i think i had better shots than this one, but this is like the birds eye view using my phone's camera. this was how close we were to Nick Markakis, and i enjoyed every minute of the game just observing him when he takes his position on right field. it is so different when u see him on TV coz u dont get to see how sullen it is to be there when there are no balls flying to your side. me and Browser were wondering if he moved for the last couple of minutes, and the other thing was Luke Scott, the night's left fielder has been getting the balls all to his side, so that left Nick to chew his gum most of the time.

but that is of course when he's in the outfield. when he was batting, he made me stand up twice when he hit doubles on both times. he was part of what brings the magic and the energy back to the audience. he was part of the runs accumulated for tonight's win, but the night's hero is Melvin Mora who wrapped up the nights 12 inning game (and made us all go home at last) with a home run after two swings (as i recall). it was funny that at this point my energy level was waning, so i shouted, "Melvin, just hit the f***ing ball!" and a little after, i hear Browser tell me, "he's due!" and was he so due for it and hit that f***ing home run! we jumped and high fived, and i shouted too much it hurt my throat. but woohoo! MelMo hit a f***ing home run!!!

its a great day compared to a sad loss the other night, and a lot of the Orioles fans were so lively and energetic that we were able to sustain five or six waves during the ninth inning. beat that Mets fans!

ps: in two nights, im thankful also that tonight i saw Kevin Millar play for the Blue Jays and was able to shout boo to him.

clutter free

for the past weeks i have been erasing messages on my email and facebook inbox. it was easy because it wasn't a lot, so i just read through them, digest a bit, and spit out a whole lot before i even erase them. but it was only during the last 20 minutes before i started writing this blog post when i erased a lot of messages from my phone. i erased a lot of crap, but i didnt get to erase more than a handful of them still. why? coz it was in two separate folders on my saved messages. i dont know why i even saved them. it was the good and the bad messages. i dont know why i let them get stuck there.

cute and crazy

James Franco is such a cutie. =) this would've been a meaningful commencement speech.

Missing: the real Jeremy Guthrie

pitching between 88-95 mph tonight isn't a Jeremy Guthrie style. he is the ace pitcher, yet he is performing like he's from the bullpen. to add to damage is that he has walked batters and cannot throw strikes. its just too painful to watch that i cannot sit still and watch him get through another inning. tonight, i stopped watching after the third inning. i cannot stand thinking that by the end of the game, the O's will lose because of him.

plus, Brian Roberts isn't playing today.

update: Guthrie got replaced by Hendrickson in third inning.

PS: since when did u notice Huff's moustache?

looking at this side from the observation deck makes you appreciate the beauty that Baltimore has to offer.

I see you!!!

yes! beneath all the buildings and structures i saw during my visit to the Top Of The World Observation Level in the WTC, Baltimore, this is one that I had to really take a picture of. its good that the zoom on my p/s camera was able to take this, even as grainy as it looks. =)

they also watched the Mets game

JLo with hubby Marc Anthony watched the Mets vs Rays game, but they watched it on a different day. im luckier (i think) coz when i watched the Mets, they won. they lost on that Sunday game.

the revenge to last night's comeback

CALL TO THE BULLPEN!!!
when Brad Bergesen had to retire and Jim Johnson went up the mound, i knew it was bad news. JJ has been bad news the past games, and this was major bad news. with a third of an inning to him, he walked Pedroia and caused Youkilis to get a homer. eff it! call to the bullpen, it was closer George Sherrill. George was great last night. you really felt the intensity and the need for a good closer. George had the answer, but today, he blew off the third out. he got first two outs, but had allowed two runs afterwards thus making the game tied at 5. damn it! additional two innings, with Ellsbury getting a run on the 11th inning due to Lugo's RBI hit. damn it!!!

i lost today. it feels so sad when u thought it was just an inch close to a win.
