I want to live my life, don't want to waste my time

Jus' to reiterate, yesterday wasn't my goodbyes. I'm still here till September. Strangely, I realized my goodbye date coincides with ayrdaomei and I going to the Marlins/Phils game. Hmm. *blames Myr*
ETA: Apparently my extra userpics don't expire to April, though. Anything I can do with them? Transfer them to one of my friends? I don't think extra userpics even works if you don't have a paid account anyway! D:<

-A-Row left last night's game with blurred vision. I am concerned, especially since it seems extremely random. I am hoping it is nothing serious because another Phillie on the DL is not what we need. Although I am wondering if he has any sort of concussion type thingy? I can't think of anything specific, but he obviously throws himself around a lot? Or perhaps it could be heat-related? I have no idea. But it was perfectly nice last night so uh. *pets A-Row*
Also last night the Phillies honored Vuk and put him into the Wall of Fame. I got teary just watching the recap of it.

-?!?!?!
Manager Fredi Gonzalez arrived at Shea Stadium with a gash on the bridge of his nose after a mishap at a Starbucks in the lobby of the team hotel.

On his way out after purchasing a cup of coffee, Gonzalez slammed into a glass wall. The hot coffee not only splattered onto the glass but burned his chest. He did manage to stay on his feet.

"My ego wouldn't let me fall," he said, adding he never had a similar episode while managing in the minors. "The hotels we stayed at with Richmond, the glass wasn't that clean."

Again: ?!?!?!

What is your favorite MLB team?
Philadelphia Phillies

What team do you hate the most?
The Braves. Go away. Stop existing.

Whose uniforms do you like?
I really do like the Phillies'. They're very simple. And the Brewers' retros.

Who's your overall favorite player?
J-Roll

Second favorite player?
Chutley

Third favorite player?
Cole Hamels

What player do you hate the most?
Uh, depends on why. I don't like Smoltz because he is, y'know, a doucheface. I don't like David Wright because he is a puppet.
I hate Rod Barajas because he IS USELESS AND A PUSSY AND OVERPAID RAWR!

Who'll play in the World Series?
Um not the Phillies.

Cy Young winners?
I don't follow the AL enough to give anything more than a guess: Beckett or Bedard. Maybe Bedard more because he's on a lame-ass team and still doing well. NL, uh. Who will win or who I want to win? I think Brad Penny is the front runner for it right now...

High or low socks?
High socks are sweet, but low socks are neat when they incorporate the stirrup (see: early 90's)

Who's your favorite pitcher?
Cole. Jamie. YEAH OKAY, AND GLAVDAWG.

Favorite minor league player?
HAHA. Young Mr. Happ, although I haven't followed him as diligently with him up in Ottawa. And Costanzo in a way. When he's not making a billion errors or chewing his nails or scratching his ears.

Best regular-season moment as a fan?
Are you kidding me, I could be here forever since the regular season is all I know! Off the top of my head, Chase Utley's pinch hit grand slam against the Giants in 05. J-Roll & Chutley's hit streaks. The Phillies' run at the playoffs last year when they were considered dead. Ryan Howard, RoY to MVP. My first Phillies game in 1996 even though they lost. Getting out of the pool on hot summer days so I could go inside, and watch Phillies games in my basement, listen to Harry & Whitey instead of Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum Wheeler & Matthews. I'm pretty positive they lost the majority of those games, but I didn't care. Those were the days.

Non-Phillies-wise: the 2006 Marlins. 22-0.

What do you do when there's no baseball?
"I stare out the window and wait for spring"-Rogers Hornsby
