Moonlit Jazz

Tim Hudson left the game with a 5-1 lead and somehow the A’s bullpen BLEW IT AGAIN for him. Specifically (and I don’t want to be mean) it was Keith (I’m an All Star) Foulke. GRRR! He’s disappointed, Huddy’s surely disappointed, and I’m just MAD! I know, fangirl me doesn’t count, but damnit! What the hell does Hudson have to do to win a freakin’ game?! He was UP, for goodness’ sakes, 5 to freakin’ 1. To be fair to Foulke (grrr!), Chad Bradford did give up a homerun in the 8th. BUT STILL!

Enough of that, I’m just glad they won. I’m sad that Hudson didn’t get a win. Blah!

Yes, four of my boys are going to the All Star Game! I’m happiest for Mark Mulder of course. Love love love him! I’m happy happy for Ramon Hernandez. Go boy! And I’m a little surprised about Barry Zito and Keith Foulke. Actually, the Zito pick was the one that furrowed my brow. Hmmm. But I am so very happy for all of them! Yes, even Foulke. 😛

Now, the important task is still ahead for the fans. VOTE FOR ERIC BYRNES as the final member of the AL ALL STAR TEAM! Read about him, then vote! VOTE!

Tomorrow, more baseball for me! This time it’s Pacific Bell Park for the San Francisco Giants and St. Louis Cardinals. Go Cards! And thank you for being the reason I don’t have to be at work tomorrow. I think it’s going to be busy. Too bad for them! LOL!

You are Chad Zerbe. You’re a good kid, nice,
friendly. Heck, you even know how to pitch, and
you’d get to show that off if it wasn’t for
your extreme crappiness at the beginning of the
year. Now, you sit in the background hoping for
a job where the pressure is light and the boss
thinks you won’t screw up too much. Maybe you’ll
earn back their respect, but when they have
guys like Joe Nathan available, why bother with
a dependable guy like you?

Which member of the worthless Giants bullpen are you?

I was reading Steph’s blog and saw the quiz she got from reading Lauren’s site, which she discovered through Jen’s blog. Whew!

Now, who’s Chad Zerbe? LOL! (Checking the Giants site…) Oh, okay. He’s a Taurus like me. Wait, he’s got the same birthday as Erik Thomson! What are the freakin’ chances? Hmmm. Weird…

Blah!

Spent the day in Livermore eating lots of meat. We had beef, pork, and lamb. Yowsa! I could never ever be a vegetarian, I must say. It was all good! I walked around in the pool for a bit too, which was nice…

Would you like to sneak a peek at my first ever fanlisting? The Erik Thomson Fanlisting I haven’t officially announced it yet. I think I still need to fill some stuff out at The Fanlistings site. My Erik site is next on the re-vamp list. It’s coming along very slowly. 😛

Mulder pitched brillantly, but the A’s just couldn’t score. GRRRRRR!

Happy 4th, by the way. 😉

1. What were your favorite childhood stories?
The fairy tales: Cinderella, Snow White, etc.

2. What books from your childhood would you like to share with [your] children?
Charlotte’s Web, for sure, even though it’s both sad and hopeful. And all the fairy tales!

3. Have you re-read any of those childhood stories and been surprised by anything?
Not recently.

4. How old were you when you first learned to read?
I can’t remember a time when I couldn’t read, so I’ll have to say 1st or 2nd grade.

5. Do you remember the first ‘grown-up’ book you read? How old were you?
“Sarah’s Child” by Linda Howard. My first adult romance. I had read a lot of teen romances before that, but “Sarah’s Child” was my first romance. Maybe that’s why it’s still my favorite…

Yeehaw, a win for the A’s and Zito. 😀 Tomorrow, Mulder takes the mound. Can’t wait!

How sucky! What the hell was going on at that game?! Grrr!

But really, I do still love them.
