I'm 21 and still alive!

Nooooooooooo!

Was I having a nightmare or is Andy Marte back with the Indians?!

I heart Janette!

El béisbol

I, like many Tribe fans, am more than excited about the start of spring training. It means the official start of baseball season is right around the corner and for me, it can't come at a better time. I will celebrate the day there are other headlines to discuss around the MLB that doesn't involve Alex Rodriguez and steroids. Not to say that's the only thing people are talking about, but it's seriously clogging up the majority of news around baseball. I get it's a big deal and all but the fact that A-Rod was all up in Madonna for a while just makes me more annoyed to even hear his name. She's old! She's also pretty creepy now! I want A-Rod to go away because I am sick of hearing anything involving him anymore and I'm sure the news about him won't stop once the season starts and he sucks and all the Yankees fans are whining and complaining and hating him. That was a lot of "ands" but it's true.

For everyone who gets to go to Arizona this year to see the Tribe, I am extremely jealous. If I was rich I'd say "fuck school" and jet down there myself. The atmosphere seems so relaxed, despite the fact some people are playing for their jobs, but it's a great cruise into baseball season. I'm disappointed I won't be in Cleveland for the summer to go to as many games as I usually attend, but at least I'll have the Clippers now that they're the Indians farm team. Hooray!

I'm eagerly awaiting more news from Goodyear so hopefully I'll have more to praise/bitch about in the next couple of weeks. Before we know it, it'll be OPENING DAY! You'll catch me somewhere in the nosebleeds with a beer.

Insert witty title HERE.

I always get surprised when my stalker counter grows and wonder to myself how so many have accidentally stumbled upon my not so eloquent ramblings about nothing. It was supposed to be related to an actual interest of mine, but whenever I begin typing I get way off topic. I guess I have keyboard ADD. What I don't understand about Blogger is how I have 52 stalkers yet 255 profile views. Maybe it's just me and I'm not that smart, but really I don't care enough to figure it out or change my profile counter to something along the lines of tracking the amount of blog views because A. my blog is not that important and B. I don't think anyone besides my friends can grasp the sarcastic/strange/semi-lame tone of my writing. Or typing. Whatever.

I am currently at my second internship/job FUH-REEZING my fingers off even though we're in the midst of a 30 some degree HEATWAVE! I really should be working right now, but clearly I am not. Perhaps it's because I am absolutely dreading the rest of my day. After this shindig, I must report to my other internship/job which is forcing me to become one of those lame-o's who doesn't go out at night. Instead I'll probably continue my tradition of being a big wino and have a glass or two (there is NOTHING wrong with drinking by yourself, ha!) and do something unproductive like read a book for enjoyment purposes or watch a movie. The only dilemma is there are dos fiestas I am supposed to be attending and I know both hosts will be devastated if they're not graced with my presence.

How many days until Opening Day? I don't feel like counting but two months.. I think. WOO!

Is it Tribe time yet?

Watching the Steelers and Ravens game is something I know will make me angry which is why I'm currently sitting here pondering about whether or not I should bother watching it. Especially if that means going to Joey's to watch it, because his Appalachian "minority" self loves the Steelers. He also likes the Indians, something I find to be IMPOSSIBLE because how can anyone love one Cleveland sport yet betray us to love one of our enemies? I guess that's just me being a sports nazi but being a native Northeast Ohioan with the gift of the Cleveland accent, it doesn't seem right. It's like all those Michigan fans from way up north Ohio who claim they love Michigan because they're so close to the border. If you feel that way then you may as well just move there. People might find you less obnoxious. Now that I've been living in C-Bus since freshman year, I've come to deal with the fact that there are Steelers and Bengals fans everywhere and there's nothing I can do about it except wear my Browns shirt accordingly. Wearing my Browns shirt is the one time I will have the most random people start talking to me. I guess we Browns fans love to be chatty with one another because really, who else can understand the type of pain we go through?

On a happier topic, Indians Opening Day is only a few months away! Is this "next year" or will my dreams of a World Series be swallowed up yet again? As I've stated previously I'm not really sure what to expect but I'm trying to be positive about it. What I am sort of worried about is the whole Garko/Shoppach/Martinez debacle now that the Indians came to an agreement with Kelly Shoppach. Now there's talk of trying Ryan Garko in the outfield during spring training. Yes, the OUTFIELD. Are they kidding? Seriously? Now I love Ryan Garko just as much as the next chick does, but if they put his ass out there during a regular season game I will march down there and give Mr. Wedge a piece of my mind. 2008 for Garko was pretty lackluster so he needs to get his act together before we lose him to some other team where he then gets good. Ugh. Travis Hafner is someone else who I've been pissed about. Sometimes I think 2005-2006 are going to be the only phenomenal time in his career and that everything is just done with him. If he's shaky in the upcoming season again, that will probably be a good thing for Garko. Maybe they'd do some sort of DH/first base swap like they did last year. Really I feel like everyone should have been better last year even though that's probably the most obvious thing I could say. If the Indians can step it up a notch, I think we'll be fine.

Betty is having the best day ever!
