I’m gonna link a scanlation. It’s to Cross Game by Adachi Mitsuru. It’s one of the finest manga out there now. Mitsuru-sensei is the Japanese film director, Ozu, as a mangaka. Not in theme, but in the ability to establish atmosphere. He loves to extend time panel by panel.
Umm. You should be reading this.
Wieters connects for 1st Homerun

We were at this game that night.
It was Marge@TheFishTank’s two favorite teams going mano-a-mano.
It was also Adam Jones Bobblehead night.
It was also awesome for the Aubrey Huff homer late in the game to sock it away for the Orioles.
I again find things on Flickr that is awesome.

Saw the Mayfaire Cooper S version this morning. It’s the brown one on the right in the picture. Except this one was brown all the way around no white two-tone roof combo. It was brand new.
It was beautiful. Sorry, Itsuki-chan, but I may have to trade you in.
Plus, they’ve got the Camden version which is a true white. Very nice.
This blog can turn into any type of blog at a moments notice. It can seem to be about anime, manga, and 2D girls, then change on over to movie reviews. It can talk about the greatness of NewsRadio via NewsRadio Quote Month, and it can talk about the wackness that is George W. "President Fucktard" Bush. It'll dive into politics if I feel angry. It'll reminisce about past loves, lost loves, lost times, and good ol' times. It'll have thoughts about today, tomorrow, and the future. It is what I write it to be. And at this point it'll turn into a sports blog. Baseball because that's what I'm thinking about for the past several months. If you don't like, it come back in another day, and it will be about something else. Today's link will bring you to a debate about "Mr. October." In everyone's minds, it's Reggie Jackson. The way Alex Rodriguez has been on a tear, some people in New York thinks he ascended to the "Mr. Octorber" moniker. The link shows you their stats through 40+ games. They're similar and A-Rod actually has better numbers. The problem is that Reggie has been on World Series winning teams, and A-Rod has not been. But that's because of the Divisional playoff rounds. A-Rod has to go through an extra layer to make it to the World Series. Reggie Jackson didn't. A-Rod's teams had to go through tougher, meaningful games with teams hellbent on making it to the glory of the World Series. He isn't "Mr. October" because he's not played in the hotter crucible of single series elimination.But then A-Rod has played in more playoff games. His stats are loaded. The problem is that he was unable to bring home a title. That's why he's no "Mr. Ocotober." The World Series will end in November. Maybe A-Rod can be "Mr. November." Hee-hee.http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/archives/2009/10/jockbeat_31.php(ht daringfireball.net)
Every baseball game I went to this season, I hoped to get a ball. One time it was hit straight to me and I dropped it. Another time I picked one up on the ricochet. I have a ball from the park! A sweet souvenir from a nice night at the Park.
This guy, he’s got thousands, and he’s at Camden Yards charging hard for more. Hats off to this guy. We’ll see him next year in the stands, and we’ll race him to the next batted ball.
(Love the part in the article where he gives tips: breasts, little cute kid these will get you a ball.)

Funny article about Red Sox fans finding Anaheim standium unfriendly.
Cry me a river.
That’s what happens when you think RedSox Nation extends anywhere you’re at. Fuck those Red Sux fans. That how it should be. Now, if only the Orioles (and their fans) could do this I would be happy.
Driving home in the rain and a state trooper pulls in behind me from York to Greenspring on Timonium. I eye him wondering why he pulled in behind me. Does he think I’m speeding? Acting weird? Suspicious? Maybe he just wants to get to the on ramp to 83. That is most likely it.
We’re at the light by the Sunoco. Another car pulls in next to me on the right turn lane as the light turns green. I go. So does this car. Except he’s following me across the intersection. Dude thinks that his lane can go straight. I’m fucking surprised. The light rain doesn’t make it any better. I’m moving my car to the next lane over lucky that there is no traffic in the other lane.
The dude goes over the curb. I”m stopped honking my horn. I’m waiting for the flashing lights.
Fucking state trooper doesn’t do shit. He’s just watching the whole thing unfold still stopped at the light. I let this guy go. The fucking cop lets this guy go. Then he’s following me. Me? Dude, that guy just was up on the curb. Light ’em up and ticket ’em. Shit why aren’t you pulling that dude over? Where the fuck are COPS when you need it?

Doing some laundry.
Put it in washing machine at 8:30.
Go up to put it in the drier at 9:30 while watching MLB post season.
The wash wasn’t done. It wasn’t even started. The lid was up on the washing machine. Did I do that? Or…..!
I then let the wash continue. I wonder if it had enough soap or did it all wash away in the first rinse through? At least the clothes are wet.
Opening Day 2009
Penultimate Game, 2009
Caught several innings of tonight’s Tigers-Twins game. Didn’t see the win, but was impressed.
It’s October ball. Can’t wait for next year though…
