Obvious and Contagious

Sports Amnesia.

I was born and raised in the Bay Area. I have been watching sports (especially football) since I was a little girl. I remember when the Sharks came to San Jose when HP Pavillion was still just The Arena. I don't remember seeing the A's beat the Giants in 1989, but it gets thrown in my face constantly. By A's fans. I remember the glory days of the 49ers (one lived around the corner from me when I was in grade school, and sent my sister and I autographed pictures when we sent a get well card to him) I'm actually sitting here wearing a tshirt from the 1995 Superbowl- you know... when they had winning seasons. Weird right? I have to say my intense love for hockey did not happen until around high school, and then when I lived in L.A. for a year and saw only Kings games on T.V... I missed those Sharks! I would talk about basketball..... but I'm a Lakers fan, and since they know how to win- no need to go there:) But the Warriors are here, and so are the Sac Kings and I read the newspaper so I know what's up. Kind of.

So here I am, 22 and a Bay Area sports fan- how do I live my life without hating the world? Hope. I could talk about just one of the 4 major sports around here, and the story is the same for all of them. Look at the San Jose Sharks just this past year- AMAZING in regular season. Sure, it was rocky there at the end with injuries and what not and the always looming question of PASSION but seriously, how are you going to tell me that someone who hasn't missed a game since joining the team doesn't have passion to win?? Not the point, but the point is that they won the President's Trophy. Can I just say, to a Sharks fan, that banner on their website is just a big fat slap in the face that the Sharks didn't make it all the way. Again. Eliminated in round 1. To the Ducks. I cried. Say it's becaue I'm a girl, or weak, or whatever... but I shed tears when they lost.

So the Pens won the cup, beating Detroit and making Hossa look like a fool (haha!) and it's been a somewhat quiet offseason. Blah. Blah. Blah. Espeically for San Jose. Well, it was- Patty is no longer captain or at least for right now (ughl) and Dany Heatley is running his mouth up in Canada. Oh, I want him on the Sharks- I think he's a great athlete. I was suprised to find out that it wasn't him that ran his mouth, but he sort of did right? I mean, they're men, but they gossip like girls. 

It's August and here I am talking about how I can't wait for hockey season to start. Preseason is in September, and I'm already looking forward to watching every game. I have been told to not forget about last year and every year before that, but it's like I forget. It's like I have amnesia. Sports amnesia. I do it with ALL my teams. Even right now, with baseball I'm doing it.

The San Francisco Giants are my favorite baseball team. Hands down, I love them. Forever. I watched the game today against Colorado (were in a race with them for Wildcard and they're ahead by a game. Well, 2 now.) Giants were up 6-1 and the final score was 14-11 Colorado. Ughl. So disappointing and I don't even play for them. I'm already looking forward to the game tomorrow. I have hope that they will win. I was telling a friend of mine that I know they can win. That it was just one game. And I was of course reminded of how they have been all season, and past seasons and that they're a Bay Area team so they can't win.

It's awful. It happens all the time. But my memory fades before the first pitch, before the puck drops, and before kickoff. I get wrapped up in knowing the hope that this time they'll win. This game will be different. That this season will start off right. And that that trade made a difference. (Remember, the Lakers win so I don't have to worry about basketball as much:) I said as much... I know how the Lakers get!)

So here's the question I get asked as a Giants fan- even if make a playoff spot, based on their horrible offense this season, how far can they go? I'm a Bay Area sports fan and the only way to answer that is with hope (I'm just now realizing how girly and mushy and lame all this sounds.) They can go all the way... on a wing and a prayer my teams can win. And they will. One day.

My sports amnesia is kicking in... it's going to be this season!!!! (That's for Giants, 49ers and Sharks)

NFL, bacon, and apple pie. Weird.

There are so many things to be talking about right now... I'll do a "Tahoe post" later because I want to put effort into it, and I just don't have the energy. (Note: I'm sitting in bed right now with my old football tshirt on icing my knee with a notebook and pen scattered on my bed in a sea of papers with Megan Wants to Marry a Millionaire on TV. The image shouts lazy right?)

