take me out to the ballgame

baseball baseball baseball baseball baseball! yay! today i am in love with espn, because it means i get to watch my remodeled atlanta braves play the phillies. i know the ncaa championship is tonight and everything (go maryland), but seriously, how can anyone concentrate on that when there is so much baseball goodness in the world today?

(2:50 p.m.)

i am having issues today. we're going to the a's-rangers game tonight. joel has backed out because he's sick, but susan is taking his ticket. tyson has backed out because he'd rather watch the maryland-indiana game, but aaron is taking his ticket. (basketball over baseball? weird.) after half a dozen phone calls to various people, i finally figured out what sean's last name is so i could look up his number, but he didn't answer the phone, and i don't know if he even remembers that i was going to get him a ticket for the game. anyway. well no matter what, i will be at the game tonight!

the braves won, 7-2, with newcomers sheffield and castilla each knocking in three runs. a promising start for my braves. i'm quite happy about it. carter emailed to say he was there...ooooh, i wish i could have seen the braves on opening day. last year (or was it the year before?) courtney and alex and i went to braves opening day, and we were some of the only people in the upper deck because it had rained earlier in the day. i still have the picture of our empty section that was in the newspaper. good stuff, opening day.

(11:24 p.m.)

what a great monday! the braves won, the a's won, maryland won, and the yankees lost big. can't get much better than that. too bad i have to spoil it by getting up early for class tomorrow. ;)
