Beach House...

It seems that the beach is NOT recession proof. I don't think I've seen Bethany Beach this deserted since we started coming here. It's also the coolest (temp wise) as well. Low 80s. but really, when you've got a pool, an ocean, and a cold brew nearby, who cares?!

It's Official: I Love Baseball!

Attended the Nats vs. Cards game tonight. It was a cool evening. Of course, the stadium was only about half full (DC is NOT a baseball town) so just sitting in the stands. walking the concourse. watching the game. I just love the whole experience! There's nothing like a baseball crowd.
More fun to come this weekend! We'll be going to the Sat & Sun games.
Friday night is for the newly doctored....Mark Z! Congrats man.

The 'stache is Cashed!

Thank goodness Rick shaved off that ridiculous mustache! I can watch him at bat now and not giggle. (Well, not that we was doing so hot at bat lately...but he has started to show some spark!)

Rick Ankiel??!!??!!

So today, I rush home from work because Cards vs Cubs...classic baseball! You can't pass this stuff up people if you like baseball at all - regardless of whatever team you are rooting for.

Let's start with what we already know....
Albert...El Hombre....typical season start - and for those keeping score the bling is just as big as ever.

Yadi...still just as impressive behind the plate - his throw to second base is so dead on its like magic watching him in action.

Ludwick....shocked! 2 homeruns at Wrigley! I've got my eye on you....

CARP....oh my! I have said this all along - everyone's cards should not be riding on one pitcher for the entire season!!! (no pun intended) Get WELL dude!

OK - now some quick observations...
Duncan - I believe I have said this before...while I realize you do make the occasional great play....I think a quick review of some of the basic rules in base running are in order.....for instance today....I'm not sure if you recall but Soriano does have a good arm and will throw you out when you're not paying attention!!

Greene - I realize being the new guy and all - and everyone makes mistakes - relax dude - no fancy plays - just scoop the ball and throw to first - that's all I ask.

RICK ANKIEL - where the hell are you? enough said!!!

Get Well Soon Carp!

man, my heart sank when I saw that look on Carp's face.
Then Yadi's look.
and TLR.

I'm sending some healthy mojo your way dude.
I love watching you pitch like a rock star!

Saturday game...

.....blackout on MLB Extra Innings...so no STL game for me today! I did get the winning score 11-2.
woo hoo!

It's Still Early in the Season

and I haven't found out the winning combination yet. Despite wearing the Red Velvet Lounge Pants last night, we lost. I'm wearing mostly green today, along with my green St.Patty's Day Spring Training cap.

and I read today in the Post that Yadi has the lowest batting average in March/April in all of the majors. Huh? What about half the roster of the Washington Nationals? (not to diss the hometown team) I need to read how they're qualifying that!

How about stl boy David Freese? GREAT first outing I would say!

Poor Anissa

She's stuck in Chicago working this week. which means the only baseball she gets to see is arch rival baseball.
