Moonlit Jazz

I can’t believe I didn’t post yesterday! Ye gods!

Well, the A’s didn’t play yesterday, so perhaps that explains the absent post. How sad is that? And what’s going to happen when the season ends? [sigh]

I’ve decided that one day, someday I’d like to end up living along the coast somewhere. When we did the 17 Mile Drive in Monterey, I realized that my ultimate happy place (besides being anywhere with the hubby and baseball games) is along a misty shore, with the crash of the waves my music and the salty breeze my air. Something feels so right about being in that moment.

Of course, if I were a millionare, I would definitely have a house along the 17 Mile Drive. 😉

Today the A’s take on the Seattle Mariners up in Seattle. GO A’S!!! 😀 Oh, and read TEN BURNING QUESTIONS FOR MARK MULDER. What is with him and country music? I wonder if he was tortured with it as a child. LOL! Oh well, everyone has to have a flaw. 😛

Okay, I took a quiz. 😛

Alas, the A’s lost to the Yankees, 8-2. 😛

I’m too lazy to scan my A’s magazine, so I used the digital camera instead. LOL!

Don’t they look tough? LOL! I told my friend to guess which one I like. (Yes, I like all of them, but…) If you’re reading, leave a comment! 😉

The A’s won again against the White Sox, 10-0. Tim Hudson got the win! 🙂 And so ends the longest homestand of the season for my boys. Off they go to New York, then Chicago, then I don’t know where. LOL!

Erik Thomson didn’t win his Logie. 🙁 But here’s a nice picture of Erik and his wife Caitlin on the way into the awards show…

And almost time for the A’s game…

I do not think I have ever been to such an A’s game!
A’s blast Buehrle, White Sox

The A’s kicked some serious butt! Four home runs in the 3rd inning (a very LONG inning, I might add 😛 ) by Scott Hatteberg, Terrence Long, Carlos Peña and Frank Menechino. Mike Fyhrie, stepping in again for Mark Mulder, got the win.

It was an early day for us, since I wanted to get my Tim Hudson Bobblehead. LOL! We stood in line for an hour at the gates and got our bobbleheads. (I’ll have to take a picture of it later.) Then we had time to check out our seats (under the overhang so that *someone* doesn’t get sunburned), watch the end of the no hitter from Boston Red Sox’s Derek Lowe (had to look that one up), and watch the end of the Magic/Hornets game (Hornets won in OT). Sporty, aren’t we just? LOL!

We had good seats on the third base infield side. I could see the players hanging out on the side. Too bad I wasn’t closer! 😉 The day started out cloudy, the sun shone for most of the game. I wore my groovy new A’s jacket anyway and I was okay. Plus I had shorts on!

Good game. Even better for the win.

Doy, the score! 16-1

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ERIK THOMSON! Of course, for him, it’s tomorrow now and his birthday was yesterday. 😉 (He’s in Australia.) Good luck on the Logies!
