I don’t know why this made me laugh. Maybe it has to do with a comment made at work today. Anyway, a Mulderism:
Quotable: “It’s not as a bad of a place as people think. You get so loose, and you’re sweating, and it’s not a bad thing.” — Mark Mulder on pitching in the heat at The Ballpark at Arlington

I’m really diggin’ my revamp. I love the way the montage looks! LOL…
We headed out to the Bay Area, specifically San Mateo, for the Antiques and Collectibles Show at the Expo Center. We spent a bit. 😛 Such consumers we are. But hey, I got my Kevin Smith Tribute set. We also got two autograph cards (James Cameron and Miranda Otto), some 8×10 photos (remember that show Roar?), and cards. The show was cool, but apparently smaller than previous years. So much stuff though!
Since we were out there, we also took a bit of a turn to Vallco Fashion Mall in Cupertino. I bought two more charms for my already filled Italian charm bracelet. Hmm, time to start my second one? I saw a framed, Mark Mulder autographed picture, as well as a Tim Hudson one. When was Huddy number 52? Must have been his early days. 😉
We also took a look at Fry’s. I wanted that Plantronics bluetooth headset for my mobile phone. I just “paired” them up and it rocks! I can just press the talk button on the headset and I can make a call if it’s on my voice dial list. We’ll see how it all sounds when I’m on the road at night…
A’s over the Giants 6-5. Series to the A’s. 😉 Zito is on the mound tomorrow. I can’t remember the last time I watched him pitch. Hmmm…
I’ve slightly revamped here. That’s a new montage up there featuring me with my various fellows: Mark Mulder, Barry Zito, William Gregory Lee, Karl Urban, Ryan Gosling (as well as Dean O’Gorman and Joel Tobeck). With the exception of the Zito man, all pictures click to fansites of various degrees created by me! 😉 The me and Zito picture leads to the official A’s site since I don’t have a Zito site… I’ve also added a few pictures to the “about me” iframe on the left. I’m just feeling a bit creative, eh? 😀
I’ve also added a “blogs of note” section of links. It’s easier for me to check on my fellow bloggers. Most of them are baseball fans, if you check them out. 😉
Ahh, the Bay Bridge series. Here’s a nice Mychael Urban article to read: Bay rivalry all in the stands
And my take on the A’s vs. Giants thing: Well, I’m an A’s fan through and through. A long time ago, I was a bit of a Giants fan as well. But the A’s have always had my heart since I’ve started watching baseball. I don’t hate the Giants, but I don’t root for them either, unless they’re playing the Dodgers or something. And I don’t really pay too much attention to the team. Granted, I LOVE Pac Bell Park. It’s a beautiful ball park and I love watching games there. But I don’t really care one way or the other for the Giants. Sorry, just me! 😛 I’ve got co-workers who are Giants fans and I’ve gotten them to be nice to me about the A’s, so I have to return the favor in regards to their Giants.
I hate only one team, though I’ve said I respect their place in baseball history. And I do. But I still hate them. Can you guess? That’s right, the New York Yankees. Grrr! It all started with my once beloved Jason Giambi selling out for the pinstripes. They turned a wickedly fiery young man into a smarmy guy. I don’t think I’ll ever forgive them. Or him.
