when pumpkins drink

spain

i'm now taking applications for a travel buddy to my 10-year mission reunion in madrid, spain. don't miss out! 'ole!

ding dong

i'm not sure what sound a cowbell makes, but ding dong is as close as i can come. i'm on the rays' bandwagon...blue mohawks, cowbells and all. my reasons:

1. i hate the phillies...especially victorino.
2. i'm all about the underdog.
3. i dug matt garza's press conference (and his attitude) when he discussed his convo on the mound with his manager, joe maddon. check it out: http://sports.espn.go.com/broadband/video/videopage?videoId=3652925
4. i love maddon's glasses and that he looks like gene hackman.
5. i think it's rad that their entire starting pitching staff is under 26 years old.
6. i hate the phillies...especially victorino, again.

so, go rays!

and there it goes

our excitement over the dodgers post season was short lived. they lost to philli last night after a 4-1 series. so sad. but, greg maddux did get to pitch for an inning and two-thirds, which was fantastic (no thanks to furcal who had 3 errors, which led to 2 runs in the inning). eventhough it's over, i still bleed blue and can't wait for next year. don't worry: when frank mccourt calls and asks me what to do with manny i'm going to tell him to keep him in LA!

until next spring. . .

LAD 3, CHC 1

the boys in blue pulled out a broom and swept the cubs for a first class ticket to the NLCS! next stop: philli.

LAD 10, CHC 3

game 2. check.

LAD 7, CHC 2

thanks to manny and co, we're one up on chicago. i feel a little torn, because i am a cubs fan too, but loney's grand salami was beautiful to watch. maddux even closed the game. as the slogan says: i live for this! go dodgers!
