GAME SEVEN and the home field advantage!
Well with an off-day today, I've been enjoying the creature comforts of my home here in Dallas...Of course it's cool that Tuesday will be our 3rd "opening day" since our 2 previous series were the home openers for the Mariners and Angels- I'm hoping we get some sort of fly-by from an F16 or something.
It's been since just before Valentine's Day since I've been home, and with an entire day to kill, I've been doing all the laundry I never got to in Spring Training, and marvelling at the clarity of my big Apple Cinema display- which is to say watching youtube videos while I surf the web.
The following were my highlights from home:
Winning 2 out of 3 against the heavily favored Angelenos
Hanging out with my brother- Ryan aka Rdub of Take the Crown. New CD in may...
Getting some grub from the following restaurants:
Taco Loco, Las Barcas, Sugar Shack, Ocean Club
Getting some a cool hoodie and some T's from the awesome people @ Hurley
Meeting up with James and Fabryce to get a tour at GMG Racing
Winning my heats at K1 karting
Rental car tour of Orange County with Jacky, Wayne and Mark from Ruf Autocentre
all in all, it was an okay trip, some low-spots included a few goofball fans in seattle throwing snowballs at our bullpen and towards our left fielder- albeit with 2 arm strength on the MLB scouting scale. Also I heard that one of my favorites (charlize theron) was attending the AFI film fest in Dallas while we were playing in anaheim- not a tragedy but a slight disappointment no doubt.
Tomorrow is our 7th game of 2008. It'd be nice to get through it with a win and get above .500...
see ya at the stadium!
Please tell me you washed SOME of your Spring Training laundry during spring training...

Hey CJ,
Beautiful doubleheader.
Just reading through your "Read about me" section.
I'd like to hear more about straightedge. If you have thoughts gathered, make a blog entry about it. I haven't been drinking for the first time in awhile and it's challenging.

Nice pair of saves today, C.J. :) And only 17 pitches. Fantastic.

I was at the game in Anaheim on Saturday and all I have to say is the Angels fans are not very NICE! I am looking forward to seeing you guys in Oakland and in Texas this August, where the fans are going to A LOT nicer.
Nice pair of saves today!
Keep up the great work

Hey C.J.,
You got some tough calls against the Jays, last night. I thought that you were painting the outside corner. Good, for me, as a Jays fan. But, I felt bad for you. Sorry man.

You are the man. You remind me of a young John Wetland mixed with a hybrid of younger Tom Sellek and Harrison Ford.
Keep it up man and GO RANGERS!

As a Red Sox fan, obviously I was thrilled about this weekend's series, but I was kind of rooting for you after you blew the save to do well (nice, huh). I think it's really cool that you actually write this blog yourself. I know that Youk kind of does this interview type thing and someone else actually writes it for him. You seem very down to earth, and I wish you the best of luck when not playing the Red Sox.

Well, I officially have you C.J. in my fantasy pool. I had to trade Shane Victorino for you. I know you won't let me down.
