New default icon! Which proved lucky last night. Well, I suppose it isn't exactly luck when it comes to beating the '08 Braves, but, you know. Cole's reaction after he gave up the double to Heap, and subsequently was taken out of the game, I don't know, it made me full of tiny hearts. Not that I like Cole being upset, or anything. But, he's a ( Read more... )

Setting: Matt Treanor, not a power hitter by any means, is at bat with two runners on, and 2 outs, and working the count. Logan Kensing (the pitcher) is on deck.

Rich Waltz: Now, Logan Kensing is just in the on-deck circle for show.
Tommy Hutton: He won't hit unless Treanor knocks in a run.
Rich: *giggles* Or unless he hits a 3-run homer!

Wow, second game in a week that the Phils got hosed, and had the outcome of the game affected by a blatantly wrong call by an ump. I don't tend, or even like, to bitch about umpires, because this strike was always outside, and that ball was always on the corner, and that shit evens itself out as the year unfolds. But when they're big calls that ( Read more... )

Guys! I just got Opening Night tix for the RPhils!

Although who I'm going with is still up in the air. It will be one of the stockboys from work. Which one? I'm not sure but it's leaning heavily on Ernest right now. Since today Cole told me he may be unavailable due to possible incarceration. Hm.

I don't care who I'm going with, so long as ( Read more... )

I never thought I'd ever have to say this, but:

Eff you, Reading Phillies

Ugh. They have enough with their eleventy mascots and enough fireworks to single-handedly keep the industry in business from year-to-year.

In other news: Happy belated birthday to christyedna! Maybe we could fake some !David/!Huston pr0n? Just for the hell of it? :D ( Read more... )

I was gonna filter this to my "special" list but this isn't all deep and dark to me, even though it might be to some people, were they in the same situation. Anywho.

Oh GOD NO. The Phillies are getting ALTERNATE JERSEYS! Sob. The very small upside is that Cole Hamels will model them. But that is, as I said, small. *curls in a ball* I'm not against alternate jerseys, per se. I just. Don't see the point to them? Some teams look okay with them becauase they're not a drastic change but I don't know. I ( Read more... )

I knew they'd deal Bourn. And it still hurts. At least he's going to his hometown, and he'll get more playing time ( Read more... )

Haha, two weeks ago I had no job and now I have two jobs. The plant nursery needs someone, temporarily, to come in and do some watering. Don't know how long "temporarily" entails, whether it be a few days or a few weeks, but hey. Not like I'm doing anything else ( Read more... )
