I just spent a good eleven hours of my life dressed up as a fictional pitcher. Let me just say that after several hours, the band on the wig starts to hurt. Actually, that wig in general is a pain to work with...I have decided that Sakaeguchi will be much easier the next time I go to a con. Either way, the convention was fun...and most importantly ( Read more... )

This morning I have decided the Herald and I have a love-hate relationship, but only for today. See, it has provided us with the news that Bobby Kielty has accepted his assignment to Pawtucket, but it also gave me this little nugget on its Clubhouse Insider blog:

If you missed the Japan games, be sure to keep a close eye on Oakland starters Joe ( Read more... )

It was a quiet, uneventful off-day today. We did, however, get the news that Coco, Kielty and Schill are all going to Japan. No word yet on Lugo yet, though. I guess we'll see how that worked out when we get the final Japan roster tomorrow.

Nothing really new to report except for an article on Bryan "Colgate" Corey on MLB.com. He grew on me last ( Read more... )

I totally had a prophetic vision last night. Okay, so maybe it wasn't truly prophetic, but it spoke to me.

I was listening to that cheesy 'DSRL' song that Nabisco is using to advertise Oreos (along with commercial king Peyton Manning and his kid brother and Super Bowl Champion Eli) for some reason and was hit by an equally cheesy idea - it involved ( Read more... )

Someone from MLB.com is utterly convinced that Santana is definitely not remaining in Minnesota for the upcoming season. Reading this article, like most Santana articles, made me sick to my stomach - I've been trying to put him in the back of my mind because I'm a bit too attached to the prospects and I don't want to see them go. Besides, I ( Read more... )

So after several days away from a computer, there should be a lot for me to write about, right? Well, there's not as much as there could have been, actually, but here goes:

I spent two days taking my roommate around in New York. During that time, I saw more Sox fans openly displaying their team colors than I had ever seen in the city in my entire ( Read more... )

Well, there's lots of good news to go around today! First off, Curt Schilling has pretty much officially resigned with Boston - he'll play one last season with the Red Sox, which is delightful to hear. Secondly, Youk got what he deserved today - a Gold Glove for his work at first base this season. He was also wearing his Bengals hat, too - I feel ( Read more... )

I'll just start this entry off with a link to The Dugout today: See how Papelbon really picked off Matt Holliday!

That aside, let's talk about the game for a moment. This was more of what I expected the series to be like - good, solid pitching and a lot of small ball. The final score was 2-1 in Boston's favor. Not a big margin of victory like in ( Read more... )

Some people have weird revelations when they listen to music. I think I may be one of them now.

I just bought the song Strike On by m.o.v.e off of iTunes. It's one of the Initial D openings, but it was also used in a good Princess Nine AMV I saw on YouTube. The name combined with some of the lyrics provided me with a coincidence or two...

The song ( Read more... )

I apologize for the lack of posting this weekend - I've been rather busy, what with my family down here to visit and all and my baseball team deciding to win in grand fashion last night. Actually, yesterday was really all about baseball for me, because I didn't just watch it.

No, I played baseball yesterday with the reenacting group at my college. ( Read more... )
