You can take the girl out of the NY metro area....

...but you can't take the girl out of the game.

This blog otherwise known as: Play Ball!

Or, alternately known as: Jessie's Talents


I've been feeling a bit homesick lately (which never ever happens, so I'm not used to it). I'm thinking it's mostly because I've been fighting a cold and I miss my warm bed and furry kitty to make me feel better. ANYWAYS, home sickness partially subsided tonight while I listened to the game online. I tried watching it, but I was going to use up all of the juice in the 3G card if I watched it, and since I need the card for work for the next 2 weeks I thought that using it all up for the game probably wouldn't be such a good idea, so I listened to the FAN and really missed garykeithandron.

As I blog, Reyes just led off the 12th with a double off the wall that (Howie says) just barely missed going out to tie the game. But why was JOSEJOSEJOSE hotdogging it AGAIN going into second??!?!?! Grrrrrrrrr. Anyways, it's four hours of stress and happiness all mixed in together and it feels like home.

I also wanted to share something that I find hilarious --- one of my teammates blogged on our team blog how amazed she was about all of the hidden talents that we all have. We have some very good singers, very good amateur photographers and a few artists on our team. About me she writes "and Jessie loves baseball". Unfortunately no one here really cares -- the few Americans have no interest at all, but I did have a full conversation about (of all people) Bobby Valentine with my teammember from Japan.

CRAPPPPOLAAAAASSSS game over. sheff struck out with Reyes on 3rd. sonofa. i'm gonna have a cookie and milk to drown my sorrows and try to sleep it off. It'll be a long trip to SF for the team after giving this one away. Maybe I'll get up at 4AM start on Fri to see how they bounce back.
