Nobody Girl

I was at this show. How amazing is the live version of Nervous Tic? OK, the whole show was amazing, but that song in particular... damn.

"I have no idea how this happens..."

I told myself that I wasn't bitter when Zito signed with the Giants, but maybe I am subconsciously because I am enjoying his line from the A's game way too much: 4.0 IP, 6 H, 7 BB, 7 ER, 2 SO, 97 pitches.

Since they are playing the O's, I'm stuck with the MASN broadcast even though I pay for Extra Innings. Because I live south of DC. Which apparently is Baltimore.

 

I hate Bed Selig.

Don't get me started on the Saturday FOX blackout.

For anyone who cares, this will be on XM 133 Saturday at 6 p.m. Eastern and Sunday at 10 p.m. Eastern.

Now I can breathe through my nose!

Richie Sexson needs a nickname. Earlier I flipped to the Yanks/Mariners game during a commercial break during the Pistons game, and I think I heard one of them refer to him as "Big Sex".

Big Sexy, perhaps? That's his nickname.

See ya in four to six weeks, Mike Piazza.

At this point, the only thing I can do is laugh at all of these injuries.

Happy birthday! Hope you feel better soon.

I would be lying if I said I thought the A's had a chance in that ninth inning, but I'll definitely take it.

If mammary (sorry...memory) serves I believe there was an auction for that dress she was wearing on e-bay. Proceeds went to some charity or something.....seriously

This is the guy who won it: http://www.lonestarball.com/story/2006/9/13/214714/993

I wouldn't expect the A's to hit for shit. They'll have to get by on their pitching.

I wasn't expecting a whole lot, but watching/listening to the suckiness is annoying the crap out of me. (.654 OPS? Just... wow...) It just feels like anytime the other team scores even one or two runs the game is decided.

But yes, the starting pitching has been amazing, especially considering that Rich Harden is out with one of his semiannual injuries. Only three times has a starter allowed more than three runs, and only once has a starter given up more than three earned runs. The bullpen, on the other hand...

Last week, the A's scored 16 runs against Texas. In seven games since then, they have scored... 16 runs.

It's been forever since I've listened to this.

Good choice.

And for some reason I cannot pick No. 10.

I'm seeing him next month. It'll be my first concert of the year. I've so been slacking.

My first Wilco show (12/8/01 show at the Ogden Theatre in Denver) involved the best road trip I've ever taken.

One of my best friends was about to graduate and go out into the real world, and I was going to go crazy if I didn't see Wilco soon. So she and I and another friend of ours decided to drive to Denver from Wichita as a last hurrah. Some dunderhead had the idea of stopping in Dallas first to see Mercury Rev, and the other two dunderheads thought it was a great idea for some reason.

Anyway, we ended up driving from Wichita to Dallas to Denver to Wichita in a little over 48 hours. By the end of the trip, there had been a towed car, a speeding ticket (I ask you, officer, why would anyone want to take her time driving through western Kansas?), and a little bit of crankiness, but mostly lots of fun. And those Wilco guys weren't half bad, either.

That home run made my freakin' day (which had been pretty crappy, to say the least).

I am not in the Drive By Truckers anymore. Go figure. I wish them luck. I will not answer questions about it.

I always go here: http://www.insound.com/upcomingreleases.php

Damn, that really, really sucks.

Were you at the First Unitarian show? That was excellent.

Has anyone seen Low recently? Are they playing mostly stuff from the new CD?

Before the doors were open, Sue walked through the line and took requests. She wrote the song and the name of the requester on large sheets of paper which were taped down on stage as Jeff's songlist. For the most part, Jeff announced the names of the requesters from the stage.

That was very cool of her.

(Not that I haven't heard that live, but it's been a while.)
