Didn't watch it. I forced myself to go to the movies before I suffocate myself with baseball to death.
But I did record it... haha... had to see our Danny Haren. :)
Something funny on AN ASG thread:

Dan Haren 是先發投手, 其實我有點又愛又怕.
另外 Copa America 這兩天是準決賽, 今天有巴西, 明天有我的第二國家隊 Argentina. 在周末 Chelsea 比賽之前, 是該浸潤一下足球比賽了... 但是好多電影要看. orz
each unfinished story, or if I can extend it to every piece of writing I'm working on, is like a fetus. You carried it in you everywhere you go.
It's not good to carry one, or even more than one, too long. It's not healthy.
I'm now carrying five of them, four stories and one [...]

最近因為 A's 而搞得自己心情很沮喪, chun 就對我說 You love the A's, but have they ever loved you back? 這句話出自於美國版的 Fever Pitch (我不確定是 Hornby 寫的還是改編劇本的人加的.) 真是如當頭棒喝. 要怎麼在對球隊不離不棄的同時, 也不讓它(們)太過影響自己的生活? 不論是藍軍魂還是綠帽迷, 我都算是新到不能再新, 比起那些隨便就如數家珍的老兵差得多了. 不過我一股腦投入的衝勁也是非常熱烈. 所以我決定去看 Hornby 的書, 即使內容是關於 Arsenal, 我可能會看得很痛苦... XD
想要找看看這句話有沒有出現在原版的 Fever Pitch (by Nick Hornby) 裡面, 也許 Hornby 被朋友挑戰說 "You love the Gunners, have they ever loved you [...]

I LOVE it!
The fact that RD Jr is the leading character of the film is sufficient for me to love it. I've always been a big fan of his, even though the number of his films that I've watched is less than 3. (Not even in Ally McBill.) He's just too cute to be true, [...]

好可愛喔
A's fever, but the A's has really let me down and made me down. :(
I need to get myself together and be ready for Chelsea. And maybe give A's and myself a break... like Roger did.
I had dreams in which I heard the broadcaster saying something like, now Kielty batting (I have nothing against [...]
Game 3
pitching: A's former ace, recently resurrected from DL, Rich Harden
Ellis broke King Felix's no hitter.
But still the A's are not hitting enough. Ergh.
And it's sooooooo annoying that a bunch of Mariners fans sat in front us. (One had a Red Sox hat on tho.) And the one wearing a Mariners hat said [...]
Game 2
Pitching: Dan HAREN!!!!!!!!!!
starting lineup: Stew, Kots, Elly, Swish, Cust, DJ, Ellis, Crosby, Scoot, Kendall. Kots is back, apparently he had a stomach flu and now he's feeling better and with Kots back to the lineup, Ellis is pushed back to 6th. Chavez still has a sore back, bleh. The A's suffered a bit with [...]
天使交給洋基, 水兵就交給我們了!
今天下午雙城跟白襪的比賽, 竟然打到 20-14. 我剛好看到最後一個 K (再Gameday上)
再三分就可以破美聯單場比賽積分最多的紀錄了!
上周末跟 Yankees 的比賽, 剛剛晃 MLB 上面 A's 的討論區, 有白目 Yankees 迷來嗆聲, 結果他嗆的內容竟然包括 "你們的高速公路 280, 880 很弱!" 什麼跟什麼啊! XD
那天我們從 McAfee 出來, 看到球場有一面旗幟寫著 AL 20-Win Streak 紀錄. 後來不小心看到資料寫說 2002 年 A's 的20場連勝紀錄中, 第 20 場非常的具戲劇性. 從一開始 11-0 領先, 後來竟然被追到平手, 最後誰的 walk-off HR 12-11 拿下比賽.
昨天 A's 對水兵的比賽, Swisher 打出 HR [...]
無名前幾天忽然來的大動作讓我從此再也不用同時維持兩個一樣的 blog (是說還有其它的 XD)
雖然說我不用搬家 (這就要感謝壞人同學05年就幫我搬了!) 還有一些東西需要收拾一下, 最重要的就是 Altarena Playhouse 的 Armando Fox 的留言了!

i'm the music director for Altarena's "Charlie Brown" - we periodically google to see if any reviews of our shows have appeared - and i have to say i was delighted by your "review"!

This is my guy. My favorite A. Mark Ellis.
and this
短短一個月的時間, 我已經把 Ellie 的身形摸得很清楚了 (呃, 這樣講好像怪怪的.)
他打擊傳球接球甚至是與隊友擊掌的姿態,
我可以在人群中, 或是在看不到背號的照片裡認出他來.
我最喜歡他打擊完那一刻右手停在胸前的樣子, 就像他的人一樣, 沉穩, 優雅, 內斂.
昨天比賽第四局時 Huston Street 到樓上轉播室當 Ray Fosse 還有 Glen Kuiper 的特別來賓.
(He is pretty darn cute, don't you think?)
Huston 回答了一些問題, 不小心就幫 A's 加油. Ray 他們開玩笑說, "嘿~ 你在電視上不能偏心." Huston 不滿, "開什麼玩笑, these are my fellows!" Ray 連忙安撫他, "好啦可以啦... 我也希望每天比賽我們能有一局是偏心的轉播. "
其中他們問了 Huston 與他爸爸的關係. 他爸爸是前美式足球員, 他聊了他爸爸的教育態度. 另外也提到他終於在 Taxes 買了個 condo, 搬出他父母的家. 他之前一直被其他隊員笑, 因為他還跟父母同住. (這就讓我想到 2005 年的 A's 廣告. 裡面 [...]
Preview
This 4-game series is gonna feature Gaudin (applaud), Haren (applaud), Harden (allegedly, applaud anyway) and Blanton (applaud).
So looking forward to it. I'd very much like to see SS' butt being kicked by my team. Offense, wake up and rock the colliseum. Defense, please do live up to your commercials. Go A's!
Game 1

