I think I died and went to heaven

[JohnKleeb]

damn those fajitas were good.

[WindRavenX]

1. Tonight is hell

Fucking Orioles :mad: :mad:

[JohnKleeb]

2. No its heaven.

I had the best fajitas of my life, I got crushes in school, I got references. I think we're seeing a preview of next year :D and you should be grateful to the o's, we've had boston by the balls this year.

[WindRavenX]

3. fuck em

I haven't seen the Yanks on TV for like a month and THIS is what I get??
Kleeb, buddy, I'M IN BOSTON!! :o

[JohnKleeb]

4. Yeah I know youre in Boston

and your lead would be a lot less short if it werent for some oriole ass kicking of the sox, we actually won that season series. I havent been to an oriole game at the yard in two years, it sucks.

[WindRavenX]

5. why not?

There are tickets availible, right?

[JohnKleeb]

6. thats true

but I havent had the time to get up in to Baltimore, I dunno, I think its psychological too because Ive been so damn frustrated, the o's last went to the playoffs when I was in 5th grade, when I was in 5th grade I started becoming friends with one of my good friends now, I am so damned pissed at Angelos, but Tejada was a great pickup, hes hitting for both average and power and RBI, we need pitching though.

[WindRavenX]

7. aww

Win or lose, there is no such thing as a bad day at the ball park :)
(unless you go to Fenway for a Sox/Yanks game while wearing your Yankee gear and the Yankees get bombed...bad times...bad times...)

[JohnKleeb]

8. I am disillsuioned

I was 10 the last time we went to the playoffs, youre right, its always a good time but its just not what it used to be, I admit it, I miss Cal, my first real big hero.

[WindRavenX]

9. meh, Cal...

...not a fan of him.

[JohnKleeb]

10. he influenced players like your boy Jeter though

I really dont think the power hitting big shortstop would have been as big as it was if Ripken hadnt played, not saying he invented that because Ernie Banks was the primere power shortstop in teh 50's and 60's, he also played 1st but Ripken did inspire people like Jeter, Nomar, A-Rod, Tejada etc. I just wish they would get their pitching together, and find some way to get Angelos to leave, goddamnit I hate him.

[WindRavenX]

11. oh he had a very positive impact on the game

He helped baseball in the early 90's with his streak and, as you mentioned, helped revolutionize the SS position; however, I find his personality to be irksome and his streak, although impressive, is still not as impressive as the Iron Horse's.

[JohnKleeb]

12. I really havent noticed his personality, how is he?

Gehrig was an amazing guy, shame he had to die so damn young.

[WindRavenX]

13. Personality wise..

on the field, at least, he was IMO selfish because he would refuse to sit out a game (hence ending his streak) if he was hurt; this hurt the team probably. However, off the field, he's a tremendous humanitarian so he makes up for whatever he lacks on the field.
So basically, he's a regular athlete :)

[JohnKleeb]

14. I didnt know he was a humantarian

Yeah, I never thought he was beyond anyone, just really appreciated him. I dont know why though, I have nothing in common, I am a lefty throwing, righty hitting pitcher/first baseman/third baseman/outfielder. You know in all my years of playing baseball, the only position I never played was catcher, I actually played shortstop and second base despite being a lefty. I remember, well was it that long ago? I played shortstop when we did softball in gym, that feels sorta like yesterday honestly. Goddamn I am getting old heh.

[WindRavenX]

15. he works with Little League baseball

He and Mike Mussina really help make LL baseball accessable to anyone.

[JohnKleeb]

16. ahh thats right

I sorta miss baseball a little but to be honest, I hated those fucking pants, my waist killed me, and I couldnt hit, if you wanna know the real reason I quit, but I wouldnt mind a career in sportswriting though political writing and comedy writing is on my higher priority list.

[WindRavenX]

17. dude

Us ladies love, love, LOOOOO~VE the baseball pants. :loveya:
Derek Jeter in baseball pants is the strongest evidence I have seen that there is a god :9

[JohnKleeb]

18. I know that but would you like guys like me in em

I am overweight, heh maybe I should have sticked with baseball :D damn heart condition, how about the football pants? I was gonna be a HS football player. Nah, the strongest evidence of god are beautiful women :).

19. Leave it to a child

to think good food is the height of all life's experience.

(Just tweaking your nose a bit, JK...) :evilgrin:

[JohnKleeb]

20. haha those fajitas were heavenly though

I skipped a football game for them,
