I don’t know why, but the fact that Mulder was the starting pitcher today did not give me the same kind of confidence for a win as it has in the past. It makes me mad! Mulder is still looking horrible on the mound.
Doesn’t stop me from taking screenshots, of course.
But that’s beside the point! What’s Mulder’s problem? He’s ineffective. And I ADORE him. So it hurts to think that he’s not doing well. It hurts even more to witness. It’s frustrating.
Mulder, Harden, Hudson, Mulder
I still managed to take some nice shots though, eh? One of the only good things about watching their loss.
ALAS!!!
The Moneyball book is pretty interesting. I’m on the Scott Hatteberg chapter. I can already tell that I’m going to have to re-read this book. I’m skimming too much on the non-A’s stuff. (Yes, I’m skimming a little!)
Awhile back, I received an email from a young Ryan fan who thought I was Ryan. Usually I just discard those emails, but for some reason I replied to this young fan. She ended up being TEN (hello, where are her parents?!) and she asked me if I was going to stop talking to her because she’s young. Well, I didn’t want to be rude or anything, so I continued the email exchange. But man, ever since I found out how old she was, I’ve felt a little uncomfortable emailing with her. It’s just WEIRD. I think I wouldn’t want my ten year old chatting with an adult. It feels like a trap. Like this would be a good way for cops to trap perverts. Know what I mean?
For example, should a ten year old girl ask if I think Ryan is “hot?” Would I really go on and on about how “hot” I think Ryan is to a ten year old?! Umm, no. (Besides, Ryan was never “hot” to me anyway. He’s cute and overwhelmingly talented, but not what I would consider “hot.”) The whole thing is just weird. And again, where the hell are her parents?
:: sigh :: Why did my A’s have to lose?

They lost. Alas!!!
I started reading Moneyball. I almost started reading the latest Harry Potter book. I even had it in my hand, but I was in a baseball mood, so I went back to the book shelf and pulled out Moneyball. Groovay.
Alternative Lifestyle…
The two magazines I bought yesterday were Advocate and Out. I bought them because of my fella, William Gregory Lee. (Do you know I have the audacity to call him “my actor friend?” LOL!)
From Out:
No, he doesn’t go by “William.” Trust me.
From Advocate:
Greg plays Ambrosius in the mini-series Dante’s Cove. They want to call the mini-series “the gay Buffy.” Groovy!
Aside from my personal eye candy, there are actually some interesting articles in both magazines. You really don’t have to be gay to read them, just open to different things. 😉
Ah, and since magazines are mentioning Dante’s Cove, I’ve lifted the password protection on the Dante’s Cove page I have at my Greg site. I hope no one minds! 😛

I’m working on the pictures from last Sunday’s bridal shower. My fellow bridesmaids are at this very moment in Las Vegas. I hope they take lots of pictures. What are the chances? LOL! Bummer I couldn’t go. Oh well. I’ll be there in two weeks. Ye gods!
Work was hectic today! Fridays aren’t supposed to be hectic, darn it! Blah. 😛
I bought two alternative lifestyle magazines today. Both have tiny articles (and some very nice pictures) of Dante’s Cove, William Gregory Lee’s upcoming mini-series set to debut on HereTV. The pictures are juicy! LOL! I hope I can watch the series. It might be a pay per view kind of thing…

I was “watching” this game at work online. Dotel was a STRIKE away from getting the save and handing Hudson the win. But NOOOOO, Dotel decided he’d go ahead and give up the game ending double. GRRRRR!!!
Hey, Bobby hit a homerun. I was happy when I saw that. Go Bobby! 😀

The New TV Season…
LOST – First off, I must admit that I didn’t want to watch this show. ABC has this way of hooking you onto shows then snatching them back and releasing them into oblivion. (Examples: Veritas and Miracles) Of course, other networks do the same (FOX: Dark Angel, John Doe, etc.). But the husband wanted to watch Lost and I read a decent review, so I gave it a shot. Intriguing show. I’m a little hooked right now. I want to see more. I must see more!!! 😀
JOEY – I watched the first ep, laughed, then forgot to watch the second one. Ah well. I’m sure it won’t miss me.
HAWAII – I saw the first and second (or 3rd?) eps, but haven’t seen any after that. I liked it though. Slick, funny, action, and humor. Yah!
CSI: NY – The pilot was SLOW. Gloomy. Bleak. We’re giving it one more episode. It will be a shame if I don’t continue to watch it. I just love Melina Kanakaredes.
MEDICAL INVESTIGATION – I didn’t watch the pilot, but what I’ve seen has been good. I like the actors (especially McDonough and Gorham), so I’ll be watching this one. 😉
Old shows coming back…
CSI:MIAMI – I’m so sad about Speed. WHY?! Well, I know why, but it was sad. So fast, so sad… SURVIVOR: VANUATU – I’m watching it no matter what. I hope one of the cute guys lasts. LOL!… CSI – Just less than an hour before show starts. Woohoo!… LAS VEGAS – I just love this show. It’s on the TiVo right now…
And that’s me watching too much tv. LOL!

AP Photo: Mulder on the mound…
What can I say? Mulder is KILLING me. Breaking my heart. I suppose I should be happy that I didn’t get the chance to actually witness the loss on television. The local channel wasn’t showing the game.
In the rear view mirror on Sunday dusk…
You shouldn’t take pictures while you’re driving, but I couldn’t resist…