WAIT!!! Preseason football started today. Was any disappointed or was it just me? Or does Buffalo do that to everyone? Ouch. Ser-i-silly though, I was expecting some amazing stuff and was pretty bored with the results. I don't know, maybe it's that I'm tired, or distracted, or hungry. I need to do some grocery shopping- I had cereal for dinner. Anyways, it's probably because the baseball game sucked. WHAT THE HELL HAPPENEED TO THE GIANTS? I have not paid really any attention to sports for the past month. I've been on vacation with the family and watching sports isn't as fun as hanging out with the family. AAAwwwwww. I shouldn't be making fun of the NFL- my favorite team is the 49ers who can't really do anything but complain. Ughl- Crabtree needs to shut his mouth. Enough said about it- I'm still watching all the games I can, thinking about having a game day/game night on Sundays. That's right, game night (meaning watching the game during the day) and game night (meaning playing a game at night). I think it's a great idea, and I don't work on Sundays. Woot. Woot.

Okay, so the real reason for this rant- BACON.

The story never gets old, the one about the bacon date. The catch phrase has spread throughout the state- "Really?! I love bacon!" Don't forget fellas, if you say this, make sure to sit in that oh so uncomfortable position so that your voice gets really high and sweaky. The ladies love it. Ughl. Ughl. Ughl.

For awhile now I've been asking people their thoughts on a bacon apple pie. I get mixed emotions, and I think it's a geographical thing. People in the Bay Area are not fans. The out of state folk (or the ones I know) think it's amazing (especially the ones who are from places with a population less than the people that live on my street) and recently, I found out that the Tahoian breed (haha that won't get old) love the idea.

Now, I've said this before- I have an average appreciation for pork products... but I don't know why I'm putting bacon into an apple pie. I mean, apple pie is so good as is, why ruin it? I used to say that about my burritos when it came to sour cream, and I was certainly missing out. I didn't like the cold mixed with the hot. I know, stupid. But there was a time when I hated mexican food. Yeah I know- I know!!! Chica es loco. There's four years of spanish eduation from public school... sigh.

I've decided that I should make this pie. With help and advice from a few people, I think that this is a good idea. Here's the problem- there are a zillion recipes out there. Some are made with cinnamon bacon. Really? Here's where it gets weird- the lattice is made with bacon. Uhh I don't know if you know this about me, but there's this book for sale that's liek a thousand pages about pies. From how to make the perfect crust, lattice, and all that crap. Then it has recipes that are amazing. I want it. Bad. But the last thing my post-op body needs is pie. (Not that kind of post op or I would be all over the pies. I'm talking post op from knee surgery that was the end of a long four months of some serious sandwich eating and not caring about exercise. I was working on range of motion) 

So my lattice making skills suck. I don't have the book. And I didn't grow up where you had one of those fancy thingy things that you use to cut the dough so that it makes that zig zag cut. Do you know what I'm talking about? Is my code language making ANY sense? (Seriously can't wait to get back into my groove of watching sports and knitting- I'm no good at this bacon talk) I don't want to make a lattice with bacon. I think it will look gross.

But I'm going to do this. There are 2 recipes that are out there that I think I could make without throwing up. If I play my cards right, I can try one while watching a baseball game. I just hope Schierdog is playing. Which by the way- where the hell is he?? Something about he's injured... but we (I mean the giants) got Garko (who rocks my socks, and not just because of his name or his super cute face) so what the eff?? Where's Schierdog?? I need info that isn't from an idiot. Sigh.

Alright- so bacon apple pie- here we come. Or just me. What if it's good? Then I look like a fool (Like Hossa when the Pens won the cup this year haha! I'm the only one that thinks that's funny). And if it's bad, then I wasted time peeling apples, and messing up my kitchen for something that's gross. Ughl. Positive thoughts right? I can totally do this.

Updates about me! (What else?)

Lately things have been going pretty good. My knee is looking like a knee again. I still have tape on where they cut my knee up (slice and dice) I'm bending it a little more everyday, but trust me I am super stiff in the morning.  Backstory- about a year ago or so my joints in my knees and hips started to feel tight in the morning when I would wake up. Not a big deal, but add a messed up knee to the equation and you might notice it a little more. Physical therapy is going alright, I wish I was doing better meaning NOT on crutches but I can't help that. Hopefully by next week I'll be able to put weight on my foot. Sigh. I'm looking forward to that. I've been out in the sun a few times and I have started to develop knee-brace tan lines. It's been years since there was a summer where I wasn't tan from being outside everyday so it's hard for me to look at the pastey legs.... let me put it this way- I'm so pale I look even more like my sister Christina! (She's really white. Like white white. I say it with love so it's okay)

Aside from the whole knee situation, things are moving along. I'm going to begin my quest for a degree in education later this summer, and by the end of the program I will have my masters. I know, this means my dream of giving my very unprofessional unsolisited opinion about sports for money may never be. But, that's okay because I'll be really good working with kids with special needs as a career:) I'm excited because it's something I can do anywhere. I'm not saying that I'm moving (no angry phone calls please) but if something happened where me moving was needed, I could. I just hope that the place has a hockey team. That's one of the reasons why Seattle isn't a place for me to live. I need hockey extremely close. Really there's no point to worry about it, because I'm where I want to be and that's what matters. (See what a couple of weeks with your thoughts and ice packs on your knee can do for you?)

