Friday I went to my first game of the season and I have to say it went much better than the first game I went to last season.  Both games were against the Indians and both were 1 of a 4 game set.  The difference, last years the Yankees lost 22-4 and this time the Yankees won 8-2.  I’d have to say this was a much better first game of the season for me.

Other than the fact that the Yankees won I got to see Ramiro play third base (and shortstop but he started at third =D) and while I would have loved to see Cervelli play I am glad he finally got a day he deserved it.  And I got to see Phil Hughes pitch for the first time since the ALDS in 2007 (the game he came in, in relief of Roger Clemens and got the only win for the Yankees in the 2007 play-offs).   All and all that was a great game and a great start to Memorial Day weekend for me.

And then there was yesterday which very possibly will go down in history as the craziest day to ever occur in MLB.  We will go in order of occurance since that seems the most logical.  First there was the Yankee//Indians game which just looking at the box score it was a crazy game and then if you look at the bottom of the third inning it was even crazier.  At this point everyone knows that David Huff got hit in the side of his head with a line drive off of the bat of A-Rod.  From what everyone can tell at this point he is fine which is really good, and I am glad he is not hurt.  I will even give a few points to A-Rod for getting in his car and driving right to the hospital after the game was over, even if at that point Huff was already back at the stadium in a situation like that, the thought really does count.

Second crazy of the day goes to the Angels’ Kendry Morales, who broke his leg after hitting a walk-off grandslam and is possibly our for the whole season.  I really don’t have anything to say about this except how strange it is.  Third and last of the crazies yesterday Roy Halladay pitched the second perfect game of the season.  This is awesome and all, like all perfect games and no hitters, but there is something about Halladay that just really bothers.  It’s not that he wears a Phillies uniform or anything like that I just am really not a fan.

On a little side not both perfect games this season have been against the Florida teams.

A few thoughts I have had recently and would like to share:

♥. Have you seen Joe Girardi’s arms? They are HUGE, they look like those inflatable arms in that Spongebob episode, don’t pretend you don’t know what I am talking about.

♥. On the topic of Joe Girardi, I am not a fan.  There is just something about him, not his arms, that just bothers me.

♥. Since Joe West is making headlines yet again I feel that since I am the Umpire Groupie it is my job to comment on it.  Now since I am slightly confused about what exactly happened yesterday I am not going to discuss it.  Instead I have another comment about the incident that occurred during the first Yankees//Red Sox series of the season.  The comments he made about the teams and baseball in general were completely uncalled for and shouldn’t be tolerated.  If any player said stuff like that about an unmpire he would be fined and as much as I love umpires they shouldn’t be treated any differently.  And as far as I can tell he has not been fined which is not fair at all.

♥. Boy Meets World is the best show ever created and I miss it.

♥. That last one had nothing to do with baseball I just can’t think of the other baseball related comments I had…oh well.

p.p.s. “No I think it is the opposite of funny.  I think it is wood.”–The great Topanga Lawrence and Cory Matthews, everybody.

It’s been a little while but I am back and have finished my internship so until camp starts I may even be here for a little and update on a more regular basis. However, anyone who knows me can tell you that probably won’t actually happen.

Anyway less about me and more about baseball. So I had this great post going about the Dodgers are picking it up winning six straight, they’re only three games back and everything seems to finally be clicking, and then yesterday happened.  Andre Eithier broke (or fractured, not really sure what the difference is) his finger during batting practice yesterday.  And I can tell you all the regular stuff he is leading either the MLB or the NL in almost all offensive categories (“including nose hair” lol) and has been a driving force in the Dodger line-up.  But that would just be boring and there is no point in writing a blog if I am just going to spit out the same information that everyone else and not have any opinion so here is goes: I think that as the Dodgers proved yesterday they can win without him in the lineup but I think that if he is out of the lineup for an extended period of time the Dodgers lineup is going to suffer. They were just getting everything together and he is one of the main players in that.  Not to mention is wonderful good looks and all =).

Other things I have comments on:
-Nick Johnson needs to shave his porn stache immediately, it’s not like it is making hit better like Giambi’s did a couple of years ago.

-I am sick of hearing everyone, Michael Kay, talk about what a big deal it is that the Yankees don’t have Johnson right now.  I mean come on the only thing he was doing that was somewhat useful was getting on base his.  His batting average is still well below .200 and he didn’t have an overwhelming amount of RBIs or anything.  I honestly think that the only thing it inconviencing is that they no longer have a designated designated hitter and now they have to rotate players around to find someone to fill that spot.

-Unrelated to most things but still related to baseball and something I have thoughts on, I am in love with the Mets new first basemen Ike Davis ♥.

-I think that Fransico Cervelli is absolutely adorable and everybody, Michael Kay, needs to stop hating on him because he is young and doing amazing and at this rate will probably take over for Jorge Posada soon since Jorge is old and starting to slow down.

-And in case you can’t tell by the other “thoughts” I am so not liking Michael Kay right now. If you follow my tweets you can see my Michael Kay rant 140 characters at a time, just remember reading it in a sarcastic voice is key.

-In order to leave this post on a happy note and not a Michael Kay one:

Ramiro Pena ♥

“…I turn it around.
I’m making it back,
I’m not gonna drown.
I’m taking a stance.
I won’t miss a chance.
I want you to see
I’m not scared to dance.”

That is all.
