Well how about that...

Shit, the more I think about that fucking umpire, the angrier I get. How dare he insert himself into the game like that on such a bullshit call. Dammit.

What a bullshit call... and what a beautiful home run! I kinda hate that the umpire has made me care about this game.

Sheryl Crow released an album recently that she said was her last. In an interview with NPR about it, she said she's not retiring, she's just going to release songs, no more album, because people don't buy or listen to music that way anymore. This makes me sad.

His name is really DC Washington and he's been singing the anthem here for about forever at all the venues for all the teams. I like him. As far as Suzuki... I've been to one Nats game this year because my bro was here from Italy and he hadn't been to the stadium yet. So ... I don't know the answer to that.

Good choice - the play and the day. We're seeing Dave Bromberg and Bettye LaVette and they're only here on Saturday. So here's hoping for a game on Sunday!

I really hope the Astros win at least one game because I'm going to a concert Saturday night and I'd hate to miss the last game of the season. Poor planning on my part, I guess, but who coulda known.

I have about 30 watches (I love watches!). I just reset them whenever I wear them the first time after a time change. I do wish we would just settle on a time and stick with it. My peeve, I guess, is that it's about time for my annual watch battery change. It's kinda a PITA.

I rarely get home from work before 8pm, but I thought I'd try tonight so I could see opening ceremonies. Well, that didn't work out so I was listening on the radio while driving home. And I'm so glad because Charlie and Dave are so happy and excited about being there that I actually cried a little - which isn't good while one is driving. I really love Charlie and Dave. Question - can we always hear Max grunting on the air, or has Fox just upped the mic levels? Because we really don't need to hear that. Fox...blech.

It's actually the airport code for Layang-Layang China. La Crosse is LSE (and I only did this because I hang out with a bunch of peeps who fly often and are obsessed with airport codes...)

Beautiful Truck (thank goodness it's something I can look up at work...)

Indeed. Face value tickets here are $375 for standing room and $545 for upper deck outfield corners. I was not sorry I did not get a lottery pick since I wouldn't have bought them anyway (especially since I'm not really fond of Nats Park). I love my couch!

It was WEA (938)-1212 for weather and TII (844)-1212 here. Clever, huh... I'm tempted to dial them up to see if they still work, but I think I'll pass just in case those are real phone numbers and I piss someone off.

Hellava game, really. Congrats @kariyaki!! Sorry about that to all the wonderful Yankee fans here. (And I actually mean that.) It was a good series.

No need to slink - I posted and then wondered if it was actually Joe (Buck), so then Googled. And was kinda relieved to see I was (almost) right... 😄

The Google machine says Joe Davis. So I'm just going with "I knew that..." 🙂 I'm still peeved.

Seriously Joe? The Yankees fall behind 3-1? Shouldn't that be the Astros take the lead 3-1? Yikes...

OMG, how is this even possible? I'm not sure how I really feel about this... but for the moment, yay Nats!

Thanks!! And the Mark as Read confirm box is not popping up in the topic.

I only mark forums as read after I've finished reading the topics in it that interest me. I've never tried marking a topic as read, so I just went into a topic I don't care about and I don't even see how to do that...

Thanks. It came back yesterday, so all is well...at the moment 🙂

Honestly, it looks like the Cards don't want to play. Last night, too. Mr. ebk keeps saying they're sleepwalking through these games.

Are we sure these are the Washington DC Nationals and not the Washington Somewhere Else Nationals? This is rather amazing.

It only felt like 5 hours... Nice win Astros!

It did when I was there 15 years ago. Obviously, we'll wait for @kariyaki to weigh in though.
