Moonlit Jazz

Saturday: A’s over the Rangers, 6-3.

And today, the A’s complete the sweep over the Rangers with a 7-5 win. Mark Mulder earned his 18th win of the year. 😀 And the A’s are 3 games up on the Angels for the AL West title. The homestand ended the way the home season began: Mulder taking the win over the Rangers, with Chan Ho Park the losing pitcher.

The Monterey Jazz Festival was nice! The weather was great, the breeze was nicer. We were only there for a few hours during the day, so no telling how the night was. The parking was HORRENDOUS though. We wandered the streets surrounding the fairgrounds before we settled at a faraway spot. Ye gods!

After the Festival, we did the 17 mile drive. Very nice weather. Misty fog, cool cool breezes. Oh, and I always love looking at the houses along the way. Yes indeed. I took pictures…

Playoff tickets go on sale today! Oh wow, in less than an hour!

Friday: A’s over the visiting Texas Rangers, 4-2. They’re in the playoffs for sure!!! 😀 Go boys!

The A’s over the Angels, 5-3. WOOHOO!!! The A’s now lead by a game over the Angels for the Division. I am so HAPPY! I am such an A’s freak right now! LOL!

The A’s over the Angels, 7-4. 😀 Barry Zito got his 22nd win of the season, the most in the American League. Woohoo! Let’s see, we had homeruns from Ellis, Chavez, Dye, and Durham.

Work was all right tonight. When I was out in the halls to drop off the usual paperwork, I saw Dave! 😀 Of course, I had to say hello. It was good to see him and hear about mutual friends. 😉

Last night’s game… After seeing the highlights from last night’s game, I have to say, Mark Mulder was on FIRE! I don’t think I’ve seen him like that before. 12 strikeouts, 5 hits, no walks. He was HOT! But alas, the A’s took the loss. 🙁 Read all about it=> Instant Classic

I had the weirdest dream this morning! First it was a Dark Angel thing. Either I was watching an episode or I was in one, then it turned into an X-Files thing. I got into my convertible (which of course I don’t have in real life) and drove off into San Francisco, only it wasn’t the city because to my left was a beautiful valley. Suddenly I’m in the city, but on a bike and I’m thinking about how I’m going to cross the bridge on my bike when I see my co-worker who lives in Salida and I ask him for a ride across the bridge. And suddenly my labrador is beside me, nudging me with her nose!

That’s what I get for eating breakfast, then taking a nap right after. Geez! LOL!

Monday: A’s over the visiting Anaheim Angels, 4-3.

Tonight: A’s fall to the Angels, 0-1. Grrrrr!

Sunday: A’s fall to the Mariners, 3-6. Blah!

Oh, I had an A’s dream though! 😀 Mike Venafro was videotaping something and I was there for some reason. He was in his white A’s uniform, so I’m thinking I’m on the field. I tell him that I want a copy of whatever he’s filming and he agrees. Then he starts talking to me, telling me he’s talked to Mark Mulder about me and now Mulder wants to call me. I told Venafro to give him my number. (Doy!) While we were talking, Venafro stood very close to me. I guess in the dream he’s a close talker. LOL! And that was the gist of the dream. 😉

Last night’s Odyssey 5 was SAD! 🙁 I wonder if it was the season finale. Twould make sense…
