I'm so fricking excited at how well my CEO's nephew is pitching for the A's. Practically has made this die-hard National Leaguer an A's fan.
Ziggy is pitching right now AIFG!!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

That's AWESOME! I'd cheer for them, but... well, Yanks aren't doing well enough for that. But I will cheer for Ziggy! WooT!

You know Ziggy? He is so my hero. I like his blog, and his guts in rebuilding his pitching, and he's just a good story in a uniform.

Thanks Omnis! He either has already, or is close to, breaking the A.L. record for starting a career without being scored upon! He has pitched 22.2 innings and STILL doesn't have an E.R.A. Well, he does, but it's ZERO.

Raq! Yes! He is a sweetheart. He's living (along with his dad) with my CEO for the season. I've been babbling about him to Suzi since April. Tony (my muy awesome CEO) is married to Ziggy's dad's sister. And his dad is a minister, so he flies back and forth between the bay area and Kansas City so that he's home on Sundays to preach. :)

I love Ziggy for the most important baseball reason of all: he's really good.
Also he seems cool.

Saw my dad, he's in good spirits, not pressing the morphine button too often. We'll probably end up cancelling/postponing the family reunion this weekend. there's some question as to whether my parents will go on their month long cruise.

that won't help any. Might break the keyboard. Then you'll have to write it out long hand.
