history of failure

Pfft. Amateur losers. Newb losers. As losers, they are babes in the woods. The Phils are bigger losers than anyone ever!!

Wait, that didn't come out right, somehow.

Heh. Amych speaks the truth.

Also, yay, Phillies!! My sister was at tonight's game. Am jealous.

mac threw a fit about ending video games and starting bedtime prep, part of my "bossy mommy" problem, according to him. After about 5 min I tried a new attack, Fine, stay up, but then you have to do chores.

Hey, ex-A, Joe Blanton not only pitches beautifully in the win, he gets the first home run by a pitcher in the World Series since 1974 -- when A's pitcher Ken Holtzman hit one. Sweeeet!

I don't often talk about baseball in here, because it's like talking about my heart and it feels weird. I'm a SF Giants fan, and that's an under-statement. Anyway, some of you know that Jimmy Rollins (and Dontrelle Willis and Willie Stargell) went to my high school, and I date a Philly guy. So I am thrilled beyond all thrilled with this World Series.

good political news of the day --- my little neighborhood had a no on 8 party and raised over 3000.00 . talk talk talk of the need to protect civil rights

matt says you are pretty awesome, msbelle. I am wondering how long this will work.

Yeah, Blanton's shot was a lovely thing for a guy who basically didn't hit until a couple of months ago.

Man. Hell of a game. They really broke out in this one -- last night's ending was kind of hilariously weird, but they shouldn't have been there in the bottom of the 9th to begin with. Tonight was a completely different way to win, and in 30mumble years of following this team, they've sometimes had one, but they've very rarely been able to do both.

Thanks for the wishes, guys! We are finally alone in what is apparently this business hotel's version of the honeymoon suite (a king with a hot tub in the room) and Mr bon is grading while I am catching up on the internet.

I swear if pulls this tomorrow night he will be vacuuming. And the drying dishes is going to become almost daily, little does he know.
