This guy has been such a tease... but I think it looks official. Ken Griffey Jr. is coming back to Seattle. (sources here, here, here, here, here...) Remember- Griffey is not the same dog that ran away from Seattle 10 years ago... now he's kinda.. lumpy. It'll be fun to have him, but meh. I grew up emulating this guy playing baseball... probably the reason why I struck out, and popped up so many times... ha.

Improv Everywhere makes me happy...

I thought I'd share some of my favorite "Improv Everywhere" videos.. check out their site.

Okay..

"High Five Escalator"



"Best Game Ever" (this one had a mild inspiration on my 'Wear Blue" idea)



"Slow-Mo Home Depot"



I could probably be satisfied posting everything they've done... but I'll stick with those 3 for now... Check out their YouTube Channel: here, and their Website: here.

Enjoy!

Wear Blue, what happened.

Last Friday, Was our Youth Groups "Wear Blue" event. It went so great, here is what we did. We all got dressed up in crazy blue clothes, and all showed up at local high school basketball game (Meadowdale), stood right behind the student section, and cheered along with their students. Sounds kind of crazy and weird. I know. It really all went great, It was a small group that night, but that is okay, We showed up during the 1st quarter and found a great pocket right behind the Student Cheering Section to stand in. As soon as we got there almost all of them turned around and asked the obvious question "Who are you!?!" I answered that we were from a youth group (etc.). They thought it was weird.. and crazy. I just explained we wanted to come out to a Meadowdale game, and cheer for the Mavericks.. Nothing more than that, we were just having fun. So throughout the first half The Youth Group and The Students co-opted in leading "D-FENCE" cheers and they even taught us some of their own cheers. It was good stuff.

Right towards the end of the 2nd quarter, one of their administrators came up to one of the Youth Group kids and asked them "What School are you from," the student being honest said "I'm from Kamiak." Kamiak is one of Meadowdales rivals, so the lady had the thought proccess of thinking we were all from Kamiak, coming to start a fight or something with the Meadowdale students.. hm. Anyways, she made us move to the "Visitor" section... We obeyed, but we could tell she wanted to kick us out of the Gym. We sat only a few yards away from their students and still cheered along, but it wasn't quite as fun.

At Halftime, something cool happened. We were sitting their in our "Visitors" section when 2 or 3 of their students ran across the court and seemed to plead with their administrators to let us come sit with them.. I obviously don't know everything they talked about because I don't have Sonic Earz, but I knew it was the main topic of conversation. About 5 minutes later, the assistant principal came over and talked with me. I explained who we were and what were we were doing, and she seemed confused, but absolutely thrilled. So, she let us sit back with the Student Section. When we got back in our original place, instead of standing behind them, the Students of Meadowdale invited us to stand with them, and we cheered all together for the rest of the game.. a game that Meadowdale ended up winning handily. At the end of the game some of the Students invited us back for their final home game this Wednesday. It was really neat. All this went way better than I could of imagined, its cool.

Anyways. It was a lot of fun, and I'm most likely going to the game on Wednesday.

Follow up to "Nooooo!"

Today- Peter Gammons (he's like the Abraham Lincoln of Baseball Reporting) Interviewed Alex Rodriguez at his home in Miami and Mr. Rodriguez admitted to taking Performance Enhancing Drugs from 2001-2003. While I'm still pretty bummed that he cheated, I'm glad that he came clean, and just cleared all the doubt drama, unlike those other clowns such as Bonds and Clemens.

anyways.

This still sucks.

NOOOOOOOOO!

It is a rarity that I get emotionally worked up over Sports, because I completely realize that it is a game, no more, no less. Even rarer is for me to get worked up over the off field drama, mainly because ESPN is the only real 24/7 sports network, and they have the ability to over cover, over blow, and annoy the he!l out of everyone... because they can.

But I do not lie.. When I heard that Alex Rodriguez tested positive for steroids ,I could really only 2 things.. I looked to the heavens and shouted "NOOOOOOOOO!" with my fists shaking in the air, and I was hoping that this is all some big mistake, maybe it was a different Alex Rodriguez, or some bad prank. I'm not a big A-Rod fan, I realize that he left the Mariners for the sole reason to make more money... But during the end of the "Steroid Era" in baseball, A-Rod was THEE poster child for pure, hard working, (not steriod) Talent. He was the guy, when Bonds, Sosa, Palmerio, McGwire and so many more were all being ousted for cheating, Alex Rodriguez was the one I was SURE of.. didn't cheat. And now... even he might be tainted.

Again.. I hardly ever get worked up about sports.. but this time.. I'm kinda sad.

Blah.

I took this at Kyle and Lisa's wedding last summer,