I'm excited about all of this, and even more ready to finish up school. Finally! I'm sure I'll change my mind about a million more times, but for right now, this is what I want to do and so here we go.

Guess where I get to go?! The Blink 182 concert! That's right my friend Jamie and I are going to see them at the end of the summer. It's going to be UHmazing. Depeche Mode is on tour this summer, but I'm not sure if I'll see them. I was so close to seeing them in 2005 but it didn't work out. That was when I was living in L.A. I ended up coming home for a family emergency... Anyways, I thought that would have been the last album Depeche Mode would put out, but luckily I was WRONG. (haha get it? Like the song "Wrong" haha) I love summertime in the Bay Area. So many conerts and baseball games. I'm trying to get to the point where I can walk without crutches soon SOON because there a few Giants games I want to go to and I need to be able to walk to my seat... I like first base line:) Just a few more days. I hope.

All of this down time I've been having has let me make new mixes. It's great because I've found some new voices (new to me) and I've got them all in their mix sitations with other great sounds. Ser-i-silly I crack up when my sister Christina calls me and says, "I've got a band for you!" and then I have to tell her that I already have them on my iTunes. It's weird, she lives in L.A. she should be the music freak. Yeesh. *wink

Okay, so I'm ashamed of something and I have to be able to talk about it somewhere... I have been watching this show on Bravo and I hate myself for enjoying it. NYC Prep. Seriously? What is wrong with me? There are plenty of baseball games, and nature documentaries on Animal Planet- I don't have any reason to be watching this show. But I am. And I look forward to it. Today is Tuesday, and I know it will be on a thousand times in a row. In my head I calculated what time the game would be done and what time NYC Prep would be on and also this thing on Animal Planet I want to watch. It's sick. I'm ashamed. But I can't stop. It's like that Daisy of Love crap... I know it's wrong but I can't help myself. Ughl.

If I was smart I would just watch Boondock Saints and forget about the shows on Bravo.

The famous hands say #1

So who's that guy in the Clippers jersey?? Oh no one special just the number 1 draft pick Blake Griffin. No, I don't know him but guess who I do know? That would be the guy on the left with the #1 sign. See, he had to do that because as of last week his hands are famous (they were on ESPN during the draft) and so now he just has to show them off. His name is Jason Piombetti and he's just happens to be one of the scouts for the Clippers. And he's dating my sister. He's a nice guy... brought me that basketball signed by Al Thornton who I still don't know much about.

But come on... if you have ever watch even 1 (haha) basketball game this picture is very cool. Actually, even if you don't watch basketball it's still pretty cool.

I don't care that it's July- I'm going to talk about hockey.

Sense the anger and frustration in my tone....

I was well aware that after what happened in the playoffs for the Sharks this year that things were going to change. A lot of things were going to change. For some reason, people kept talking about Marleau and Thornton. I found that to be stupid because they both have a no trade clause in their contracts. You would think that people would focus more on those who would become free agents... or maybe those players who would be sent elsewhere... or just not asked back. I know, it's a lot to ask.

So when I picked up the paper today, I know I was reading the sports section but I felt like I was reading the obituaries. Mike Grier who's been THE penalty killer for the Sharks the past few years is no longer. Oh, and guess what else- this may come as a shock to some of you (not) but Boucher will not be back next year either. Wow, totally didn't see that coming. Nabokov is our goalie. I understand that and I respect that. However, not rotating the goalie like some other teams do, makes it pretty damn hard to keep around a back up goaltender. I know I was not the only one saying this all year but the fact that Boucher rarely played, and for being as amazing he is, I wasn't surprised to find out that he's not playing for the Sharks next year. I'm sad, but I get it. It's business, the economy sucks, you can't always get what you want, and blah blah blah. He's going to play with the Flyers who I think (I'm too lazy to click around and check) drafted him. Ughl. Still no word on where Grier is going, but I wish it was going to be San Jose. The obits said.. I mean the sports section said it was due to knee injuries and something about not fitting into the mix blah blah blah. Ughl.

