thx double R.... i gotta confess that my phone's autocorrect turned "clip" into "Clio" and "ambien"into "ambient" but like, there's only so much patience you can have when your phone employs autocorrect cuz you know it's better than you.
it was nice to meet good dolphin for a 2nd time with dr. ken's kids... and JORR is a good dude. it was funny getting to the spot in evanston and sitting down next to a lady and ordering my beer and being like "do you mind if i sit here? yeah it spaces out well i'm waiting for a friend to show up so we can see some baseball movies tonight" and she's like "are you sinicalypse?" and quite honestly, whenever i hear that i tend to get a bit faclempt and on edge.... but she's really good peoples.
and JORR: the man, the myth, the legend. we even did a proper nightcap with a couple'a brews at a purported tall midget joint and the man is generous to a fault almost, so at least he let me get the tacos afterward. another quality person in the long line of good dudes i've met from the CSFMB, jolly good show.
extra special props going out to the guy who hosted the show who didn't freak out when i taped a good handful of news reels to show my grandfather tomorrow on the HDTV (cuz i can record to HDTV and even directly output via HDMI that way, let alone using a laptop as a middleman) cuz when they're showing the proper vintage newsreel about the 1932 world series it's like, dude, grandpa was there for a couple'a games..... seeing as he loves watching lawrence fk'n welk for nostalgia, he should love seeing this. and also, when the ppl in the crowd had a nerd-off (you know it's a for-real oldschool baseball crowd when you're one of ~3 people in team hats there, and of course, all of them are of defunct/relocated teams) trying to show the host dude that they knew their shit, like, he didnt lose patience when i asked him if vlad should be in the hall of fame.
him to me: "what do you think?"
me: "i'm biased, i'm an expos fan.... albeit undercover. i can't answer that question in good faith"
good times, good times indeed. i look forward to next year cuz like, seriously, while the NFL is the here and now and of course ALL HAIL JIM HARBAUGH FOR HE IS THE LIGHT AND THE WAY and all that, seriously, baseball is america's game.... it might have taken a dip as massmedia has endeavored to turn people into spazzier programs who are used to the fundamentally inherent herky jerkiness of tv timeouts and all that..... but when it comes to curmudgeony oldschool motherfuckers who live a lifestyle that oft revolves around the sport of the gods: look no further than baseball, my friend.
the only thing that truly fucking sucks is that i somehow fucked up a 7IP 2ER 10K victory by jose fernandez in my league.... even tho i'm a projected 120IP over the limit and i'm so far ahead in pitching it doesnt matter that much, still, i must have clicked off of the page too quick cuz like, i noticed he had 4IP OER 7K circa ~7pm and i was just like ohhhhhhh fuck cuz like, try as you might i'm a believer in jose fernandez. the kid is the goods.
extra special shoutouts to the weird guy behind me and mr/mrs JORR who went jackson pollock when trying to make some sort of an elaborate joke question that nobody, let alone himself, even understood. DON'T BE CONSTRAINED BY THE BORDERS OF TRADITIONAL PAINTING: GET INTO THE PICTURE
