How Pujols changed the world – a great article by Jayson Stark. A most beautiful way to remember last night’s moment. Very well written. I almost have tears in my eyes. I’m such a sucker for baseball, eh?

I woke up this morning still thinking about it. How could I not? It was one of the most amazing things I’d ever seen. And the way the whole stadium just hushed and the only cheers you heard came from the Cardinals bench. Must have been a bit heartbreaking for them. Hopefully this will be the trigger for the Cardinals. I can’t wait until tomorrow night’s game!!! 😀

I never like being a downer type of person and it’s only baseball and it’s not even my A’s but damnit, the Cardinals are on their way to breaking my heart. Will I not see Mark Mulder pitch one more time this post season? Will he not have the chance to redeem himself?

Top of the 9th, two outs, two men on base. Pujols stands at the plate.

OH MY HOLY GOD!!! Albert Pujols just hit a freakin’ home run!!!

5-4.

Cardinals are up by one.

AMAZING. This is truly utterly unbelievable amazing.

Okay, the glimmer is brightening just a bit…

[ETA] – And they’re heading back to St. Louis!!! Mark Mulder will pitch Wednesday. He will redeem himself. Take it to a game seven boys!!! 😀

I’m finally putting up some of the shots I took this week. (more…)

Molina & Mulder

Alas, dearest Mulder… (more…)

Reaper and Sarge in DOOM

Doom and Stay come out the same day. Even though I’m seeing neither of them on opening day, I still think it’s weird that two movies starring fellas I’ve met are opening on the same exact day. Okay, not so much a coincidence, just my mind at work. Scary.

Ryan Gosling in STAY

During our Sunday stores trip, I bought the novelization for Doom. Karl’s on the cover! (I should take a picture, but I’m lazy.) I bet I read the book before I see the movie. 😆 I will see the movie at the theatre. It’s ever my destiny to watch Karl on the big screen whenever I get the chance. 😉 (more…)

Mulder taking the ball back from LaRussa…

The St. Louis Cardinals are now up 2 games to none against the San Diego Padres. Yeehaw! Mulder had a good game, in spite of the shot to the bicep in the second inning. He’s tough. 😉

Mulder on the mound…

We recorded the game and we’re watching it right now. I hope we keep it for awhile because I’ve got to go to bed! 😆

Tis always a bit of a jolt to see Mulder with a bat in his hand. 😆

Steady Mulder ready for Game 2 start – Good Mulder article with lots of quotes from him…

“You’ve got to be ready for these situations and you’ve got to thrive on it. You want to go out there for the big game. You want to be out there in a big situation. I know I do, and I hope everybody else does.”

A couple of more pictures and other babblings… (more…)
