's working. Hopefully the A's game will do the trick. If not, maybe I'll watch some more Veronica Mars. It's been about a week since my mini-marathon.

Oh hey: Rich Harden LIVES.

Before Saturday's game, manager Ken Macha had a quick word with his club that one member of the A's described as, " 'Go, fight, win!' " -- A's pep up. LOL. I bet that was Swish. Maybe Kotsay? I hear he's a dry wit. Also, I kind of like Dan Johnson.

Johnson had spent the past few days trying to figure out how to fix a problem with his swing -- his top hand was not right, causing him to roll over on everything.

"Hence, the 9,000 ground balls in a row," Johnson said.

**laughs** Yeah, I like him.

Thanks for the link. I kind of want to send it to my friend Jason's roommate. We were over at their house last October watching a game, and John made some comment about Brad's being Jewish. The roommate (also named Brad, coincidentally), said, "No, he's not." John said, "Yeah, he is." To which roommate-Brad responded, "I disagree." Um, dude, that's not something you can disagree about. It's not like he said, "He's the best defensive catcher in the league." *laughs* (Of course, I'd say that's also true, but I'm biased.) But I don't put much stock into what this guy has to say about stuff anyway. Apparently, ballplayers can't be Jewish. Also, one cannot be both gay and Vietnamese, according to his logic. *facepalm*

Sounds like a winner. Well, maybe he'd read it! But probably not.

Yeah, a real prize. /sarcasm

Well, maybe he'd read it! But probably not.

I printed it out for John (along with the all-time roster from Jewish Major Leaguers (http://jewishmajorleaguers.org/)), and he said, "I need to get Brad's email address from Jason and send him the story." John appreciates the link as well...he's big into baseball history. The roster is interesting, too. :-)

*snort* I just can't stay mad at you, Myr. You're just too damn adorable. And funny.

But yes. That is pretty much all Millar's good for. That and hitting foul homeruns. And getting walked as the potential tying run in the bottom of the 9th inning of rather important play-off games.

XD

And groundball double plays. DON'T FORGET THOSE. That's an important part of his repertoire.

Yeah, the O's lack chemistry, Kevin. That's why you're here, dumbass!!!!

*sigh*

I guess he just thought we really needed his powerful bat in our lineup :P
