Title: Hey Batter, Batter, Batter, SWING!
Post by: HisDaughter on March 29, 2008, 11:58:53 PM
Okay Baseball fans...if you love your team like I love mine this is the place to be!
My Mariner's Opening Day is this Monday.  I'm bummed that I don't get to go but I will be there on Wed. or Thurs.  Safco Field is within walking distance of me!!  Can YOU beat that??

So this is where we will meet to brag or ask for prayer, as the case may be for our teams!
Let's be nice here, but I will warn you:  I've been told that I'm competitive.  However, I'm not a sore loser either.  Just like to have fun!

Soooooooooooooooooooo......PLAY BALL!

As much fun as I have sparing with you (and everyone else), I'm off work and have to give up the computer to the graveyard shift.  Time to head up to my room and read for a bit.  I'm really not missing my tv at all.  Kinda cool.  I guess that just proves, to me anyway, that there really isn't anything all that great on tv anymore!  ;)
Good night my friend!

Nice!  Is Randy still pitching there or is he retired, traded?  I loved him when he pitched for us.  "Mr. Snappy!"
Well I went and splurged on a new Mariner hooded sweatshirt and I'm off to the game in about 45 min!  Love that "walking distance"!
Adios!

Post by: HisDaughter on April 02, 2008, 01:29:07 AM
Oh my gosh!  I had so much fun at the ball park tonight!  But wouldn't you know, all the real action started after I left.  I stayed until the top of the 8th and the the score was STILL 1-1.  By the time I get home it's 3-3!  They are still playing the bottom of the 9th and Texas is ahead 5-4!  Good Grief.  I would've stayed the whole game but those bleachers in the cheap seats are HARD and my hip has had a pinched nerve in it for a week.  Poor old Grammyluv!
I'll see how I feel tomorrow.  I may have to go back and see a tie-breaker!
Man!  I love this game!
Cheers!
In Christ,
Yvette  ;D

Have to say I am a Tiger fan when it comes to the pro's....and it is hard to get to one of their games when you are living in Bama....so I settle for the minors and the Huntsville Stars....  Original minor team of some of the greats like Jose Conseco, Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa, Mark McQuire....  And they all played during the same year.... that was the first year of Joe Davis Stadium.... I was selling peanuts down the isles.... that was an awesome job...got to watch a game and make money too.

Oh?  Way cool!  I would have a hard time working and watching the game too.  I'm afraid that I wouldn't get a lot of peanuts sold unless they all came to me!
I'm assuming "Bama" is Alabama?  At least I've heard it called so.  (I'm such a Yankee) My dad and 1/2 sister live in Mobile.  My dad being originally from Georgia.  I was down that way for a little over a year before coming back home to Seattle in 01'.  Beautiful country but too hot for a Northwesterner!  Same thing when I lived in Arizonia!  We Northerners like things nice and cool and are absolutely dying if the temp gets near or over 90!  Unless I'm camping by a cool creek or river where I can cool off that is!

Yeah it was fun...but I was also good...sold my quota even on the slowest nights (selling quota got me a bigger percentage)...  Would go round with the ice cream girl and we would sell sundae's...  :)  Don't laugh to much...it honestly worked.

And yea Bama is Alabama.  And it does get hot down here...the worst of it is the muggy humidity.  Nothing like 110 degrees with 100% humidity....

Auuuggghhh!  Didn't want to mention the humidity because everyone else does!  But yeah, if I had anything to do like the laundry mat, groceries, etc. , I did it by 10 am so that I could back under the air conditioning!
Well I'm back to the ball park for the tie-breaker!   Go M's!

Ha ha ha.  Very funny!
But let me share something!  Some good that has come out of the season already!  I have a DATE!  Yes.  Ol' Grammyluv has a date to a ball game with a very nice Christian gentleman that works for the mission also!  If that don't beat all, I don't know what does.  I had pretty much resigned myself to singleness and maybe I still will.  It's just a date after all.  But he did catch my eye 3 months ago, when I first started here!  When I found out he was a Mariner fan also, I took the initiative (and a lot of mustered up courage) and asked if he'd like to go sometime.  I about fell over when he said, "Yes." !!

Well with honesty being the best policy, the Mariners are 10-10 with themselves.  We've won 10 and lost 10.  Not too good.  But it's still early in the season!

How's your team doing?  I can't believe that I'm the only baseball fan on here.  But then.....maybe I am!  And if thats the case, I'm happy have a running dialog with myself.  I do it all the time anyway!

