Off to Florida!

Mar 06, 2009 21:44

Just a quickie before I leave for Spring Training tomorrow morning. I haven't had much time to post in between then - sorry!

I'll miss everyone, as usual - I promise to take as many pictures and score as many games as I possibly can!

(P.S. - I think somebody hacked my account and changed my default userpic. I am confused, because everything else ( Read more... )

baseball: mets, baseball, baseball: yu darvish, baseball: red sox, baseball: spring break = spring training, baseball: spring training

Hey, that's very nice of you to wish me a happy birthday...even though it's not until SEPTEMBER! LOL! I suppose it could be my Happy Half-Birthday...

I hope you have a fabulous time at Spring Training...and that you also solve the mystery of the hijacked userpic.

That's why the whole thing is weird - LJ said your birthday was coming up on my log-in page! I am so confused with the site right now...

Thank you! I'm so excited! And it was odd...I just deleted it. I think it was a one-time hacking or something. And I guess now I have more space for new icons now!

ecl1958 March 7 2009, 21:45:54 UTC

That's really strange...not even close! I definitely didn't get any sort of similar notification about myself, although I did when my actual birthday was coming up. LJ is being attacked by gremlins, it appears.

Nothing says "springtime and newness" like new icons -- go for it!

ETA: I see people are making picture requests. Although I still have major eyes for Lugo, I'm also thinking that Ramon Ramirez may end up being the next addition to my list of baseball boyfriends, so if the spirit moves you... :D

It was weird, unless I somehow misremembered something somehow. Either way, I'll make sure to get the correct date later this year when it comes around!

I kind of think I need one of Yu Darvish. Er, just because. I may have to do it.

I'm not sure if I have any of Ramon (I'll have to check), but I did get a few of Lugo before he went down because my game was on Thursday! He and Jed were taking BP together, so I did snap a few of him (he looked right in my direction for a second, so I just had to get them!).

Have fun at Spring Training!

Ahahaha. Waking up at 4:30AM to watch Yu Darvish is totally not lame. I would've done the same thing.

1863_project March 7 2009, 04:26:35 UTC

Thank you!

Okay, I really feel a lot better now. He was just rolling on Thursday...and yet he was still holding back, which just astonished me. He's BRILLIANT.

cornerinfielder March 7 2009, 05:56:59 UTC

You're welcome!
Since Liza's asked something similar, could I put in a special request for Lars Anderson pictures? xD

I wish I could've seen it! I had a lot of studying to do on Thursday and I was already distracted by three ballgames (Sox's, Giants' and Stanford's games). Another game-especially one that early-would've made me want to procrastinate more. :P

1863_project March 15 2009, 03:31:17 UTC

I actually did get to see Lars, and not only do I have some pictures but I got a short video of him taking cuts in BP! (His swing is so natural and gorgeous that I had to.)

Awww, I don't blame you. I was really lame and worked around the game and stuff, but when it started getting late and I knew I was only going to get two hours of sleep I really didn't want to do any more...

Thanks :D Have fun at Spring Training :)

1863_project March 7 2009, 04:24:21 UTC

Welcome! And I sure will!

horsecrazyliza March 7 2009, 03:29:05 UTC

Ooh, have fun! Take pictures! (Can I put in a special request for my newest baseball boyfriend, Kris Johnson? xD)

And I would have woken up to watch Yu Darvish if I hadn't gone to sleep around 2 that morning...

1863_project March 7 2009, 04:24:00 UTC

I will! I will! I promise! (I'll totally try to see him! I'm seeing the Sox in Jupiter, so if I'm lucky he'll tag along with them for the road trip...)

I did go to bed at 2 am that morning. I very stupidly did things the next day on 2.5 hours of sleep, but as soon as my classes were over I took a nap until dinner. But Darvish...mmmm, so worth it. So, so worth it.

horsecrazyliza March 7 2009, 04:34:37 UTC

Ooh good! (LUCKY. And ahaha, I think my grandparents originally had tickets to that game. They offered them to my family, but it's in the middle of a school week and there were only two seats anyway. But that's awesome. Jupiter is great--I went there once, just for workouts, but the field itself looked really nice--have fun!)

Ahahahaha! I had to be out of the house at 7, though... blah. But yes, Darvish = mmmm, under any circumstance. I really wish I could have watched.

1863_project March 15 2009, 03:20:37 UTC

I have way too many to upload. I'll try to do both LJ and Facebook, though! (The field is totally gorgeous! I was in standing room only, though, so it was a little hard to see Josh because people kept walking in front of him. But I ran up the stairs behind home plate and the first person I saw was Jed taking BP. My heart skipped a beat.)

I am so iconing him now that I need a new icon. I like him. A lot. He makes me wake up at ungodly hours of the morning to see his slider. And, well, him.

jennyagain March 7 2009, 15:07:04 UTC

i saw yu darvish on the tape-delay broadcast and AFTER I PICKED MY JAW UP OFF THE FLOOR i thought of you!

::great big hugs::

1863_project March 15 2009, 03:27:22 UTC

HE IS WAY TOO FREAKING PRETTY. And I am trying to infect everyone I know with him because of this. That and his ERA and his slider. Yeah.

(I have to go icon him. Like, now.)
