You coming out this weekend to see US vs Canada?

[minervacat]

depends, we've got a bunch of other stuff going on this weekend already -- we may make it to sunday's game, maybe.

i sort of wanted to catch the one game out at cary rather than the games at the DBAP, if only because we spent so much time in the training center this spring that i actually sort of miss the damn place. (but i'll also be really, really glad to have our stadium on campus back next year, the commute from carrboro to cary is brutal at rush hour.)

[minervacat]

yes, exactly. ♥

This is a world of pretty.

[minervacat]

thanks, lady!

mmm, baseball.

[minervacat]

the fact that i'm not going to make it to a friday night orioles game AGAIN this season just kills me, d. I MISS SEEING THE BLACK UNIFORMS, OM NOM NOM NOM BASEBALL PLAYERS.

Their performance this season would just make you weep anyway.

The entire AL East is making me weep this year. I MEAN SERIOUSLY. TAMPA FUCKING BAY. TAMPA FUCKING BAY, MIN.

i am oddly delighted by tampa bay, and not just because our local triple a team belongs to them -- i mean, somebody other than the yankees and the red sox is winning the league! THIS GIVES ME HOPE FOR THE ORIOLES EVENTUALLY ONE DAY WHEN I AM OLD.

i can't lie, the way the orioles have hung close to or at .500 this year has pleased me, but i'm still hoping for a late season collapse solely for draft position next year, because what watching lots of college baseball has done for me is made me REALLY conscious of the good college kids available for draft. good draft position is going to be a big deal next year.

the affinity of the durham bulls for tall socks pleases me INFINITELY.
