Hey there boys and girls. What is the latest and greatest with you guys? Not a whole bunch here. Killing time before my 4pm class. My Senior Portfolio class seems pretty good and it'll be nice to help get a resume and all that jazz ready. Also I have the "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego" theme stuck in my head. You know the one. Also I see that Remy will only be doing home games from here on out (which I expected) but man I hope Eck does some road games. I know Roberts is doing Tampa which is kinda FMLworthy IMO. Also why do I have the feeling that if Eck does the Chicago series (he'll need Sunday off to do the TBS game) we'll end up being subjected to Hawk for a few innings? *gags* Also Bon Jovi did a new promo song for TBS baseball....I am scared. I am very very scared. D:
Anywayyysss...there was an interesting post on Out in Centerfield that had Fan Confessions. Just stuff that you confess you like which goes against the usual ish or will make you come across as a complete asshead. This has the makings of a pretty fun LJ Community for baseball fans but anyways, what are your confessions? We all have our few. Here are mine --
1) I don't really like Josh Beckett that much
2) I prefer Eck to Remy and I think that Eck and Orsillo have better chemistry together
3) I like Alex Cora despite the fact that he sucks
4) I'm more fiercely defensive of JD Drew than any other player even though I really am not a huge diehard fan of his
5) I couldn't stand Tito when he first came here to Boston but now I freaking love the guy and will be quite upset the day he retires
6) I hate Matt Garza more than any Yankee players other than Nick Swisher and Joba Chamberlain
7) I don't get the whole Tek thing
8) I don't really care that much for "Sweet Caroline" mostly because it's not my favorite Neil Diamond song to begin with ("Thank the Lord for the Night Time" is my favorite)
9) Papelbon is really starting to piss me off and really misses the 2007 Papelbon
10) I love the 2007 Red Sox far more than the 2004 Red Sox (though I am not 100% sure if the 07 team could do what the 04 team did...but we'll never know)
11) I hate Jeter more than A-Rod...I actually don't necessarily hate A-Rod. I dislike him and pity him at the same time.
12) I never liked Johnny Damon. I always knew he was gonna go to the Yankees after 2005. I argue that goddamn Curtis Leskanic yousonofabitch played a bigger role in the 2004 ALCS than Damon did.
13) I have a Red Sox camo hat...or had since I think my sister took it. I would actually wear it on a semi-regular basis
14) I've left early from Fenway a few times before. Once was because it was getting late and the T before the last one was leavign in 20 minutes and my friend and I didn't wanna be stuck in Boston for another hour and a half
15) I don't really care if there are steroids in baseball or not. I just wish they wouldn't half-ass the issue.
16) Five Players/Managers I Like that Everybody Else Hates: Alex Cora, Ozzie Guillen, Edgar Renteria, JD Drew, Bronson Arroyo
17) Five Players/Managers I Hate that Everybody Else Likes: Grady Sizemore, Dan Haren, Tony La Russa (okay so he's kinda hated but still), Evan Longoria, Nick Swisher
18) I hate when I feel like I have to apologize for being a Red Sox fan. It's not my fault that there are other fans of my team that act like asshats and it's not my fault that you don't like certain players on my team. But yet, why do I always feel like I have to? I don't know, it's probably just a me thing
19) I have participated in the wave a couple times as a youngin but I was like 13...I didn't know better
20) And finally...I don't hate the Yankees. Actually I don't really hate any ballclub as a whole. I may hate certain teams of certain tiems like the 2003 A's, 2008 Rays, 2004 Yankees, 2003-2005 Orioles, but it doesn't mean that I hate the team. Just that collection.
