    Liza, of those names, I know who Millar is (obviously), and Rios. That’s about it. If I had this game on TV I’d get to know the faces that go with the Rays names, but unfortunately, my next televised game is May 5.

    Meghan- Don’t worry, Kazmir’s on my fantasy team. I’ll put him on my active roster, basically ensuring that he’ll blow up somehow. It always happens to me.

    Wow, those girls got awful dressed up to go to a baseball game.

    Liza- Don’t worry, my mom made a really bitchy comment about those women. Really who dresses like that to a game?

    Boos from the Tampa side of the crowd? That’s certainly new since I left.

    Manny!

    Yay, Manny!

    I will not even share with you what I said about those chickees in a side IM chat.
    And YAY MANNY.

    He (literally) got a guy thrown out of a spring training game. The same game I was sitting in the outfield tiki bar and caught the Longoria HR, these two guys sitting next to me were gently heckling Carl – things like, “You stink!” and “Drop the ball, Carl!” Carl turned around, hollered that one of the guys was a “motherfucker”, and flipped him off… while the game was in progress. Carl then went and bitched to security, and told them to have him thrown out. AT A SPRING TRAINING GAME.

    Seriously- if a dude can’t handle some light heckling in spring training, he’d wilt at CBP or Wrigley.

    I can’t see “these said girls,” but could it be they’re groupies and are dressed for success?

    As insanely weird as it is to have a live animal tank at a ballpark — it’s still kinda cool.

  15. 2008 April 25 at 7:31 pm
    Meghan permalink

    Ahh, the fabled ray tank. I think other MLB teams with animal mascots need to follow suite.

    I’m not to sure if I can post what my mom said about those girls. It was pretty funny though.

    Hi All

    :: waves ::

    I’m soooooooo glad it’s Friday. Could the week be any longer?

    LOL, I thought the same thing about those two (that’s when I first turned on the TV).

    It’s a big relief to see JD start off relatively well this year — I know he’s had a bit of trouble the last week or so, but compared to last year? Much better.

  19. 2008 April 25 at 7:33 pm

    We could have a giant sock drawer.

    Yeah! That’d be sick… (about the “I think other MLB teams with animal mascots need to follow suite” comment)
    What about the Tigers? :)

    Bear cubs at Wrigley!
    Tigers in the outfield in Detroit!
    Blue Jays flying around the diamond in Toronto!

  22. 2008 April 25 at 7:34 pm

    JD Drew, the Southern Belle of Walks.

    What would the New York teams have?

  24. 2008 April 25 at 7:36 pm
    Meghan permalink

    Live tigers would be the shit! And what about the Diamondbacks? Hehe. Or the Cubs! Or the Marlins. I think the rest are just common birds though…not so interesting.

    jules, my week FLEW by…until around lunchtime today, when it slowed to a torturous c-r-a-w-l. I am SO glad to be home relaxing!

  27. 2008 April 25 at 7:36 pm

    TG I think the Yankees already have that covered.

    They could put Suzyn Waldman and Woody Allen in a cage and have people go look at them for NYY.

  29. 2008 April 25 at 7:37 pm

    The Skankees would just have dirty skanks

  30. 2008 April 25 at 7:38 pm
    Meghan permalink

    And lucky patrons could pay extra to hear Waldman yell “RAWGAH CLEMENS IS IN GOORGE STEINBRENNA’S BOWX!”

    Well, what about the Mets? What would be in a “Metropolitans” tank?

  32. 2008 April 25 at 7:39 pm

    I’m calling it right now 6-4-3 DP for Lugo

    here’s hoping my reverse psychology works

    Texas Gal permalink

    Don’t y’all New England residents realize… ALL OF Y’ALL would be the mascots in the cages, because y’all are ALL Yankees. :)

  34. 2008 April 25 at 7:40 pm
    Meghan permalink

    I’m hoping since you called the DP it won’t acutually happen…

  35. 2008 April 25 at 7:40 pm

    As long as they aren’t in Suzyn Waldman’s BOWX it’s all good.

    Thanks. I’ll be here all night. Don’t forget to tip your bartender and waitress.
