Slam. Slam. Slam.

That's the sound of me hitting my heading against a wall.

Last night, I settled in to watch he Giants play the Marlins.. After giving up a four-run first inning, and then muffing an easy out at first, I decided that I was going to bed (I was very tired from work) and miss the inevitable slaughter. Get up this morning, pull up the SFGate, and..

San Francisco Giants: 12
Florida Marlins: 9

What happened right after I turned the TV off? Well, the Giants fell behind 9-2. Then we came to bat.

Brian Dallimore, a 30 year old rookie in his first major league at bat after nine years in the minors, hits a grand slam. The fifth major-leaguer since 1974 to hit a slam for his first hit. Bobby Bonds was another. Marquis Grissom had four singles and Pedro Feliz drove in three runs. The Giants had 16 hits.

This wackiness comes a day after an Oakland Tribune article claimed that newly-acquired catcher A.J. Pierzynski. (We call him D.P Pierzynski, since he seems to enjoy hitting into double plays so much) is a cancer in the clubhouse, with the work ethic of a drunken slug. He didn't play yesterday, but that, and a meeting run by Bonds on the Giants' hitting woes seem to have made a difference.

I, of course, slept through it all. :)

It's meme time!

Instructions:
On your current playlist, hit shuffle and pick the first twenty songs on the list (no matter how cheesy or embarrassing), and write down your favorite line of the song. Try to avoid putting the song title in the line. Then, have your friends comment and see if they know the songs.

( Some fo these are easy, some are obscure. Have fun! )

Of course, the 21st song to come up would probably have stumped everyone but isomeme. Does anyone else even remember the APP's weirder albums?

I did skip a few songs, simply because they were too damn obscure (Like Ryan Hopeck's Tribal Council) and I got several Metallica songs in a row.

Too true

From The Onion:

Cancer: (June 22 - July 22)
You may say there's nothing wrong with you that a week in the Bahamas won't cure, but the stars recommend you get the chemotherapy.

A full day of sporting fun!

Along with beginning the long threatened promised cleaning of the apartment (We struck floor! Wow, we have a carpet!) We took the time for two great sports events.

First up was the second game in the Giants - Marlins series.

San Francisco Giants: 6
Florida Marlins: 3

Hey! Two wins in a row! Two great outings by starting pitchers! A.J. Pierzynski keeps hitting! We come back to win against the World Series Champions for the second time! This could be the start of something good.

After yelling my head off at the TV, we got to do it in person at the SaberCats' game.

San Jose SaberCats: 68
New Orleans Voodoo: 34

I had never been to an Arena Football League game before, and I must say I had a blast! The smaller field and stadium means you are a lot closer to the action, and the game presentation combines the best aspects of football and a rock concert. We will go back again.