Hello GrammyLuv,

Sister Yvette, there has to be a ton of baseball fans somewhere. Those guys sure do make a ton of money. I do feel bad that other baseball fans haven't joined you here. Maybe they just don't know about the discussion. I guess that I was somewhat of a baseball fan when I was much younger, but I doubt you want to talk about Mickey Mantle.   ;)  NOW, I fully expect someone to make this much worse and replace the name I gave with someone like Babe Ruth.

Mickey who?  And isn't Babe Ruth a candy bar?    ;D ;D ;D

The earliest I remember is the early 70's when I had a highschool crush on Catfish Hunter, pitcher for the Oakland A's.  That's when I first got interested in the game!

Okay, so the first two were WAY before my time, but even so if you were a highschool girl which one would you fall for?  ;D

Around this area the water is muddy.  Though the cats, and dog enjoy catfish.

I won't touch any fish from the waters around here unless they are private lakes that have been kept up. The waters here are polluted and muddy while the fish are worm infested. Years ago when I went with my grand Dad the fishing was great and a good way to supplement the grocery tab. We would have fish several times a week. Now to get good fish it costs a fortune.

Years ago when I went with my grand Dad the fishing was great and a good way to supplement the grocery tab. We would have fish several times a week. Now to get good fish it costs a fortune.



That's one thing that I can't understand.  Seattle is right on Puget Sound with the Pacific just past that.  And one can't afford to "buy" fish here either.  It's not like we have to import it.  But if you're looking for clean running water....we've got so many lakes, rivers and streams here.  Come on up!  The fishing is great!
And my fish story?  Once I reeled in this monster trout.  The thing was huge!  Caught it on a treble hook, but some how while scooping him up in the net and him flopping around so much, I got one of the hooks right through the webbing between my thumb and forefinger!  Well my husband, took a pair of needlenose and pulled it out backwards lickety split.  I didn't feel a thing.  That big ol' fish was just as quiet and still the whole time my husband did that.  And the fish was so big; really nothing short of a small salmon, so I took and made a "salmon" loaf out of him and took it to a potluck!

That would still be an ouch. I never got stuck with a hook but my son did. He pulled back on a line to set the hook in a fish that took the bait. Instead the hook came flying back at him and set in the back of his shoulder. He pulled it out himself.

We also caught a cat once and not the fish type. My son came home from fishing and left his poles with hooks and lures still attached by the back door. I was awakened to a horrible lot of noise in the house. One of the lures was minnow with all kinds of hooks on it. I guess the cat thought it was a real minnow and tried to eat it. He drug that pole all round the house making a real big mess and breaking a lot of things along the way. The hook was set pretty deeply in it's mouth. A lot of scratches and 15 minutes later I finally got it out with just a small hole in it's cheek that healed nicely. The cat was fine but it wouldn't eat fish after that.

I'll bet!  Once he figured out that maybe fish can bite back!

Opening Day at Safeco Field:

The sold-out crowd at the Safeco Field opener fueled a 10-inning thriller, as Franklin Gutierrez doubled and scored on a throwing error and made a winner of the Mariners, who had Ken Griffey Jr. in a home uniform for the first time since 1999.
Seattle 3
LA       2

My, oh my!

What happens in the 7th inning of last night's game, when the score is:

LA 3
Seattle 7

...the bases are loaded and my man, Ichiro hits a home run?!

A) It's all over but the crying
B) Mommy comes in Grammy's room and turns down the volume on Grammy's TV and tells Matias and Grammy to quiet down
C) Matias and Grammy are giving each other "High 5's"
D) All of the above

I had a wonderful time at the ball game!  It was my first trip this year to Safeco and my Mariners lost 3-1, so it was a pretty slow game.  I was in good company though and win or lose, I always love being there!

APRIL!  And we know what that is! (Besides Spring and hopefully sunny days)......It's BASEBALL!  WhooHoo!  And if you've viewed any of my posts here, you'll know that I'm from Seattle since my favorite team, win or lose, is the Mariners!

I didn't get to a single game last year because of financial trouble but I sure am hoping that I can take my grandson this year or even just go to some games myself!  I LOVE Safeco Field!

Now, I'm not one of those that can quote you all the scores and players or what position certain teams are holding on any given day, but I love going to the games or watching them on TV if I can't be there.  And if the Mariners "happen" to win, I'm not above throwing it in your face!  I know, I know.....it doesn't happen that often, but a new season always brings new hope with it!

PLAY BALL!

Hello GrammyLuv,

I'm not much of a baseball fan, but I might be if I lived closer to a pro team and got to see them live in the park. I did get to see St. Louis play last year in the park, and we had a really good time. I think it makes a world of difference to be there instead of watching it on television. Have fun and I hope that your team has a good season.

I think it does make a difference to have your own team and to be able to go to the park.  The atmosphere there is what it's really all about!
