I, also, am a playoff fan for baseball and football. Though the liklihood of keeping up with football during the regular season is far greater due to them only playing once a week. And this season, it is FUN to watch the Patriots.

But I can't watch the regular baseball season- far too time consuming and much less interesting. Post season play is really interesting, I think- and last night's game was a textbook nail-biter with a happy ending! (for me)

Sorry you had the obnoxious BoSox fans, juliana. They are why I watch games at home.

My sister sent me this link for cakes from Dean and Deluca: [link]

The most expensive cakes ever, but fun to look at.

My DH tries not to watch sports, but he seems to follow his teams (any team from Dallas and/or Texas) pretty closely.

I'm mostly not a sports person at all, but baseball involves so many weird twisty little narratives and has so little scary bone-cracking violence that I find it pretty tolerable. Plus, many of our local players are very cute, and, it appears from interviews, are also sweet boys who like dogs and dote on various elderly female relatives.

Our local teams have been kinda sucktastic over the last couple of years, but if I've learned nothing else from the Red Sox, I have at least learned that fandom counts for less if you're not willing to be a fan during the lean years.

ICompletelyON, eeps. That job I interviewed for a couple of months ago and really desperately wanted, and got rejected from just as I was being wooed by the company I had a bad feeling about? The recruiter who got me that interview just called to ask if I would still be willing to consider that place. She was all cryptic and nonspecific and details-later-under-other-circumstances, but HELLS YES. Now I just have to sit and wait and stew. Mmmmrph!

The Cowboys game yesterday was fun. That blocked field goal run back for a touchdown? Happened right in front of me. There was a pretty lively crowd yesterday.

SQUEE!!!! \\o/

In news of baseball cuteness, I bring you this picture of Manny Ramirez and his BEAUTIFUL family: [link]

Look at that beautiful chubby baby! He's like a mini-Manny!

That's a whole lotta pretty right there. IMHO.

Edited because I DO TOO KNOW Manny Ramirez's last name. I'm very tired though!

HELLS YES

Eeep! Hope they get it right this time!

Sports is a social thing for me. I can't imagine caring about the team enough to watch by myself, but love going to live events and am always ready to join a group watching. (if they aren't too serious, cause it is a game folks)

My poor ailing stomach flip flopped at this cake. Hot damn.

I know I probably have all the ingredients at home, but theirs is just so pretty!

We actually did watch the Cowboys game, DJ. That was some sloppy football from both the Cowboys and the Vikings!

Awww, the little dimpled knuckles on Manny's child. puddle
