in a computer lab at UW-Madison writing a paper, and watched the last couple innings on ESPN Gamecast. When the last pitch came into Rickie, the “Incoming pitch has been hit in play” status was on the screen for a good 15 seconds. Staring at those words, stewing on Weeks’ Cobb-esque .190 batting average, all I could think was “Popup. Popup. A goddamn Popup.” When those little yellow dots at second and third came in to score, three other people in the computer lab simultaneously reacted the same way I did: muted elation and disbelief. I talked to one of them, and the first thing he said was “I thought it was going to be a popup for sure.”

Thank you, Rickie Darnell Weeks Jr., for proving us wrong, and validating my procrastination…

Go Crew.

I’m sitting. . . . in Utah watching via the Xtra Innings pkg.
Or, I was.
Pent-up frustration over the last FULL week finally exploded when that slow, lazy curveball to Wellemeyer was stroked into RF for a hit, and then the count went to 3-0 on Izturis.
I had had enough.
I wanted to blast somebody. . . . bad.

Truth be told, I couldn’t have watched Weeks AB anyway.
I think I saved a good 2 years on my lifespan by not watching tonite.

For at least a few more hours, I don’t have to listen to you people bash him :)

it was packed there last night, and some cardinal fan tried to pick a fight with me because i had my old robin yount jersey on. He was saying some words about 82’ and being in first place. I just looked at him smiled and reminded him theres 120 games left.
