V is a good letter.

Alcohol sure played a number on me last night. Almost got into a fight with two of my best friends and also apparently girls don't like it when you accidentally call them the wrong name, who knew? Quite the night to say the least.

Barring injury the east is a forgone conclusion, there's really nothing more to say. The Lakers are the only team with a prayer of beating the Heat, the end.

QUOTE (RudyLawRules @ Aug 9, 2010 -> 08:27 PM) Who'd a thunk back on June 9th, when we were 24-33 that today we'd be 63-49 and tied for first as of today? Anyone? And who would have thought 4 days ago that today we'd be tied for first after losing 3 of 4 to the Orioles? Look, the turn around from this team has been nothing short of remarkable since June, that being said, we're in a pennant race now and just because we were terrible in April and May doesn't make series like this any less disappointing.

Well time for Lilli to save the day per usual.

Last night my brother was driving home and he saw a little rabbit that was injured so he picked it up and for the time being we have two bunnies. Did you name it rabbit?

As always, a 6 man rotation is just a terrible idea.

Say an upcoming DUI or something like that. Ya, Kane might be a douche but I don't think he's an all out scum bag like Ben is.

Going to see "The Other Guys" tonight, looking forward to it.

If Putz or Thornton are available in the 9th, then one of them needs to be closing. But if one of those two are needed in the 7th or 8th then you have to use them there as well.

You hear about the skeleton who couldn't go to the party? He had noBODY to go with.

QUOTE (J.Reedfan8 @ Aug 5, 2010 -> 10:09 PM) Is that when your softball game is? Nah, she's having a birthday party type deal in the city. So the real question is, do I impress her by wearing my Freddy Garcia or Damaso Marte jersey?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 5, 2010 -> 06:30 PM) Man, y'all need to stop. I feel like I'm watching the Oprah show. Rowand, just go for it. We're not teenagers here. You win some, you lose some. Ultimately, all you wanna do is get laid anyway. /J4L Heh, I was going to go for it no matter what. I just like to see different peoples perspectives and we sure got a lot in this thread and everything was entertaining so good stuff. If anyone cares, tomorrow will be the day stuff does or doesn't happen. So there ya go.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 11:15 PM) Oh brother...the drama! lol, glad my life can keep you entertained.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 11:09 PM) Well, my guess is her best friend showed you this for a reason. So don't be a pansy now and wait 5 days to talk to the girl. Did you get her number from the friend too? The best friend actually has no idea I saw/heard anything. Haven't done anything about the number yet, like I said I could grab the number right now if I wanted to, so I'm not overly worried about that. Once I figure out how I'm going to handle this then I'll scoop up the number and go from there.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 11:50 PM) Ok, now that you have us all looking in, how did you find this out? A mutual friend happened to mention this? In a nutshell, ya pretty much. Kind of 3rd hand information from her best friend but I weaseled my way into seeing text messages to make sure what people were telling me was legit and it is.

Ha, surprised my situation got this much response. Anyways, not that anyone gives a s*** but with out talking to her or even doing anything yet, I ended up finding out she is indeed interested. Now the fun part we'll be to see if I can handle this correctly with out f***in it up. We'll see what happens.

QUOTE (smalls2598 @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 12:14 PM) Whirlyball's Wikipedia entry contains this great piece of info: "Games played by veterans at a national level can get particularly vicious, although it is extremely rare for a fatal injury to occur" Whirlyball is f***in awesome. I have also never seen a fatal injury occur while playing ha.

Hopefully they donate me a billion.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 01:46 PM) Yeah, I was thinking about this too. If you can get it without having to turn into Sherlock Holmes, probably not a big deal. But if you have enlist the help of Dr. Watson just to track it down, it may look like you're trying a bit too hard. It wouldn't take much work at all, just one phone call/text to a friend.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 12:28 PM) Hah, Bren...I get what you're saying about stalking her page for info...but they drunkenly made out in a bar. Isn't the cat out of the bag a bit in terms of "seeming too in to her"? Hah, these games people play are so ridiculous... That's actually not what happened, we went out to a bar but the other stuff happened when we got back to one of our friends house to hang out and drink some more. I feel this situation would be much easier if I just knew exactly how drunk she was ha. It would also probably help if I remembered everything that went down so ya, I'm quite a winner. The thing is, I actually believe she was the one who made the first move last night but once again, memory is a tad bit hazy so who knows. And Rock, that was another thing I was definitely going to do at some point anyways and just shoot her a text about something other than "us" so she at least has my number and what not. Besides that though, I guess I'm going to go with the wait and see approach, even though waiting for this crap to sort itself out is going to drive me nuts.

So this is kind of new territory for me cause I'm usually not about being locked down with 1 girl, I like to have my fun and be done with it for the most part. But every few years there's a girl that comes along that I actually can see myself with and pretty much drives me up a wall, and that's where I am now. So here's my dilemma: I've been back in the burbs for about two months now and have been playing on this coed softball team. Met this girl who went to my high school and graduated my year but I really never knew her while we were there. Anyways, this chick is exactly 100 percent my type when it comes to looks, just perfect to me. Well we have a lot of the same friends so the last 2 weeks we've hung out a few times with the whole group. Well last night, not really sure what exactly happened(I was drunk and I'm sure she was too, making this whole thing more complicated) but stuff did indeed happen between us and it wasn't really too surprising cause we do flirt a lot but things just haven't happened before. Here's the problem, I don't even have this girls phone number and I really have no clue how to follow up on this now, sending a facebook message would be so incredibly lame so I don't want to do that but I wont see her for another week and I really don't want to wait that long to see what the deal is, especially because the next time I see her will be our softball game. To add to that, the whole being in the same group of friends thing can really make this awkward. If I do make this move and she's not interested then things could get real weird when we're all hanging out and I really don't want that to happen either. So to sum s*** up, I have no idea what the f*** to do. Just needed to get that off my chest.
