Confessions of a Baseballaholic

Well it has been another week but I am updating.  I have been incredibly busy this past week during the most important things anyone could ever think of and by that I mean that last weekend I got Greek on DVD and have basically not stopped watching it since.  And now while I continue to avoid the topic of baseball considering thing did not got to well this week for either of my teams so instead I will give you a list that a friend and I came up with.  These are the 3 TV characters that we think embody the perfect man (in no particular order):

1. Chuck Bass-Gossip Girl
2. Cappie-Greek
3. Logan Huntzberger (sp?)-Gilmore Girls

Okay so now for that topic i have been avoiding.  Since neither the Yankees or the Dodgers had great weeks I want to discuss something else.  Some random things first I still like Brian Bruney even after his comments I do not think that they were the most appropriate thing to say but I also think that K-Rod did not react well.  Now I am not saying that it was K-Rod’s fault and it wasn’t, but it is one of things like when you are a kid a someone hits you and you hit back.  Where yes they were provoking you but that doesn’t make what you did right.  It is one of those things where it is both peoples fault.  Next note the only reason the Yankees lost two games to the Nationals was because they knew that the Nationals needed their weekly win and they also did not want Manny Acta to get fired so they gave them an extra win, or at least that is how I see it.  Last random note I have decided to become an umpire groupie.  Yes I said umpire groupie I already know who a bunch of the umpires are and I want to learn the rest of them and whatever else I can learn about them.

Now on a more serious note in the NY Times sports section their was an article about my favorite relief pitcher, Scott Proctor, and I learned something, as did anyone else who read the article, that I did not know, Scott is now a recovering alcoholic.  He believes that is why he was traded to the Dodgers and he knows that it is why he does not remember a lot of moments that have occurred over the past few years.  He is now attending AA meetings and has been sober for some time thanks to Mariano Rivera for encouraging him to do so.  Even though he is on the DL and out for the remainder of the season, after his surgery last month, he went to Dolphins Stadium this weekend to watch the series and catch up with his old club.  In the article it said that Scotty hopes to rehab well and come back and be able to pitch again and that when his contract is up at the end of the season he would love to come back to New York and be a Yankee again.

.peace.alie.

p.s.  I still love Scotty and think that it is great that he is able to get help and I think that anyone else in his situation should not be scared to ask for help and support.
p.p.s. Happy Belated Fathers Day!!!
p.p.p.s.  At this time next week I will officially be a High School Graduate!!!! (Before that but yeah whatever).
p.p.p.p.s. I got the title from the fact that I am currently watching Confessions of a Shopaholic (amazing movie).
