Damon is a good guy
Apr 7 LF Johnny Damon had an interesting explanation for why he didn’t offer up more of an argument after a fan kept him from catching an Orioles’ home run Monday. Damon, who didn’t gripe about switching from his long-time leadoff spot to the No. 2 role, basically believes there’s no crying in baseball — because he doesn’t want to hear any at home. “I was hoping they would at least look at it,” Damon said of the umpires reviewing the play. “I guess I would have to just throw a hissy fit, and I don’t condone hissy fits. I don’t want my daughter to see that and think it’s OK to do that at home.”
And that is why I like Damon. I was sooooo mad too!
Angels vs Yankees
8-8-08 (Day of the Olympics which I haven’t watched the opening of)
Is pretty pointless. It’s a sea of red out there.
The highlight was just being able to be close to them and think “wow…they are really here.”
This is a crop. I was taking a picture of who I thought was a-rod, zoomed in at 5x, but I think it was actually Betemit. Good thing he was at the very right of my picture and my picture size was at 8 megapixels or this would have been a tiny tiny blur.
He was warming up, and I wasn’t really allowed down there. He started walking toward the people hanging out right next to the field. You could feel the tension and excitement as he got closer, and closer…and this lady next to me practically had a heart attack. She was like “aahhHhHh!” before she caught herself and realized that she wasn’t just screaming in her head. And then, to make matters worse, he took off his helmet and flashed a smile. Game over. My camera was out. (and taking the wrong picture but I don’t really want to talk about that anymore).
It’s my Damon! He looks hug-able right? Like a comforting uncle or something. He’s so-so for fantasy baseball but I like him anyway.
“Hey guys, don’t fall asleep!”
“Hey, do you want to trade places with me?”
Whoa lots of people
Jeter was booed pretty badly. Louder than A-rod, except with Mr. Rodriguez, you also got throngs of high pitched shrieks from the ladies.
This is an action shot, although he didn’t get much action.
At least the fireworks are good. They chose Beach Boys music this night.
I didn’t have a tripod. I used my leg.
The fireworks went on for about….7-10 minutes?
Sparkly!
Sneak peek at my week
I don’t have much time right now because I have to get ready to head out and being a girl I have to get ready. Here is a quick look at things I did this week.
- Decided that lecture<discussion since I can barely understand the professor and he’s just teaching out of the book
- Reading the Twilight saga and I am officially only interested in mysteriously broody, charming, mind-reading vampires. Teeeeeeeam Edward!! Drooooolz
- Went to an Angels vs. Yankees game this Friday. Only highlight was listening to the females swoon over A-rod as he took off his helmet and walked towards the crowd to greet fans with a huge smile. I also got to see him hit a home run during the game with my own eyes! @_@ <–these eyes.
Embarrassingly enough, the picture I took that I thought was A-rod was of someone else. Hey, it’s hard to target someone at 5x zoom. At least he was at the edge of my picture -__-”.
