San Francisco Giants.

As you noticed, I did not put an exclamation point. I'm still not sure how I feel about the Giants at this moment. Well here's the situation...when I first became an Oakland A's fan, it was all I really knew, mind you I was young, I had no idea really any other team existed. (Perhaps I still feel this way-I'm not entirely sure) As I grew up I noticed there was a lot of Orange and Black surrounding me (I was born in Baltimore so my family had the Cal Ripken-esque mentality) but this was different.

I legitimately did not understand what was happening. The eye-rolls, and crap talking became regular. So eventually all the Giants fans did for me was annoy me. I couldn't stand it. I'm sure it ultimately made me hate the Giants as well. Which in all actuality is not fair, I can honestly say that team has some talent. I just do not like fans who only like a team because they have a trophy that truly ruffles my feathers. What happens the next year when they don't get that WS Championship? Do you abandon them?

Maybe I'm bitter, I'm not really sure. All I know is, what's done is done. I'm so unbelievably proud of my Oakland Athletics I can't even put it into words. I'm sure I'm just rambling. Obviously you can't make the World Series if you do not have some sort of talent, you sure as heck can't win it either.

However, I can honestly say this one photo absolutely touched my heart. And looking at some of his tweets Brandon Crawford seems like such a phenomenal individual and this absolutely brought a tear to my eye. “How can you not be romantic about baseball?”

 

Cannot. Stop. Smiling. And quite honestly, I just don't think there will be a reason to for a while. What's up Oakland Athletics?!

I remember not too long ago saying to myself "Just give it time, the A's are going to make it!" Mind, you there were cusswords in between because I was usually defending myself against some (since 2010 of course) Giants fan. Either way...whatever. I began to cry. Half because I was happy and the other because I could not be there. Made me devastated. I can't even begin to explain how happy I am for the Oakland Athletics! You guys absolutely deserve it. I have always been honored to be an A's fan, but this, just wow. I now know what Beane meant when he said "How can you not be romantic about baseball?" I'm in love with the guys all over again. (Don't tell my boyfriend)

 

 

 

Mike Trout...a hard fish to catch

Ok, so here's the thing...

I became an A's fan when I was 12 years old. Daddy got free tickets (I believe because he was the president of the Little League at the time) and RIGHT as we sat down Mr. Eric Chavez (who after checking the program has the same birthday as me) went yard. It was beautiful. Then a web-gem outfield catch was made by Jermaine Dye (I think). Can you really get better than that? No you can't...now Mr. Chavez even though, like everyone else (Sorry Swisher) you ended up on the Yankees, I have you to thank for my challenging, yet still hopefully love for the Elephants.


Circa 2012. THIS GUY...



Simmer down ladies...he's taken. Anywho...like I was saying. This guy, he's like the Christian Soriano of baseball (this was specifically for my beautiful female readers) he's young, and FIERCE! He can catch anything within a 50 ft radius and make it look sick. Let's just say if it was a grounder to the 3rd basemen Trout would be on it. He is also very Andrew McCutchen-ish on the bases. (Ladies...picture Ryan Reynolds without his shirt on...you'd steal his shirt so nobody else would)

What I'm trying to say is...Mr. Trout, with all do respect, let the A's have a shot. (Which Trout is actually legally able to do as of today). Sportscenter's Top 10 will never be the same.

Over and out.

Tonight should be interesting. My team vs. my other half. Dun Dun Dunnnnn

GERMANY

We all have the work friend who is amazing to say the least. The individual that is the reason you go to work everyday. Well ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to Hanna (I call her Banana) along with a numerous amount of things. I would die without her...



Our country is called Germany. (If it's the Germany you're thinking of you are wrong.)

Mind you, Hanna is a psychic, but like in the movie Wedding Crashers, she is only a psychic when it comes to Starbucks coffee. Bible-she can look at you and figure out what drink you want. However today I was disturbed when she told me it did not look like a green tea frappucino kind of day. WTF Bro!
