MARINERS WIN!
I had an interview today. I think it went well? I guess I'll find out later.
It ended a little before 4pm, so I went to the library after it, and sat there reading about Roger Maris for a while. I had wanted to read the Sadaharu Oh biography I saw there last time I was there, but it wasn't there this time. They did have Warren Cromartie's biography, but I didn't notice it until I was putting back the Maris one... I guess I'll read that next time.
Walked down to the Mariners - Blue Jays game. Drew was running late so I just left him a ticket in Will Call and went in. Got my Ivar's and got up to my seat in time for lineups and everything. The guys who have the seats next to me were actually both there today, so I talked to them for a while, though I still think they think I'm some sort of freaky obnoxious girl. Drew showed up about ten minutes after the game started.
It was a great game! I ♥ PAT BORDERS! If I were Batgirl, Pat Borders would be my Boyfriend Of The Day every day, except for when... wait, I just realized, nobody else on the Mariners is really worth being Boyfriend of the Day. Yeesh. No wonder I've taken to rooting for other teams. Give me a John Olerud, a Joe Mauer, a Mark Teixeira, a Hank Blalock, a Jarrod Washburn, a Brendan Donnelly, a Jason Kendall, a Jason Varitek, a Mike Myers, hell, a Jason Bay or a Pat Burrell or a Jim Edmonds or David Eckstein... just... players I can actually care about and want to succeed! I guess I am kinda pulling for Randy Winn and Raul Ibanez this year -- they do consistently well but never really get the press for it. And I'm hoping Aaron Sele and Gil Meche can keep up their last few starts. Actually, come to think of it, Jeremy Reed is probably the best candidate for Backup Boyfriend of the Day at this point. If he continues to play like this he could very well end up AL Rookie of the Year.
Oh, so anyway, the Mariners won tonight, 3-0. Pat Borders was 2-2 and scored a run. Boone looked like a total slowpoke on the basepaths, getting caught running twice, though he did have a nice triple. Ichiro made some excellent plays, but sadly I think we're too used to those by now. However, we're not used to the Mariners winning by now, so that was nice. I need to go to another Tacoma game sometime (prolly when Oren is up here next weekend).
After the game Drew and I went to hang out with one of his friends; we sat around and ate some food and talked about 80's music and stuff. Was fun. Then Drew gave me a ride home, and I've been catching up on all the online things I ignored all day.
