This pretty much sums up my day.By today I was JUICED for the Yankees opening day. I'd been watching plenty of baseball tonight, and I'd been buying into what the sports casters were saying about my boys. They said that they looked GOOOOOOOD. I'm talking filthy good.
This weekend we had our first real sun, which, as anyone who has ever lived in Oregon knows, means that 1) Everyone has been outside soaking up that 70 degree Sun from sunrise to sunset, 2) Everyone has a nasty sun burn from finally uncovering their neon white skin, 3) Everyone is in the best mood possible, because they're high off sunlight.
I wake up this AM, fresh off my weekend of sun intoxication, promptly dress for work in SHORTS, yeah, thats right. And roll off to work, barely able to stand myself and the anticipation of opening day, and my new ace, CC Sabathia pitching a gem.
Let me just cut to the chase. CC gave up 6 runs in 4.1 innings, his first start without a strike out since July 2005, oh yeah, and the first time EVER that a yankee starter gave up 5 walks with no strikeouts on an opening day. Awesome. I'm pissed. I kick over my co-worker's chair. Don't feel bad for him. He asked for it.
In other news I picked my fantasy baseball team name. HangOutW/YourWangOut, with a picture of Chien-Ming Wang on my profile. And don't worry my first post draft move was to pick up Chein-Ming Wang. Luckily enough, I also have C.C. "I only pitched 4.1 innings in my Yankee Debut" Sabathia on my fantasy team too.
Ken Griffey Jr. hit a homerun in his prodigal return with the Mariners today. I love it. I have a theory that "The Kid" is going to light it up all year long, knocking bombs like he's on roids, only hes NOT of course. It's going to be like magic, he's going to recapture the glory of his youth. And then when A-Rod and Randy Johnson see how well he's doing with their old team, they are going to demand a trade and go back to Seattle also to create a 1995 alumni team. And Edgar Martinez & Jay Buehner (can't spell that) are going to come out of retirement too. And it's going to be amazing.
I guess you can now understand how my over-active imagination led me to believe that the Yankees were going to be awesome this year.

When you say you were "JUICED" for opening day, do you mean in an A-Rod sort of way?
Hahahahaha! I totally thought of you when I saw this shizz on SportsCenter!
I have decided to be a Dodger fan. Laef is not happy about this. He thinks I should be a Cardinal fan because we are getting married.
But, I am from Cali. and live in LA so why would I cheer for the Cardinals?
I know what you're thinking. I am jumping on some bandwagon, but um, there's not some giant bandwagon of awesome-ness with the Dodgers. I just look better in blue than red (hence why i am not going with the Angels).
Yes Allison! Go Dodgers!!!!
yah tough opener, yankees always start off slow,their just lettin the haters hate. your still all hopped up on vitamin d right? but "you do like sportz", if my team loses i get mad all day, thats that corny ass lyric correct?
I was JUICED in the all natural sort of way. Although...when I think back on it, some might have categorized my behaviors yesterday as "roid rage" HMMMM.
A-Ross, you can't just decide to be a Dodger fan. I'm pretty sure there's some kind of initiation. Like a gang style beatdown led by Allysa Milano. Or something.
Charles, you asked for it. See my next post.
when she says juiced she means rockstar juiced, i noticed on our yosemite that soon after i purchased a couple rockstar juiced, she started saying juiced repeatedly describing how stoked she was
WRONG. Juiced is an OSU Football-ism. There was one kid who would say it all the time in this really deep voice, and then it caught on, first just as mimicking that kid, but then it became it's own entity.
