Man, I don't think I've been this busy in a very long time -- can't even spare some minutes to post an update! Well, one of my favorite quotes when the "I don't have time" excuse is given: "Make time."
♦ Got to see David Pauley pitch a pretty good game against the Cleveland Indians last last Saturday. The M's lost 4-2, but the more importantly about this game was that 1) I got a Mariner's fleece blanket out of it and 2) I accompanied my friend Trevor (along with Brian and G) to a pre-game U.S.S. Mariner hosted Q&A session with M's GM Jack Zduriencik. Interesting to hear a GM field and defend (or acknowledge) fan generated questions about such a dismal season. Ex: "I know you can't mention any names *cough Chone Figgins*, but are there players on this team that you brought in and felt that, 'whoops, we just flat missed the evaluation on that guy?'" Jack: ... [few seconds of silence] "Yes."
I also took the time see if I could make some nice hand held panoramic photos of the field. The one above is during the Q&A, with the following being from the three hundred level during the game.
♦ My baseball playing season is over, having lost our first and only playoff game. It was a heartbreaker, as we were up 2 runs going into the bottom of the ninth inning. I'll formulate a more detailed end of season report in the near future, but baseball for 2010 is officially over.
♦ 1.5 weeks until I leave for Hawaii, and beach ready body is in dire straits. The flurry of closely scheduled baseball games prevented me from going to the gym as much as I would have liked, but I've gotten back on the horse. Tonight might have signified the hardest leg workout I've ever done, resulting in difficulty walking back to my car for the first time ever. Abs might be out of the question now, but we'll see how much definition can be chiseled in between now and next weekend.
♦ Have you seen the A&E show Hoarders? That stuff is intense. It's amazing to see what some people can live with in their homes -- especially when they don't acknowledge any sort of problem. I actually had a little bit of a hoarding tendency myself (unable to let go of some useless things), but I think I've grown a bit out of it. We'll see what happens after I get my own place! Which...
♦ If all works out according to plan, I will receive the keys to my new home the night right before I leave for Hawaii. Kinda of ill-timed as I won't be able to see it or spend time in it for a week, but man, one step closer to becoming a full fledged adult.
♦ Go see Machete.