The next few days are going to be strange. I checked nhl.com just to see what kind of comotion was going on and I freaked out when I saw that Hossa was going to Chicago. Alright, quick back story- Hossa was playing for Pittsburgh and they went to the Stanley Cup Finals to lose to Detroit last year. Hossa decided that he really wanted to win a cup so he signed a one year contract with Detorit. Apparently, he thought they could help him win a cup and he really REALLY wanted one. You know, because no other hockey player wants that. Ughl. So this year Pittsburgh and Detorit met up for a rematch in the finals and I was so happy when Pittsburgh won. Not only because I don't like Detroit, but I got a little more excited knowing that Hossa looked like a fool. Sigh. So he was a free agent. Chicago scooped him up in a 12 year contract that will pay him close to $63million dollars.

Anyone who knows me even a little understands my odd obbession with the city of Chicago. I have the idea to go there and see all their teams play (I know it will take some major planning but when it comes to sports I'll figure out a way to make it happen) and just enjoy the wonder. Honestly, if an opportunity came up that suggested I move there I think I would. With that said, knowing Hossa is going to be there makes me not want to go there. I'm sure he's a great person, and yes he's a great hockey player and I get that it's business but ughl. I just don't like him. It's like when Zito came across the bay, I just can't respect him. A few people have mentioned that they would have liked to see Hossa play for San Jose. I heard that and was suddenly thankful that his contract with Chicago is for 12 years. Seriously though that's a lot of money and I thought the economy sucked. Oh well, it is what it is.

Anyways, not much happened in news for the Sharks but in the years past they always seem to pick up a few great players.

P.S.
Kobe is staying in L.A. Was anyone thinking anything different? Come on... He loves his pedestal.

Poor St. Louis.

You know, I forget how great our outfield is until I watch a team with a bad group of guys out there. Oops. Is that mean to say? Probably not... especially after watching St. Louis for the past could days. I mean, I know that when Rowand is playing in centerfield, that he will be there to catch anything and everything. Homeboy even ran into a brickwall back in the day to catch a ball. Let's just say that he takes his job seriously.

I have a soft spot for right field when SchierDog is out there, but even when it's not him and Winn is playing in right instead of left I'm still confident knowing that they will catch the ball. When the Giants are batting and a fly ball goes to left-center field, I'm thinking that one of these guys will catch the ball. Uh, wrong. They don't and then add in some bad throws mixed with an error or two, and the Giants are suddenly up a couple runs. 

I mean let's be honest- the Giants are not the best hitters. They have are winning games based on their pitchers and phenomenal defense. It just makes me laugh when other teams don't have a great defense and happy to know that the Giants do:)

Oh-Em-Gee.... what is up with the guy on the Cardinals with the handle bar mustache??? Ughl. Ughl. Ughl. Gross. He pitched for an inning or so and I was extremely distracted by his facial hair.

It was a great game. Giants won, and they were hitting pretty well. Wilson was able to get ths save, and hopefully forget about that awful game on Saturday where everyone sucked.

Woot woot Giants!

SchierDog.

Nate Schierholtz.

Last season this guy who rarely played in right field came up to bat and I noticed something different about him. He wasn't wearing batting gloves. A quick discussion with a friend of mine on how unusual that is for a major league player I was smitten. That's all it took.

This season SchierDog (as my sister Christina calls him) has been doing really well. Honestly, it was only a matter of time because he's amazing. He played in the Olympics. He's great. He even wears his pants correctly.

There are so many things are make him adorable, but I love the way he swings the bat. He does this thing with his left hand that I think is just so cute. (That's what every athlete wants to hear right?) Actually, it's precious. It's presh. That's right- I think his follow through is presh:)

I have a lot of athletes I find visually appealing, but in each sport I have a favorite and SchierDog is the one for baseball. Really, I look forward to seeing his name in the lineup and when he's not I'll still watch the game but I'll spend the whole game saying something about how SchierDog could do better than whoever is out there in right field.

The commentators love him because he doesn't get upset if he's not in the lineup, and whatever coaches want him to do, he does. With enthusiasm. Well isn't he just Mr. Perfect? Geez.

Here's a picture that shows his presh follow through.(In this picture he isn't wearing his pants the right way, but he does in real life. You  know, this season real life)

Why was watching 2 players I like ugly?

Just let me say one thing...

The Giants disappointed me like The Sharks do in the playoffs. (Yeah, it's going to be like that today. Yes, I am aware that this was just a game against the Brewers, and it's not the playoffs but still.)

