So I finally check blogs and wow, everyone still exists. I have to comment on Garrett's and can't just put this in the comments field. 1st - Get your own blog and make it all manly with pictures of meat, guns, and sweaty athletes...."I am a man I'm 40!!" quotes would work -- reference to the Oklahoma State Coach...anyone? Bueller?
2. Predictions--
Garrett's Zack's
NL West
1) Los Angeles Dodgers SAME
2) Arizona Diamondbacks (wildcard)
3) Colorado Rockies
4) San Diego Padres
5) San Fransisco [little] Giants
NL Central
1) Chicago Cubs 1)Brewers
2) Milwaukee Brewers 2)Cards
3) St Louis Cardinals 3)Reds
4) Cincinnati Reds 4)Cubs
5) Pittsburgh 5)Pirates
Comments:
Brewers have Sheets and a decent cast behind him. The central is still weak and they will rise to the top of it. I think the Cards are nice, not because of drunky the skipper, with the Rick Ankiel Story. The Reds have some good young pitchers and I think would be a division winner but they are young and will probabl fizzle toward the end. Cubs suck! Every year is the year. Already Soriano is hurt and more will follow and they will decend like a rock in water. They should thank their lucky stars the Pirates aren't good. Although, I like a lot of the players on the Pirate roster.
NL East
1) Atlanta Braves Same but won't be suprised if the Phillies win
2) Philadelphia Phillies either. Oh Marlins will be #3 Mets #4 Nats #5.
3) New York Mets
4) Washington Nationals
5) Florida Marlins
Comments: Mets (see cubs!). Marlins are going to continue to shock folks but just won't have enough. other than that, the east is the Braves to lose to the Phillies.
Not so different from Garrett's but liked his idea and stole it!!

Shelly (sister) tagged, even though I didn't feel anything, me with this book tag. The instructions are below and my book to follow.
1. Pick up the nearest book (at least 123 pages).
2. Turn to page 123.
3. Find the 5th sentence
4. Post the 5th sentence on your blog.
5. Tag 5 people.
The book I picked up was The Age of Speed by Vince Poscente (Learning to thrive in a MORE-FASTER-NOW WORLD. Book I got from work
"So Lafley de-emphasized the traditional role of R&D within the organization and set a goal of acquiring 50% of new product ideas from outside the company."
I am not TAGGING anyone, just thought it would be fun.

Long time
Wow so it's been a month again. Here I was thinking that I would be able to write summaries of all the games - HA! - I am having a hard enough time even looking at the blog let alone writing in it. So, Ty is doing well, the team is getting better and we are having fun. Need a bit more info, see the website or ask.
More Nerdery
Ty and I went to the Dodger game on Wednesday April 15 (YES, we got a dodger fleece blanket!) and I rediscovered an activity I had put tothe past. A long time ago I remember getting a program at the Dodger game and I would look at the articles etc. but, once game time rolled around it was right to the middle! What's in the middle you ask? (you didn't but this was added to entice drama...is it working??) No, not a centerfold of Russell Martin or Joe Torre but, and I warn you of the nerdiness of this, the scorecard!
That's right, I wanted to show Ty how to keep score. I did and he kept the Dodger's and I did the Pirates. It was a blast! Knowing that in 20 years I can tell everyone exactly what happened at any point in the game: Priceless! So since I like to do this, at least this once, why did I ever get away from it? One answer is little children. They won't let you hold paper and "draw" on it without getting a chance themselves. Or, maybe I just felt like it was a chore. Anyway, I have rediscovered it and when I go to games I think I will keep score. I have my own scorebook so I don't even have to shell out $5.00 for the program. I also own a pencil/pen so I am set for the geek / nerd / dork to explode out at baseball games.
GO DODGERS!
