Feh. We lost tonight 7-6. Which wouldn't annoy except defensive lapses gave away about three runs which would've been enough to win.
On the plus side some of my bottom-of-the-order hitters had their best games ever with three of them reaching the outfield for the first time all season.
On the minus side, Emmett had a whiny and negative attitude including these classics: "I don't want to warm up the pitcher" and "I hate playing shortstop."
Fuck you! I'm the Manager! Quit being a whiny bitch and take your position!
...is what I thought.
What I said was, "I need you to have a positive attitude and quit being so negative. Now go warm up Nicky."
On the plus side, Emmett pitched beautifully.
On the downside, Arabelle hit a screaming liner that was caught for an out and she cried her little heart out. (Because her big sister came to the game and brought all her Australian friends and Arabelle really really really wanted that hit.)
On the plus side, we got somebody out in a rundown between second and third.
On the downside, this team has beaten us twice and it pisses me off because I know we're a better team. But we haven't played close to our best against them.
Sorry about the game, Hec.
Aww. Poor Arabelle. My dad came up once for my cousin's twins' football game. One of them got benched for back talking his dad instead of having his head in the game, and you could see his little shoulders just shaking under his helmet from crying so hard. Benched in front of his hero. Awful.
To his credit, Dad went over and quietly patted him on the shoulder and gave it a squeeze.
Yay, sj!

There's no crying in baseball.
For when you have a lot of cubics that need to be frozen.
Do you compact the cubics into 10 cubic feet so you can get them into the freezer?
I am comforting myself about no longer being in San Francisco by setting a farewatch for DFW to SFO.

From Slashdot:
"The US Food and Drug Administration is considering redefining 'chocolate' to allow substitution of vegetable oil ($0.70/lb.) for cocoa butter ($2.30/lb.), and whey protein for dry whole milk. There are already standard terms to differentiate these products from chocolate, such as 'chocolatey' and 'chocolate-flavored.' The change was requested by the industry group Chocolate Manufacturers of America. Leading the resistance to this change is high-end chocolate maker Guittard, with significant grass-roots support from the Candyblog. The FDA is taking consumer comments until April 25. Here is the FDA page on the proposed change, which oddly enough does not say what the proposed change is."
Not sure how I feel about that. Hmmm.
