I was in my car at 7.11 p.m. or was it 7.14 p.m. I had just started the car and was waiting for it to warm up. Then I hear that Barry Bonds is up at bat. There were two others already on and then he hits it. I hear it and think to myself I have to remember this moment. I have to. This is something special.
I am really excited to get home to watch this game. I had a good feeling, but I should have prepared for the worse because that did happen. It looked good. Then it got ugly. REAL UGLY REAL FAST.
I was sad to see a loss. This is worse than last year. Last year it was Steve Finely who is also killing the A's. The short version is we have to win tomorrow or it's over. We have to win all the rest too. The Padres have to lose 2/3 games and lose the next 2 to us. I hate this math stuff.
But John 3.16 please help the Giants.

705!
I would have to say the best thing about Sunday had to be the company I was with. It was a beautiful day. The temperature was just perfect. I don't think I would have changed anything. I was able to use the chant that I came up with for Jeff Kent. The chant was, "WASH YOUR TRUCK!" I know he heard it too. I had someone confirm for me that I was heard on the TV and I did hear myself on the radio as well. When your voice can travel that much and that fast it just has to be scary. I never knew that my voice could be that "lethal."
The extra special treat was that I could spend it with friends who are just as passionate about baseball like myself. I know that sounds really corny, but that's the honest truth. When you have friends that are willing to make fools of themselves then it's like we're one big happy family.
The highlight was being able to heckle Jeff Kent twice. He was at the plate and someone was trying to steal and he never struck out or even hit the ball to create an out. I wish I knew what was running through his head at the time. It's probably something like, "Who is this girl that keeps heckling me? How old is she?"
I also did heckle at Jason Phillips too. He complained about his "paycheck" and therefore, when he was up at the plate I gave it to him. I chanted, "PAYCHECK!" I think I even said, "Did you use your paycheck to buy the nice new helmet?" I know I am one cruel girl who's only five (5) feet tall, but I have a set of lungs. I haven't lost my voice once at a game, but hey anything is possible.
I was also able to see Barry Bonds hit number 705. That's something special. I was there when he hit 703 and 704. He is a special guy with much talent. Even if he wasn't with the whole team this year, and only just came back it's good that he did. HE has brought a whole new life to the team. I know that sounds a bit strange, but that's just my take on it. Baseball is a sport where you don't know the outcome right away. Anything can change with the hit or with some sort of mistake in the pitching.
After the game I was able to send time with friends relaxing because we had something to celebrate. We wish that the Nationals could have taken the win over the Padres, but that wasn't the case. I know this sounds a bit juvenile, but man I wish we did have a sweep. This series was similar to the last one because we almost took it as well. The umpiring crew wasn't that great. At least it was the opener that they won and not any of the other games.
The pins they gave out say, "I WAS THERE." It's kind of neat to think about it. You'll never lose it, but with number 700 all they did was just put a sticker on your ticket. If you lose the ticket then that was it. I really wanted one of those, but I have it on tape I think.
I know I scare everyone, but I'm really harmless. I am all talk, but if you get me mad enough I might just BITE!

DOWN IN FRONT! BUTT IN CHAIR!
I was sitting in section 214 and there were four (4) Dodger girls. They were wearing wife beaters that were tie dyed. They looked bad. They tried to rub stuff in our faces, but I fought back vocally. I know that sounds strange, but that's me. They would "yell", "Let's go Dodgers!" and with just me alone I'm sure I did a louder, "Let's go Giants!" I know that's not something to brag about, but when you have lungs you have lungs.
The scoreboard said, "Happy birthday Orlando Cepeda!" I thought that was sweet. And then later on they actually showed him and he was sitting right behind us! I had no clue! The whole time I'm trying not to be amusing (OK I am, but I'm just really into the game) he was probably having a few laughs. I am unaware of when he left the booth, but it would be nice to know that maybe he thought some of the comments were funny.
There were two boys I think sitting in the second row and they kept looking back seeing who was shouting or yelling. It was I. I know that's hard to believe, but if you're ever at a game with me I can get quite vocal. Of course, I keep everything clean and funny if I can.
Well, little did I know that Willie Mc Covey (that's why the cove is called Mc Covey cove) was in the booth that was labels KTVU Fox. I saw him and I was really in awe. I am sitting here yelling and screaming and they're probably thinking, "who does that voice belong to? I am glad she wasn't around when I was playing or she would be brutal."
It was just nice to know that two great players were behind me. I have no idea what they were thinking, but I'm sure they were glad they came to the park that day.
Ray Durham hit a ball that went into the cove. We all thought it was fair. After much review it was foul. It would have been nice if it was fair, but none the less we still won the game. It was one of those perfect days, but the weather wasn't too great, but it had a happy ending.

