Yes, we're all sad that Milwaukee got ran. I would have loved to see C.C. and Prince and Ray Ray crush the Dodgers, but that ship has sailed. We must now throw our collective rooting interests behind the Phillies. After all, who doesn't love Chase Utley? His first name is a verb!
And our own Honest Abe Feliz. Grant himself said we were required to root for Pete Happy.
Did you know Cole Hamels was married to this woman from Survivor?
Did you know there was a TV show called Survivor?!?
(Heidi Hamels)
The Bay Uhhrea's own J-Roll! I miss the braids. :-(
Ryan Howard is a large man with a large car.
Let's go, Phillies! Beat dem Bums!

That picture
Is awkward in so many ways.
1) He achieved that milestone as a Giant in the twilight of his career (he looks so weird in a Giants uniform)
2) The scoreboard in the background shows that he got lit up in the first.
3) “Giant Stadium”
4) His left hand…

Rally What the Hell is Wrong With Amazon.com's Delivery System
Just looking for an opportunity to roll my eyes at this in virtual public. Annoying.
by non sequitur on Oct 6, 2008 10:50 AM PDT reply actions 0 recs
Well, that’s the fault of USPS or whomever delivered it, not Amazon.
But yeah, I had a package a while ago that went from Oakland to San Francisco back to Oakland. That was fun. I also had one from USPS that made it from Seattle to Richmond in a day, and then never departed the Richmond facility. I kept hassling them about it, but all they ever did in response was to add a line to the tracking info: “There are no further updates about this package.”

Well, that’s the fault of USPS or whomever delivered it, not Amazon.
I suppose you’re right about this.
It was around this time I received a package from Amazon that was (obviously) properly addressed to me, but I opened it up and it was a DVD I hadn’t ordered (Curse of Mike Myers!) with an inside packing slip addressed to someone in West Virginia. USPS had delivered the package to the right outside address, so I sort of made the assumption that the reason my order was delayed was that Amazon had screwed up my package in the same way.
by non sequitur on Oct 6, 2008 11:08 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Ah, yeah, could be.
I once had a similar experience to that, too, but it was in my benefit. I had a gift certificate for a mail order company that specialized in flash-frozen, gourmet seafood meals. I placed a small order for a thing of caviar, and when my package came, it was two huge surf-and-turf meals, with a value more than double my gift certificate. I ate like royalty for about a week on that stuff. Mmmmmm.

I guess I could have kept The Curse of Mike Myers, but it’s probably not even worth a fish sandwich from McDonald’s, much less a gourmet seafood meal.
Lest I get too far off track:

To continue the WTF Amazon theme: I once ordered 2 books and a DVD from them and when it came the box was completely empty. To top it off, the packing slip said: This completes your order. Amazon customer service was quite helpful that day. But, I did have to wait 2 extra days for that stuff.

We like to laugh at the shipping too. There’s apparently a warehouse in Nevada. So a package will leave Nevada, go to Richmond, and then come to Sacramento. ’Taint no good way to get to Richmond, CA from Nevada without passing right by us. No distribution center here in Sac though.

Fun Phillies-related story
When I was four, my family moved from Albany in the East Bay to Princeton, NJ, for the sake of my father’s education. While living there, we attended Phillies games fairly often, watching the likes of Mike Schmidt, future Giant Tommy Herr, Von Hayes, future Giant (clearly what he wants to be remembered for) Steve Carlton, and, in the last year before we moved back to the East Bay, future Giant Steve Bedrosian.
Anyway, at one game when I was six, I had to use the restroom, and I INSISTED on going alone. My father wasn’t too keen on the idea, but I was being so stubborn that he eventually relented. So I went and used the restroom without incident, and came back – and went down the wrong ramp back to the seats. I couldn’t find my father anywhere. I kept going, peering down every section to look for my father sitting in his aisle seat. No luck, no luck, no luck. I ended up circling the ENTIRE BALLPARK before I eventually found him.
Also, we used to refer to Veterans Stadium as The Napkin Ring.

Another minor Giants-Phillies connection:
Mike Schmidt, probably the greatest Phillie of all time, played his last game at Candlestick Park in 1989. In the same game, Will Clark hit a grand slam.
I remember this only because I was there – one of my favorite games ever.

I was there, too.
In the RF “Family Pavilion”. Clark’s ball landed a row if front of me, and as I reached for it, I collided gloves with the guy who caught it. He ended up getting called away by security, meeting Will, and trading the ball (his first career slam) for a cap and autographed ball. For 20 years, I’ve replayed that moment in my head, wishing I’d lunged forward just a half-second earlier.

The Dream is Reality
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
I have a dream today!
I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of “interposition” and “nullification” — one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.
I have a dream today!
I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, and every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight; “and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together.”²
