I am the worst BSG fan ever.

[ayrdaomei]

Handful of video, until such a time as some goodhearted person uploads the FSN footage of the celebration to YouTube again!

+ 13 minutes of raw clubhouse celebration video via Kpix.com - stream // download. The boys are very loud. Words from with Swisher, Macha, Kotsay, Kielty, and Milton.
+ Local news story video via Kpix.com - stream // download. Words from Frank Thomas, Street, and Swish. DAMN IT PEOPLE, WHERE IS MY ZITO SWOONING OVER DAN FOOTAGE?
+ Dan's part of the postgame conference is downloadable here. Or you can stream it here.
+ Marco and Eric taking questions at the postgame conference is downloadable here. Or you can pull up the postgame conference on mlb.com - the boys come in at the 14:40 mark. Chavvy is a charmer - "This is one of the least talented teams I've ever been on." Oh Eric, you're such a smooth talker!
+ Very short presser with Rich here. Or you can stream it at mlb.com.

And belatedly, some post Game 1 stuff with (a fully dressed) Z at his locker - download.

That's all I got. And despite bouncing about all excited about it this morning, I totally forgot about the premiere of BSG earlier tonight. **face-palms**

Also, people who defriend fans of opposing teams because their friends are happy to see their team win? Make me laugh. Especially when it's a Yankees fan. News flash: With rare exception, you guys are damn near insufferable to the rest of us for 8 months out of the year. And you can't take someone else on your f-list being excited about their team for 2 hours?

And I love the faith it shows in your squad. Dear God, I hope the Tigers kill the Yankees tomorrow. With apologies to you only, [Bad username or site: sensefille / @ livejournal.com], because practically every other Yankee fan I know of makes me want to beat my head into a wall. You guys, I know I joke about going over to the dark side, but if it ever really happens? If I ever start to turn? Kill me. Don't let me become one of them. **spits in palm** Deal? I am trusting you with my immortal soul.

I can almost understand a "I am defriending you before the series in which our teams play because I know this could get nasty due to high emotions, but I will add you back sometime after the series" but other than that... *boggle*

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

See, in that situation, I would just create a friends filter without the 'offending' fans on it, and view my friends list through that, until the series were over. If it were that serious. Which...come on.

Randomly, I was reading that Sizemore article in ESPN the magazine today, and you should write something about Sizemore and Bay in Iowa. Yes.

[unlovablehands.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah, I think what I proposed there was dumb, but I, like... it's not crazy psychotic wanky at least? :D

And man, is this the article the picture in my icon is from? Because I still need to get that article so I can read it. Because... yes. And I totally have a story that has some Grady/Jason Bay in it outlined in a notebook somewhere. If by "outlined" one means "note to self: write some Grady/Jason Bay"

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

Oh that's definitely less wanky than dramatically defriended a bunch of people because you have an obnoxious sense of entitlement and the rest of the world is not catering to it.

And yes, that article! Great outline - I see why you're so prolific :P I can scan the article for you - I would have offered ages ago, I'm sorry. I thought you had it! I couldn't decide whether it made me like Grady more or less, lol. My feelings flip-flopped by the paragraph.

[unlovablehands.livejournal.com]

I actually have some stories which have actual outlines for them! Just... not that one. :\

But yeah, Grady's like that with me in general. Sometimes my heart's all pitter-patter with splodey love for him, and other times, I'm so apathetic it's hard to believe. He induces the moodswinginess in us all, apparently.

By which I mean, if you have time to scan the article, I'd love to read it, but don't feel like you have to! It's my own damn fault for not knowing about the article when it actually came out.

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

**laughs** Well, alright. Everything in good time.

I don't mind scanning it at all! But my comp will cry if I try to do too many things at once, so I'll get the scans to you later this afternoon :)

[spluckle.livejournal.com]

dude. you are a savior!!!!

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

lol, I confess - I stole your superpowers :P

Hear, hear. *claps* :P

**curtseys**

[knowledgequeen.livejournal.com]

Dude. At this point I don't even care if there are any Yankee fans on my list. I was at that game, and we kicked their ass. I'm going to celebrate. *shrugs, gets back to boogying*

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

DOOD. How did you get tickets? I'm so jealous! I can only imagine the atmosphere watching that game live.

Man, party all you want, dude. They've done more than their fair share.

[knowledgequeen.livejournal.com]

My stepfather was just lucky! He went online, scored four tickets for last night. Me, him and my two stepsisters. It was a belated birthday present of sorts. :) And oh my holy crap was it fun. We were in left field upper deck, but honestly that was a great vantage point - you could see everything. And we were sitting next to a leatherlung who kept yelling at this Yankee fan the entire game. And I have no voice. It was freakin' fantastic.

You know I am the worst kind of bandwagon jumper, so I do not vow eternal hatred of the Yankees. Though any sports team that seems to have the sense of entitlement they do has definitely earned a place on my shit list. And who cares, we kicked their collective asses, so party on anyway! XD

Do we get to have a dramatic confrontation about fandom allegiances first and then fight an epic lightsaber battle for the ages? ;-)

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

lol, if it would make you happy. I don't own a lightsaber though :P

[owllover711.livejournal.com]

I'll make you one! What color blade do you want? ;-P

[lovingthecubs.livejournal.com]

You just HAD to crush my hopes & post Z was fully dressed.
[downloads anyway]

Zito must have been swooned out from his MLB blog. ;]

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

Heh, see, I knew some people would download it only to see skin, so I figure I'd save them the waste of time. I'm glad you're downloading anyway ^_^


I heard he said very sweet things! Apparently he was all clammy and nervous cause Dan was on the mound. ♥

[acroarcs.livejournal.com]

This is why I'm so confused (and I think she is, too) about how Bri and I get along so well together.