704...
How do I describe what happened at the game? Let's start at the beginning before I was at the game. I had a late night on Thursday and I was tired. I know I was because the game on Thursday was a total loss. The only fun thing was picking on the pitching coach/bull pen coach.
Back to Friday. I had gone to work and I was dead tired. As I got home I had to help my brother with packing and anything else that he needed. I then left and headed for the park. As I was on the train I fell asleep. I was tired. I needed a nap to get me through the night. Then after when I woke up and got to the park I was hungry. All I could do was think about eating. Too bad my choice was turkey.
It was funny because when Barry Bonds hit the home run I was eating. I cared more about eating than I did about the game. OK that's wrong, but keep in mind I had a liquid lunch and that only filled me up temporarily. I know that's not an excuse, but still.
The game was great. We won and I was happy. Afterwards we were tied back with the Dodgers.

GO GIANTS!
I can't believe this game put me to sleep. I mean it really did. I didn't get enough sleep and then when it was getting good (M. Alou's catch to rob J. Kent) I decided I saw enough. Also at that point I believe the score was tied. It was around the 7th inning I believe.
I then went to have dinner and didn't find out what happen because I think my "husband" pitched, but walked a batter. I saw the 9th inning and it made me nervous. I saw Benitez catch the ball and he looked like he wanted to run it to first. That was purely deja-vu again. He had to face Hee-Seop Choi and that made me really nervous. He kept swinging and stuff. Finally he struck out and I let out a sigh of relief. The tying runs were on and if he hit a home run it would have meant a Dodger win. I am glad that didn't happen.
Tomorrow I will see if I'm able to work or not. Most likely, I'm going to take the day off.
Also, I think I was more tired because I watched Major League II before the game started. That might have been motivation for the team?

How can you feel worse?
I woke up this morning with a throat worse than yesterday and not as painful as Friday. I just wonder if it's how I slept last night. I feel awful today. I woke up and thought this has to be some sort of nightmare right? Depending on how I feel later tonight I'm taking tomorrow off. I can't be in the office sick. I know that I seem selfish, but I want to get better. I don't want this to drag on for two weeks, which is about the usual recovery time.
About this time last year, or in October, I went to work sick. That's different. Now I do need time to recover. Health first. Work second. I really do feel miserable.

I've got a cold...
I feel like I've just gotten beaten over the head. I think it's a sign that I need to take off a day. The fact that I worked about six days this week which means I worked at least a day extra means I'm over working. The days that I worked overtime I didn't think about it.
I woke up today in the afternoon. I woke up at 4.00 p.m. Yes this isn't a joke. I did get up about 8 something in the morning to use the restroom and then it was back to sleep. My nose was stuffed and I didn't want to get up. My left eye hurts and I just didn't think that I should be up this much. Tonight will probably be the same. I will sleep about the same time about 1.00 a.m. listening to the Midnight Replay and then just passing out.
I do have to get up earlier tomorrow because the game is in the afternoon. I don't want to miss the game or at least get up when the game is on. I just want to sleep and just do nothing. That is how my weekend will be. Sleep and rest. I don't want to get the "mommies" at work sick. It's not funny, but I think I might need Tuesday off. Screw WORK!
