!#$%#@$%$@. Also known as good old fashion SQUEEage XD [Bad username or site: rickenbacker / @ livejournal.com] is some kind of miracle worker! I have NO idea how she scored it - I searched high and low for the damn things and I was all over ebay for weeks after they were given out at Dolphins Stadium. It's, like, so ridiculous how happy this makes me XD She is forgiven the whole disgraceful scoreboard defamation of my character. And Cardinals Nation can love on itself ALL IT WANTS, I no longer have anything smartassed to say about it :P

In other news, I also love my f-list for making sure I knew Roy O. had been picked to replace Pedro. I got two email notifications and a text message. You guys crack me up. But I actually had to go to MLB.com to find out Magglio was tapped to replace Ramirez! -2,000 points for the rest of you ^_~

Dontrelle Willis hit a grand slam in the Marlins/Mets game tonight - guess the extra rest suited him. Tomorrow's doubleheader in New York is single admission, and part of me wishes I had stuck with earlier plans to make the trek. But the Philly series is close enough and I've already spent way too much money on these guys, lol. It's a shame Fox is televising the daygame instead of the much more intriguing evening matchup: Josh Johnson versus the Mets golden child Pelfrey.

Random question - you ever hear Rich Harden speak? I stumbled across a postgame clip of him today, having never heard his voice before, and he just doesn't sound at all like I imagined. For one thing, in a clip that was about 1:45, he said "you know" approximately 34 times. That shit was ridiculous. He was throwing "you know"s around as much as I throw around "like", and there's just no excuse for him, cause he's Canadian. They're supposed to be so well-spoken! ^_~ I understand now why he doesn't get as much camera time as some of the other guys (or at least, that he doesn't seem to). I mean, besides the fact that you can only talk to a guy about the fact that he's snakebitten but so many times. His postgame was kinda hard to listen to. It's funny, I was trying to think of why I imagined he'd sound different and it's less that he's Canadian and a bit more that my mental construct of Rich Harden is based almost entirely on Beck's characterization of him, and he tends to come off a bit more mentally ahead of the game in her fics. The kind of guy who isn't inclined to say something out loud until he's thought it out fairly long and hard, you know? :P I was amused, is all.

Grr. I am having MLB.tv related drama, and there is no good ice cream in my house (Neapolitan? Are you serious?) - it would be ruining my night except that I'm wearing my Jake shirt XD

No good ice cream and wearing your Jake shirt?

Swear I coulda heard that before...

I'm lovin' the shirt! & usually all the ones I've seen of the "notsopopular" players are in only one color, but

rickenbacker managed a nice silvery one! Those stadium giveaways are good things. :D

Oh man. They'd said during the Cubs game that Willis hit a homer, but they didn't say it was a grand slam! Holy cow. That's awesome.

On the Rich note, no- I haven't heard him talk. But it sounds a lot like Matt Murton, who says "No doubt about it" alllllllll the time.

somehow, somewhere, i've heard harden speak. and i didn't notice anything but the fact that his vowels were canadian. that arrested my attention, so all "you knows" were thrown by the wayside.

I just heard about Dontrelle on the way home. Crazy.

I love the way Richie says "everybody". It's so different. "Evrybaudy."

hee, must write richie as kinda dumb now. yay!

That shirt is seven kinds of classy.

Yeah, Rich definitely has filler dependencies. It would be cute except that, as a teacher, I notice that sort of thing all the time from my kids, so it's not actually that cute. But then again, one of my favorite professors in the world said "You know" a lot, and it was just an automatic thing, like a tick, and we just learned to ignore it as we listened to her talk about Aristotle's Poetics as related to Shakespeare :)

I think Rich doesn't even like to talk much. Not long ago you posted some video of an interview panel from some fanfest (I guess it was last year's) with him, Zito, Blanton, and Curt Young, and Harden barely said anything and looked kind of standoffish and uncomfortable the whole time, like he REALLY didn't want to be there, as opposed to Zito, who we all know is totally fine with things like that.

I'm glad you're happy. And is that book called Pagan Babies? *notices the weirdest things*

You realize I am adding this post to my memories, to ensure that no future smartassery goes unchided?

If you petted your shirt half as much as I petted my DVDs (still in the plastic, of course) I'm happy :P Dood, Ozzie Smith footage!! And baby Pujols!!

Does Rich ever say "sorry"? Other than of course "eh?" and "zed", that's the only way I know to spot a Canadian ... they say it like they're saying "sorrid".