You forgot BSG?! It was SO GOOD! I'm going to come occupy your planet. Oh, wait. I'm already doing that. My bad.

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think it's cause you two happen to be blessed with emotional maturity.

Dude, I forgot it twice! Because I realized I was missing it at 10 something, and then I was like oh, well, I'll catch the immediate re-airing. And then I forgot about that one, too. Damn elusive footage of Zito distracting me and all. Ah well, the internets will save me again.

[acroarcs.livejournal.com]

You clearly have at least me confused with someone else. Because I'm, like, ten.

Zito is a Cylon. Bad news: He's not human. Good news: There are many copies!

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

**laughs** Well, you beat the person in question by about 4 years, I guess.

I have noooooo problem with that. I am the Helo of my gender! Toasters need love too.

[rickenbacker.livejournal.com]

Hee! Myr just called us emotionally mature.

I think you are the saving grace of this friendship, because I think about some of the things I've said and I should probably be hit. I suppose you know it's not all malicious (and that I have feelings for Adam Everett) but that doesn't really excuse me from saying them.

I was telling my sister that I may have to come back to MO for Memorial Day weekend because a friend wants to come see Busch Stadium. And I'm like "and he's an Astros fan! and a Red Sox fan! and we still get along" and she was duly impressed.

[acroarcs.livejournal.com]

I know, right? What's up with Myr's delusions?

I'm not sure what you've said that would be deserving of getting hit, so, not so much. Maybe there was something and I wrote it off as some form of insanity. (They put something in the water in Missouri, right? That's why you all love the Cardinals, isn't it?) On the other hand, the only reason I restrained myself at all during the nine game streak was because I didn't want to jinx the whole thing. Otherwise, well.

If you're going to go back to Missouri for it, I'll make arrangements for myself the instant the Cardinals put their tickets on sale.

You know, it never occurred to me that Astros and Red Sox makes me more or less your complete baseball nemesis. I guess I could like the Cubs or something. Or now the Angels. (But, ew.)

[rickenbacker.livejournal.com]

What's up with Myr's delusions?

Maybe she feels on an even keel with us, so she prefers to think that we're emotionally mature :P

I'm not sure what you've said that would be deserving of getting hit

I guess sometimes I think "if someone had said that about the Cardinals I'd want to hit them" lol.

And I don't drink the water here, it's nasty :P

If you're going to go back to Missouri for it, I'll make arrangements for myself the instant the Cardinals put their tickets on sale.

By the time tickets get ready to go on sale, I should have a better idea. Assuming I'm in Oakland by May, and I've paid down on my credit card, I don't mind charging it up again to come back and show you Cardinal Nation.

You know, it never occurred to me that Astros and Red Sox makes me more or less your complete baseball nemesis

Lol, oh man. The Red Sox were my first taste of hate, really. It wasn't so much right after October 2004, it was after the winter had passed and I'd had time to stew over it. I couldn't see a Boston logo without having to sign up for anger management.

I still refuse to go to the Boston Market restaurant, just out of principle.

PS Look, I finally did it.

[belle1446.livejournal.com]

!!
I live for this!!

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

And Zito's blog. Because. HE AND DAN HAVE A RELATIONSHIP HE CAN'T EXPLAIN.

We know, Barry. &hearts

(Dude, I am so excited for you guys!)

[belle1446.livejournal.com]

OH MY GOSH THEY HAVE A SPECIAL CONNECTION
A BOND THAT CANNOT AND WILL NOT BE BROKEN

*giggle*

I was just catching up on everyone's comments over at the blog. Noticed a couple of yours. hehe They were the better-written ones, of course. I can't believe that dumbass though who is trying to get Barry to date his sister. LOL DURRRRRRRRR.

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

Noticed a couple of yours. hehe

I GOT A LITTLE CAUGHT UP IN THE MOMENT >.>

lol, yeah, some of them were pretty special on the first one too. COME PLAY FOR MY TEAM PLZ BYE. **rolls eyes**

[belle1446.livejournal.com]

BARRY DIDN'T BLOG THIS WEEKEND
WHAT THE HELL MAN
I THOUGHT YOU WERE ADDICTED

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

lol! Bri and I bitched about that yesterday. If we're already going into withdrawal after two days, how in the world are we gonna handle it once the playoffs are over? :P

[belle1446.livejournal.com]

Don't go there.
*sigh*

[poisonavery.livejournal.com]

LOL if I defriended people on account of being pissy about my team losing, I would have um, NO FRIENDS. :(

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

Except for Marlins fans >:[

[sensefille.livejournal.com]

Thank you for making an exception for me. My fellow Yankee fans are getting on my nerves as well. In yankeesfans, someone has already called for Joe Torre to be fired. Overreacting much?

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

I know! It's always amazing to me how most Yanks fans have all the confidence in the woooooorld until the Yanks have a bad game. And then it's all gloom and doom, and omg, no one in the woooooooooooooorld has ever come back from having lost a baseball game to win another game EVER AGAIN. Except, oh wait.

**sigh** "Stop being on my side! You're making my side look stupid!" comes to mind.

[alixnoorchis.livejournal.com]

My first thought on watching Bobby Crosby pick up a bottle of champagne was "oh God, someone open that for him so he doesn't accidentally break a rib."

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

LOL! Right? In Zito's blog where he talks about not jumping in the pile because he was worried about getting hurt? I was like OH CRAP, I hope someone saved Rich and Bobby from themselves.

[maggiesox.livejournal.com]

Also, people who defriend fans of opposing teams because their friends are happy to see their team win? Make me laugh.

::shakes head at the stupidity of people::

shoukran Myr for the videos, you're the best!!!!
