Seattle v Baltimore: June 10, 2009
Originally uploaded by browsermetrics.
Went to the Yard to catch future Hall of Famers, Ichiro and Ken Griffey Jr play with hometown Birds. It was one of the better times we’ve had at a game.

First, we walked up to the box office looking for the best tickets, and we got ’em: section 86, lower box, left-center, row bb, seats up against the bull pen wall.

Second, we get three beers and hot dogs and nachos. Just little dinner.

Next, we chat up our fellow neighbors. A couple from NC who got engaged in at the Yard. They’re watching the next couple of games. The gentleman and his kids in front of us. He was a Phillies fan. I had to get Marge in trouble with him as the Mets were leading the Phils. He didn’t care. Then we had the youngsters behind us. “Get ready.” With the glove, Matty Weit Weit’s gonna hit a homer. Instead it was all Seattle. They were hilarious.

The game was too. No hitting for the Birds. Matty Weit Weit upped his average. B Rob is hitting. AJ isn’t. Not much runs. Loss 4-1.

Still fun. See you next Wednesday.

They concluded the presidential debates last Wednesday, but not all candidates were invited. In fact, only the Democratic and Republican nominees were allowed. (Or at least that was my impression as I didn’t watch any of the debates.) There are others running for the Presidency, like these guys.

Come on now. “Who the hell are you? One bastard goes in, another one comes out.”

We’re scraping the bottom, when I start linking to Alan Keyes’s candidacy. But here at BrowserMetrics, I post and let you decide. Whether to laugh or cry for these sad saps. Hopefully, your mom will vote for you.

They concluded the presidential debates last night, but not all candidates were invited. In fact, only the Democratic and Republican nominees were allowed. (Or at least that was my impression as I didn’t watch any of the debates.) There are others running for the Presidency, former congresswoman, Cynthia McKinney, for one.

Cynthia McKinney is running on the Green ticket. She beat out Ralph Nader. Nader must be such a loser that even the Greens don’t want him to lead. McKinney might be more of the same. While I admire some of what the Greens stand for (environmental policies?,) why vote for these losers who will never get a chance to enact any of those policies you cherish?

The Green Party has an all woman ticket. Sarah Palin take note.

They concluded the presidential debates last night, but not all candidates were invited. In fact, only the Democratic and Republican nominees were allowed. (Or at least that was my impression as I didn’t watch any of the debates.) There are others running for the Presidency, Dr. Chuck Baldwin, for one.

Dr. Chuck Baldwin is the Constitution Party’s nominee. I have no idea who he is or what they stand for, but it can’t be good when you leave the Republican party because George W Bush wasn’t right-wing enough. Sounds to me like they’re way Right on issues, a very scary place to be. It’s thin air out there, so thin, as to make you incoherent. I wonder if his policies are? Or are they very coherent, but scary, frightening?

Someone click this link and tell me.

Disclaimer: I’m just going through the other candidates’ websites to provide you, the reader, information. I don’t endorse any of them (except Obama). It’s to help you, the reader, decide on whom you will choose. I’m just wondering, “How the fuck are you still undecided after eight years?”

BoingBoing links to a NYT article about stuffed animals tied to the front of trucks. The article quotes an old friend, Rob Marbury. Fellow ’89 Gilman graduate. Looks as if he’s doing things on his own terms. Good for him.
