First off I have to say I am grateful, seriously grateful, to have a PVR. I recorded the game because I was in the middle of... well whatever does not really matter, and then I actually sat down to watch it... so there was what like 1 hour of ball and 3 hours of commercials. I would have fallen asleep too ALH, even without a sinus headache.

All in all stellar pitching to start off. Good game. What I enjoyed the absolute most was watching the camaraderie between the players. There was a lot of chatting in the dugout, on bases, between catchers and pitchers. It is good to see a community of athletes come together, shoot the shit and enjoy themselves.

I am always happy to listen to the stats, but I have to admit my mind was on 100 different tasks and I did not take the time to sit and enjoy myself as much as in other years.

Ahhhh well. Maybe there will be a game on Sunday I can lay down and watch. I will have tired dogs from dancing Saturday and a social bone that will be sprained. But my couch loves me and she will always open her cushions wide and let me in. <that almost sounds dirty>

Yup- I like that camaraderie stuff too! In all sports- when you can see players digging what they are doing. The AS game was pitching all the way- makes sense when I think about how many great ones there are playing these days.

I have to take some time off baseball to watch the women's soccer this sunday- there is some good stuff with Team USA going on!!

Ah, the couch after dancing!

It is the top of the 2nd with SF 2-0 against SD at the moment. Whoa, Tim Lincecum just got a single- not a very good hitter- even less so than most pitchers. Maybe my guys are getting into a hitting round- last night, 4 of 6 runs for SF were based upon walks and a couple of SD errors. Ross just hit a homer.... kewl!

OK, I have to walk my dog and put in ear plugs and listen to the game with a happy pooch! But it has been windy and foggy again- just plain cold.. argh! My arthritic joints get really cranky when it is like this.
