Insane Random Ramblings

Yeah I am so happy about that.  I love the Phillies and Ryan Howard in particular. My eyes shine like diamonds every time I watch him play. I wasn’t able to go to the game last night or tonight but I’ll try my best to make it to a game this weekend. The tickets aren’t that expensive but I hate going to games by myself.

This is a holiday weekend so I suspect that it will be really crowded so I can find someone to talk to during the game. But even if I don’t, I’m still trying to go to a game.

But I just couldn’t bring myself to watch it. I only wanted to see Ryan Howard and that’s it. I know that there were a couple of people that would have been pretty cool to see too. I do know that I was one of the few people out there that was rooting against Albert Pujols. Especially since the Derby took place in Saint Louis.

I know that crowd would have been obnoxiously in his corner. I just don’t like him because of 2005. That was the year that the Cards won the World Series but Ryan Howard won the MVP. Well crybaby Albert declared that since his team won the World Series that he shouldn’t have come up #2 in MVP votes, he should have won. Now I’m a Howard Homer so that just rubbed me the wrong way. Especially when everybody screams how great of a guy he is and then he starts whining. Once he saw that he was getting backlash, he backed off of his statement but it was already done in my mind. He’ll always be a jerk to me.

I did see today that Prince Fielder won. As long as it wasn’t El Jerko, I’m happy.

Wow I can’t believe this. The Phillies are leading the Rays 3 games to 1. Ryan Howard unleashed 2 monster home runs. One for 3 run and 1 for 2 runs. Even the pitcher Joe Blanton had a homer! Game 5 is in Philly and Cole Hamels will be on the mound. Things are looking good for the Phils.

I can’t believe I have class tomorrow night and I’ll miss the beginning of the game. I probably won’t get home until the 3rd or 4th inning. Sometimes school sucks!

Go Phillies!!!!!!!!!!!

I know it’s only the first game of the series but it was at home. Ugh, maybe I’m glad I wasn’t able to see the game.

And no, I don’t plan on updating each and every game. I just realized that I hadn’t posted anything today.

Woohoo! Oh wait, that’s not exactly an accomplishment you should celebrate. lolol. He broke Adam Dunn’s record of 195 earlier in the week. Yesterday he set the record at 196. He also hit a 2-run homer yesterday and is a candidate for the NL MVP again this year!

Go Ryan!!!!!!!!!

I haven’t decided yet. I have to see how much money I have in my next check. It’s going to be short because I was sick. I have to take money out of my “fun money” account to make up for that money. Once I see how much money I have left, I’ll decide whether or not I want to go.

The game is at the end of the money in Philly. I would have to pay for a plane ticket as well as the game ticket. I’ll probably call my mom and go home so I don’t need to pay for a hotel.

I really would like to see a game in person this season.

First of all the Steelers won! Did you really have any doubt? They beat the Brownies 34-7. Mike Tomlin wins his first NFL game.

Did you know that the last three Steelers coaches Chuck Noll (1969), Bill Cowher (1992) and Mike Tomlin (2007) all won their coaching debuts?

The Phillies and Yankees also won today. The Phillies beat the Marlins 8-5 and the Yankees beat the Royals 6-3. And as if that wasn’t enough, I got to watch the Phillies play the Marlins yesterday. They also won that game. The Phillies need to keep winning, they were dropping back in the wild card race.

All in all it was a good day for sports. I love days like this.

This is the time of year where I go crazy with baseball. There are about 4 weeks left in the regular season and the wild-card races are heating up.

The Yankees lead the Mariners by 1 game with the Tigers right on their heels in the wild-card race. They only trail Boston by 5 in the east because of their sweep last week.

The Phillies are 2 behind in both the East and the wild-card. But the Dodgers and Braves are right on their heels.

So not only do I have to cheer for my team to win, I have to cheer for a bazillion other teams to lose.

I found this sports-related site written by all women. I swear it seems like there are 20 of them but there are around 6 or 7. The site is informative and well-run.

Anything that pertains to the Steelers or Phillies gets my immediate attention. This article really caught my attention. Hubba Hubba look at those Phils.  Any man in a suit is hot, but a group of guys in suits. Wooo lordy!

Check out the Hump Day Hottie post. There are some mighty fine men on that page! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did and still am!

The Phillies were in town this weekend and I didn’t get to go at all. Friday I was away on vacation. Yesterday I got home but the game was almost over by the time I got off of the plane. Now today, I’m sick so I can’t go sit outside.

Add to the fact that it’s raining and there’s no way I could go watch the game. I was really hoping for a rain out so they would have to make up the game. No such luck. And I wanted to go see Ryan Howard. Pout, pout, pout.
