most australians will not understand this entry!!!
hes BACK!!!!!
good ole barry bonds!!! he has been out all season with knee injuries. 3 surgeries! i just wish is was earlier in the season!!!
his 1st at bat, he faced 11 pitches, and he hit one!!! line drive to deep center!!! was it #704??
it sure looked like it!!! the scoreboard flashed 704!!! but wait.....
some RAT BASTARD reached over the wall, and snagged the ball!!! umpire said, ground rule double!!!
the RAT BASTARD got ejected!!! and rightfully so!!! he was robbed of a homer by a dumbass "fan"!!!
gahhh!!!! why cant people keep their grubby hands away from the ball until it finishes going over the wall?????
good ole barry bonds went 1 for 4 and the giants won, 4-3!!!
during the at-bat, he hit some TOWERING FOULS!!!! sky hi!! woosh!!
well, theres tonight!!! and the regular season ends at the end of the month, bonds needs 11 homers to catch babe ruth (714). heres hoping that the opposing teams PITCH to him, and maybe, just maybe by seasons end, he will catch up to babe ruth, and maybe pass him!! then. next season, he will catch hank aaron (755)!!! if these rat bastard pitchers had just pitched to him last season, instead of walking him, then maybe he would have already have caught aaron.
but one thing is for sure, sometime next april, or may, we will have a new home run champion!!!
good ole barry bonds!!
i stayed up late last night watching the giants win, hence the late entry this morning!
i tryed something with creamsicle yesterday. when i took him to the vet, and told him that he been hacking like he has hairballs, the vet said maybe it was dust or something like that. all the bloodtests came out good, and i have to wait until thursday to find out about the thyroid test. im sure that will be ok too! but anyhoo, yesterday, i let him in the closet, and he stayed behind the water heater all day long! and last night, when he came out, he started hacking again, so today, the closet is closed to him. he begged this morning, and even tryed to reach up to the door knob to try to open it!!! but im keeping him out today, to see if he hacks up like he does. and if he dont hack up, then i know that its the closet that is doing it to him, and if so, i wont let him in there anymore no matter how much he begs and pleads. he can go under the bed. which is where he is now.
last night was so funny!! ya should have seen it!! i had the blinds open on the back window, and cat hopped up on the bed, and looked out the window, but it was all dark, and he seen his reflection in the window, and howled, and jumped off the bed, and ran like hell in the bathroom, then back under the bed!!!
here he comes again!! sitting by the door, and looking at me with sorrowful eyes. well i aint budging!!
he just gave up, and went back under the bed. i wish he wouldnt spend all day under the bed!!!
in udder news..................
Tomorrow, the Massachusetts state legislature will convene a Constitutional Convention to decide whether to replace their gay marriage law with Vermont-style civil unions. Apparently, even though the state Supreme Court judged gay marriage to be constitutional over two years ago, some organization with the word "Family" in the name somehow got to the state legislators and got them to consider this more watered-down civil union amendment. It seems like the universal support the amendment received at first is starting to slip, as some legislators are seeing that -- gasp! -- gay marriages are just as solid as hetero marriages. As one wavering legislator told a gay-community newspaper, legal gay marriage "made strong unions among people who have not had the opportunity until that time to get married." No shit. People who love each other, committing to a life together, raising a family. Who knew something like that could work?
Actually, I'd like to think of gay marriage the same way that Kinky Friedman, who's running for governor in Texas, does: "I support gay marriage. I think they have every right to be just as miserable as the rest of us."
When you think of our legislative process in action in Massachusetts, you may have "The Star-Spangled Banner" playing in your head. For that, you can thank Francis Scott Key, who composed the lyrics to the song on this day in 1814, as he watched the destruction of Fort McHenry at the hands of British troops. Despite the bombardment, the flag still flew over the ravaged fortress. At some point after the poem was published, the words were applied to the British drinking song "To Anacreon in Heaven." The combination officially became our national anthem in 1916, creating the perfect storm of clumsy lyrics -- with lots of "o'ers" and "ramparts" -- and difficult vocal transitions that would haunt us later as people like Carl Lewis pierced our eardrums with tone-deaf renditions at sporting events.
so, if ya can, try to watch baseball history in the making as the giants play the padres in san francisco, 7 pm pacific time!!!
and lastly, yesterday i recieved in the mail from diarylands favourite pie-rat, poolagirl my 2 pie rat hats that i ordered from her!!!! and autographed too!!! famous!!! wheeeeeeeee!!!!
thanks poolagirl
well, have a fun filled chocolate covered day!! hay hay!!
FACT OF THE DAY
Today is the anniversary of the birth in 1938 of John Smith, the leader of the Labour Party from 1992 until his untimely death in 1994. Smith was a strong proponent of devolution and was committed to establishing a Scottish Parliament. Although a fairly right-leaning leader in his time, he is increasingly seen as a Labour traditionalist when viewed against the policies of his successor, Tony Blair.
