"I heard Rickey Henderson got like $50,000 for giving up a number," Kruk said. Williams gave Kruk two cases of beer. Williams wanted No. 28 because his wife had lots of jewelry with 28 on it. That's gotta be classy stuff, Letterman said, those No. 28 earrings. The story continued. Kruk didn't miss a beat. "Yeah, [Mitch] got divorced, and he ( Read more... )

-So yeah, I totally had a dream that I had a hot dinner date with Steve Nash. And I was awkward and Steve was so sweet. Hm. Seeing as how I've totally been failing at being a basketball fan this year, though not entirely my fault (my work schedule for the first two months of the season usually overlapped with televised games), this is a definite ( Read more... )

Aight aight aight. I caved and made a GreatestJournal. Don't think I'll ever need it, but:

SAILING_MISHAP!Should I make an InsaneJournal too? Or um, should I have made it instead of the GJ? Help meeeeeeee ( Read more... )

-This excites me and probably no one else, but TCM is showing Anthony Perkins movies all afternoon. And not Psycho. Which kind of makes me happy, in a way. I ♥ Anthony Perkins. My first Old Hollywood crush. I'm pretty sure it's in honor of his birthday, which I believe is today. I know it's near mine.
One of the movies is Fear Strikes Out, ( Read more... )

-I was going to watch that thing about The Natural but then David Wright started talking and I wanted to throw something, ANYTHING at the TV. Am I the only one who doesn't LOVE that movie? I mean, I like it alright but I'm sort of picky about baseball movies. Or, I don't know, maybe I just am not good with anything that mixes "real life" with " ( Read more... )

I can't figure out if that lyric is way clever or way emo.

-I finally watched Jurassic Park. And I didn't even...want to? I guess. It was more for research, but I actually kind of enjoyed it. I'd rent it again. Maybe not buy it, unless it was on sale. But yeah ( Read more... )

-If anybody's got some prayers and/or good vibes to spare, please send them the way of John Vukovich. He's been involved with the Phils for 30+ years, as a player, coach, scout...just there. Anyway, he's hospitalized with an inoperable brain tumor and things aren't looking too good.
ETA: Actually. Now, send them his family's way.-Speaking of ( Read more... )

Just a quick update.

-Last night's game was AMAZING! (sorry, panda_check, no pictures. I don't have a camera and the view wasn't really the best for picture-taking). Fifth game this year, fifth blowout I've witnessed. Hrm. Left field seats, pretty damn good view. Some pretty inconsiderate Mets fans (although that's a bit redundant) sitting in front of us ( Read more... )

So, quick update on the basketball front. Which, surprisingly, I'm digging a little more right now than baseball, but that could just be because the WBC isn't really holding my interest. It's just not my scene, sorry folks. Also, the NCAA tourney is coming up too, and the Big East finals are tonight. So yes. Luckily, March Madness ends right as ( Read more... )
