THIS-OR-THAT TUESDAY
1. TV or radio? TV
2. On the radio: talk or music station? Music!
3. Actual books or books-on-tape (or e-books)? Actual books
4. Actual newspaper, or web version? Web version
5. Wall Street Journal or National Enquirer? Wall Street Journal
6. TV news…news channel such as CNN, or your local broadcast news? CNN
7. A movie you’ve been looking forward to seeing gets bad reviews all around. See it anyway, or pass? See it anyway
8. See movies when they first come out, or wait a few weeks for the lines at the theater to get shorter? Long ago, I saw movies when they first came out. Of course, I got to see them for free. LOL! Nowadays, unless it’s a Star Trek movie, I wait a few weeks…
9. TV: cable, satellite dish, or just plain old antenna? Satellite dish!
10. Thought-provoking question of the week: If you had to choose only one form of media to come into your home, which would you choose…print (newspapers, magazines) or electronic (TV, internet)? Why? I would choose electronic. I’m online all the time! I watch tv all the time. I get my information from tv and the internet (which may or may not be a good thing). Plus I can keep in touch with friends using the internet. It’s quicker…
I had a good birthday yesterday. After the A’s game, we headed out for dinner at Cattlemen’s in Livermore. Mmmm, prime rib! It was good. 😉 Then it was back to the valley for the Modesto A’s against the Inland Empire 66ers. The Lil A’s won, 6-2. 😀
For my birthday, I got the season one set of Xena. Woohoo! And the doggies got me the American Idol 2 Classic Love Songs CD. Aww, how sweet! 😀
In New York, the A’s over the Yankees, 2-0. 😉
And today was lunch with my pinsans. We had lunch in Pleasanton. It was nice!…
Strike to Raul Mondesi. Ball. One ball, one strike… Foul ball. One ball, two strikes… Two balls, two strikes… Different guy catching… “Mondesi lashing one foul!” Mark Johnson catches the foul ball behind. Groovay! One out.
Strike one to Todd Zeile… Ball. One ball, one strike… Foul ball. One ball, two strikes… Check swing. Two balls, two strikes… Foul ball. Same count… Strike three called! Two outs.
Strike one to Alfonso Soriano… Swing and miss! Two strikes… One strike away from a win in the Bronx… Grounder to Chavez, bad throw to Hatteberg. Crap!!!
I hate nailbiter games. Grrr!!!
Ball one to Nick Johnson… Strike one. One ball, one strike… Get this guy out!!!… Foul ball. One ball, two strikes. One strike away. Again… Here goes his 48th pitch. Foul ball… GET THIS GUY OUT!!!… Chris Singleton makes the catch and the A’s win!!!
Bewdy! 😀
A’s over the Yankees, 5-3. Hey, on May (5) 3rd. Hmm, my birthday! 😀 Happy birthday to me!!!
Top of the 10th. I really hope the A’s score and win this game. Score!!!
Hatteberg takes a strike… Base hit and he gets a double out it. Way to go! 😀
Chavez just hit a two run homer. What a shot! 😀 I love these guys. Left center shot. Yeah baby!
Miggie’s up.
Nothing better than a quiet Yankee Stadium crowd. Oh yes…
Tejada flies out.
Durazo’s up. Ball one… Fair ball in the left corner, double for Durazo. Groovay!
Hmm, the crowd is booing. They’re so vocal. LOL
Ron Gant is pinch hitting for Ramon. I hope he’s okay! 🙁
One ball, one strike for Gant… One ball, two strikes. Swing and miss. Two outs.
Terrence Long is up. Ball one… Ball two… Ball gets away from Posada and Durazo goes to third! 😀 They meant to intentionally walk Long, which they’ve now done. 😉
Byrnse fouls out. Rats!
On to the bottom of the 10th.
Bottom of the ninth. Yes, it’s my birthday and I’m online and watching the A’s on tv. Keith Foulke is on the mound to close out the game. Let’s see how it goes…
First up is Nick Johnson. Strike one… Ball one… Foul ball, one ball, two strikes… Hey, there’s Zito… Fair ball to the left field corner. RATS!!!
Crap, Jason Giambi is up now. Once, so very long ago it seems, I really adored this man. Now he’s a damn Yankee. It still irks me… Ball one… Strike one. One ball, one strike… This Foulke guy is so low-key… Oh, they just showed Mulder!… Ball two. Two and one… Ball three. Three and one… Home run.
I hate the Yankees. Huddy is hitting the showers. What a f****** wasted effort. Damn!!!
This is Giambi’s first homer in Yankee Stadium this year.
Bernie Williams is up. No outs… One ball, one strike… One ball, two strikes… Please, no more replays of Jason’s homer… Pop up, Ellis catches it… One out.
Why do they always do this to Hudson? This is so wrong. This always happens to him!!!
Matsui is up. Strike one… One ball, one strike… Two balls, one strike… Two balls, two strikes… Swing and a miss! Two outs.
He hit Posada. Crap! And Ramon’s hand! What the hell?! For goodness’ sakes… Ramon looks a bit pained. Crap and double crap!!!
Let’s see, who’s up now. Enrique Wilson. Swing and a miss. No balls, one strike… Foul bunt. No balls, two strikes… Nothing harder on a closer than a blown save, eh? Yeah… Stop showing Giambi… Still fouling balls… Pop up to Mark Ellis.
End of the ninth. We’re tied at 3…
