BASEBALL!

September baseball is sooooooooooooooooo intense!

I FINALLY had time to watch baseball on the weekend. It is intense. I was thinking of you ALH when I was watching SF on Sunday. ( I think it was Sunday)

Verlander is an AWESOME pitcher. Totally into the game, great eye. good control. Yup love watching him.

Buster Posey.... bravo you young kid. I am rooting for him. He can hit, he is well liked, he is a great team player. And he is a fantastic catcher. But, I agree why would you do that? But, players get moved around in spots.

Anyway, just piping in. I had no time in August to watch any ball. <insert super sad face>. September is intense. The announcing even changes. So few games, so few nails left!!

Oh, it is heating up! SF has developed some offense with September call-ups, especially Bret Pill. But, they lost yesterday to SD in a game that they should have won.

Hell yes, Verlander is something!! The Tigers are tearing it up out there overall and I am really looking foreward to The AL play-offs- almost as much as the NL, where my heart resides. If Verlander does not get the Cy Young, it would stink. The guy will be among the greats in baseball history.

Yes, Posey and catching again... I don't know if anyone else saw how Carlos Beltran demonstrates the way to slide into home- thing of beauty. He gets the run without putting himself or a catcher in danger of serious injury. And the guy has lousy knees! Players really do not have to smash catchers to hell in order to get the run. Skill and knowing how to have a long career on the field goes a long way.

AZ is really hot and determined- my guess is that they take our conference and SF is a wild-card in the play-offs. We still have some holes that I think will not be filled in time and the Dbacks have the mojo going! I can see them in the WS- just have to see.

Home stand against the Dodgers for SF starting Friday. SD is playing AZ for a series. I think AZ will sweep- damn!!

Yelloband- geez, the Pirates have fallen so much! Sux- they have a lot of talent.

One SF player I quite like is Aubrey Huff. He is solid and incredibly dedicated to the game. What is the term when a player stands at the fence for the whole game? I can't remember. But he impresses me. Alot of players do, but he has some level of "concentration" that I don't often see on others.

I can't help but cheer for the Jays. Even when they get their ass handed to them like the other night. Ahhh I look back fondly when Canada had more than just one team...

I also wish there were two Canadian teams- just added so much more to the whole league. The Jays will be back in full force!!

Huff is really a devoted "team" player. Yes, he is always watching what is going on- doesn't matter if he starts or not. He's one of those players that I think of in those fields of dreams.

I still smile when I see an Expos hat or jacket. I know they were transferred, but still. (hand over heart) raise a glass in memory

My Tigers are rolling through September. They are looking strong going in to the playoffs. I still remember the excitement of making the World Series in 2006, even though we lost. I can't wait for the playoffs!