to dislike summer vacation.
今天中午吃飯時,
Flora 很驚喜地對我說: 耶! 以後電腦有問題可以找你囉!?
yo同學: 你現在才知道她是 IT 嗎? =_=
Ethan: 你一直以為她只是拿著地圖到處帶你去玩的人嗎?
XD
(Ethan 說完之後其實我腦袋裡想的是, "我沒 GPS 那麼厲害啊! @_@")
其實很懶得寫, 其中一場是太興奮而無從下筆, 另外兩場則是慘不忍睹到讓我懶得下筆.
Game 1
李唱那買來的 Lenny DiNardo 讓我們 7-11 輸掉. 難得 offense 那麼賞臉, 跑了七分. 卻仍然不敵 DiNardo 在第三局丟掉的六分, 還有之後牛棚穩定地放火.
Game 2
7/3 Independence Day eve, Joe Blanton pitching. I've been wanting to watch an A's game ever since I fell in love with A's and get to know each one of the Athletic - Ellis, Swisher, Haren, Blanton, [...]
覺得 LIVE 的 Lightning Crashes 很好聽 (嗓音, 調調...等) 去查了一下他們的 tour dates, 結果發現他們這個夏天跟 Counting Crows, Collective Soul 一起巡迴耶!!
Counting Crows!!!!!!
Collective Soul!!!!!!
兩個我最愛的 C 團 (跟 Creed 並列三大 C 愛團, 但是 Creed 已經解散了)
但是他們都不來北加 (還好不是已經來過了, 不然我會嘔死)
8/1 在 Buffalo, 可是 Moni 在台灣 >

lightning crashes, a new mother cries
her placenta falls to the floor
the angel opens her eyes
the confusion sets in
before the doctor can even close the door
lightning crashes, an old mother dies
her intentions fall to the floor
the angel closes her eyes
the confusion that was hers
belongs now, to the baby down the hall
oh now [...]
讓我某一天不小心三點半才睡的罪魁禍首.
A's 有很多很有趣的廣告, 有些讓我重覆看好幾次都還不過癮. 除了形象廣告之外, 還有 A's 活動的廣告. 像是煙火之夜, Root bear float 之夜等等.
2007 Commercials
我很喜歡的有:
Ambidexterity (左右開弓在 Ellis 面前 show off 的 Swisher)
Coincidence (關於奧克蘭運動家對的巧合... 還是命定?
本來覺得這個很無聊的, 但看到 Chelsea 的結果之後, 不得不說它還真是貼切啊...
而我自己則是...
然後...
Oakland A's 這是怎麼回事? XD
足球現在離我好遙遠的感覺 (廢話, 每天都在看棒球 orz)
不過桌上擺著笑容滿面的 Mark Ellis, 我看到牆上貼著的 JT 海報 (courtesy of J) 還是會覺得... "Ahh, this is my guy." 然後腦海中浮現他在球場上掌控並指揮大局的氣勢風範... 綠蔭草地上的熱血.
Hmm, 我想七月中去看 Chelsea 友誼賽之前還是先復習一下 Chelsea 的比賽好了.
有沒有哪場比較推薦的啊, 不然我又會去看對 Barca 戰了...
手邊有, 10月對港嘴 (疑疑, Niko 有上嗎?), CC 對課本, 10月對 Sheffield, CC對Villa, 11月對Watford, CC對Wycombie, 二月對米堡, CC final, 四月對熱刺, 歐冠主場對利記. 歐冠對 Barca (這兩年的四場都有)
(話說板上最佳比賽什麼時候才要開票啊!)
但是星期天快要過去了.
星期六起床, 看完 A's 7-0 打敗邪惡 Yankees 之後吃個遲午餐就去參加靈糧特會 (其實早上九點就開始了 orz) 玩到十一點多才回到家, 很累, 沒多久就睡了. 因為今天早上 A's v Yankees 又是 day game, 所以我去作早堂主日, 再趕回家看 A's ace Danny Haren 投球. (看到板上 A 說 Haren 今天爆了, B回, 這樣叫爆? 再有人回, 這對 Haren 來說是爆了. 看起來就覺得很得意. 雖然說這是他這季投的最不好的一場... 另外, 為什麼在他爆的時候才有 run support 啊... XD)
Anyways, 這場比賽比較長, 一來是 A's 打線大爆發, 一來是 Haren 也小爆了一下, 給出了五個得分. [...]
Game 1 2-1 Yankees
Mark Ellis 又一美技, 沒收 Jeter 的 base hit + RBI. 百看不膩啊!
請看 Jun29 OAK @ NYY
Game 2 7-0 A's
Ellis is moved back up to 2nd. I like to see him batting 2nd. Not that I don't like Kotsay.
今天的比賽看得很舒服. 請綠帽再接再厲! :)
(Kendall HR 就會有好事發生呢.
