I Heart Photo Day

Oh my god... Had I known what the concept of Photo Day was I would have been the first person in line on Sunday morning. So, the first 5,000 fans (so they say) were allowed to go underneath the stadium and onto the field, surrounding the warning track. The players would come by and you could ask them to take pictures with you. Holy shit! I admit, in the beginning I was simply taking pictures of guys as they walked by, but I got sick of listening to Barbara Smith from Virginia talk about the letters she's written to Trebelhorn about her high school ball playin son to everyone that walked by so I took it upon myself to save them by asking them for a picture. It started with Corey Patterson and only got better. Um.. call me a delusional fan, but Nick Markakis and Melvin Mora both touched my back and I think Todd Williams and I made out. Ok, that didn't happen, but there were arms everywhere! It was an awesome experience that could only have been eclipsed if Brian Roberts had made it around to centerfield. Obviously, any woman in her right mind wants a picture with him so, he didn't get very far. Next year I might camp out Saturday night so i can get as close to the dugout as possible.

Ok, weekend in Baltimore. I've gotta tell you. It's insanely disconcerting to be an Oriole fan in Baltimore when the Yankees are in town. I was SURROUNDED and I heard more "Let's Go Yankees" chants than anything else. I think next year I'm gonna hit up one of those Tampa Bay series! I mean, I go there to not feel like the outsider and so i can yell "O" during the national anthem. I admit, both games were great, even though the O's couldn't bring it home on saturday. Course, Sunday was way better and nothing shuts up those obnoxious drunk Yankee fans like an ass whooping. If only it happened more often :) I also have to say, there is nothing more entertaining than listening to grown men shout another man's name and have it be completely heterosexual, and even somewhat masculine. Only Yankee fans. As I said, the games were great, definitely entertaining for me (not so much for my mother and sister who would have left early on Sunday if I had let them) and Photo Day was beyond my expectations. I mean, I almost didn't go but I figured since we were in town for it, there was no good reason not to go! Good call on that one.

The weekend was a good one and I'm certainly enjoying being home before 6:30 for once during the week! I'm actually trying to catch up on watching those movies I rented and didn't watch on Friday night. Got through Just Like Heaven - cute... unbelievable, but cute. I've got Match Point on now.. I'll keep ya posted. I'm sure I'll give a good review. I dig men with accents :)

More great news - Matthew McConaughey and Penelope Cruz broke up. Ok, so not such great news for them, but I know I'm not complaining. Let the naked bongo playing commence!
