Moonlit Jazz

The Cardinals are in Arizona tonight and the game is on DirecTV, of course. 😉 The broadcasters were talking about the athletes on the team and mentioned Mark Mulder. Then they showed him and said that he would be pitching tomorrow against the Giants in his return to the Bay Area. I have I told you all that I’m going to be there? I’M GOING TO BE THERE!!! 😆

Oh, and I just had to take shots of the tv. Sucker, eh?

Oh yeah, and the A’s dropped their series against Toronto. DARN IT! (more…)

Woohoo!!! They won! We were listening to the game on the way home and it was an up and down listen. Ye gods! And then we got home and the game wasn’t on tv. Sadness! But I saw highlights later on ESPN. Yah!

Little mention about rugby… (more…)

We’re back from our long weekend! I was extra lazy when we came home and just lazed about. Baseball, rugby— sports watching at its best. 😉

And how was our weekend? Well, check out more pictures I took… (more…)

Just two games from .500. Sweetness! And seven wins in a row. Goodness! 😀

The A’s are on right now (’tis 5-2 in the bottom of the 5th, A’s leading). Oh, the inning is over now…

I just wanted to show off some quick screenshots I did after the Cardinals game ended. (They won, in case anyone is wondering.) Mulder did a “Got Milk” photo shoot earlier today. So cute!

He’s talking milk…

Do you think we’ll get to see the print ad out here?

Milk does Mulder good…

I bet milk helped Mulder get so tall…

Mulder’s got milk…

I’m lucky to have the baseball package on DirecTV, eh? 😉

The A’s are still on, bottom of the 6th. Dan Johnson got a leadoff walk. Groovy…