I know. It's extremely harsh and I've managed to insult two teams that I really love but I don't care. There was absolutely no reason why the Giants couldn't have won today's game. I won't go into detail about hits and homers but I will talk about pitching. For some reason, it seemed like a good idea to leave your starting pitcher in when he was starting to lose it just as the guy who hits everything out of the park comes up to bat. Are you kidding me? Bad idea #1. That mistake almost tied the game. Then, you put in another pitcher. In my opinion, the wrong one. That mistake didn't last long because after one or two pitches, a home run tied the game. Bad idea #2. Then, by some miracle, the Giants were able to take the lead again in the top of the 9th with some great offense. It was incredible, and gave them a 2 run lead. All they needed was someone to save the game. I wouldn't trust anyone else with that kind of save either... and they put Wilson in. After striking out the first batter, things started to fall apart. Twenty something pitches later, and a tied game guess who comes up to bat? Homeboy who gave the Brewers that 3 run homer. And what did he do? He hit the ball down the right field line to get the winning run. GGGrrrrr.

No one is more upset than the Giants, and I'm sure Wilson and Zito aren't happy either. I have to say, I get really excited when Zito is pitching now. I've talked about his curve ball before, but he's just doing so well this season. The problem is that the Giants don't create enough offense to give him the wins he deserves. Now, this isn't an every single time situation... but most of the time he deserves to have credit fo the win and doesn't get it because the Giants can't produce runs. It's very frustrating as a fan. So here's what really makes me mad, when they do REALLY really well (I'm talking base hits for just about everyone, a few RBIs, 2 home runs from one player... you know, things like that) and then it all falls apart. I understand it's part of the game, I've been watching the game all my life to know that but seriously, today of all days, I wanted them to win.

I figured after yesterday's loss that things would turn around and for the first 4 innings it seemed to look that way. It's like when I'm watching the Sharks and things are looking amazing and they're playing really well and then quick sand. One thing goes wrong and then another and then another and then you remember that you're watching a Bay Area team play.

I love the Giants more than any other baseball team. I always have and I always will but today hurt. It could be that the highlight of my days these days is to watch my favorite team play. It's nice to have the opportunity to just sit and watch a game. Sure it's not live right there at the park (still haven't been to a game this season. I'm a disgrace!) but it's relaxing and it's fun. I'm still staying with my parents and it's nice to be able to watch games with them. I haven't done that since high school. Sigh.

I'm still angry but tomorrow is another day and another game. But seriously, as soon as I saw that ball go down to right field bringing in the winning run I said, "Ughl, did it have to be right field???!" SchierDog was in right field tonight.

NBA Draft

I know someone with famous hands.

Anyways, the NBA Draft was today. Oh Lord! Seriously, I watch a lot of stuff about sports. A lot. It's at times somewhat pathetic but I enjoy it. I am a girl, and I judge what these people wear. Seriously.... what the hell is up with guys who work in the NBA? What the eff do they think they're wearing? I mean come on. Most of the guys who were talking about these basketball players were wearing the WORST suits I have ever seen. In hockey, they usually do okay... sometimes they don't fit well (Of course Randy and Drew are not included in this. I always think they look amazing) especially some of the coaches. I think hockey players dress pretty well overall. Same with baseball. Football isn't always good, but basketball is the worst. I mean ughl ughl ughl. I find it very distracting.

But enough about the awful clothing... guess what guess what guess what!?!?!

I know someone with famous hands.

Okay, so maybe not FAMOUS hands, but this guy's hands were on ESPN today. My sister's boyfriend- who actually has a name Jason Piombetti, is one of the scouts for the Los Angeles Clippers. That's right, my sister gets to date a guy who works in sports. And they're really happy which doesn't make me jealous of her at all. Seriously. Not jealous that she's happy. Oh, and did I mention that the guy is pretty cool? Yeah, like we get along and everything. He's done I want to say 10 things that I think are pretty cool but the top two are... he got me a signed basketball by this guy named Al Thornton (apparently the Clippers are an actual NBA team. Weird right? *wink) and after my surgery he sent me a list of baseball books he thought I would be interested in reading. You know, because I'm such a bookworm and I love sports. Very sweet and I'm sure he scored extra points with my sister for being so nice to me:) Oh, and he's planning on watching hockey this coming season because I make such a big deal about it. He's from New Jersey so he'll be cheering for the Devils, but that's fine... I have to respect his choice. (Haha remember the game against Carolina?! 0.2 seconds left! Sigh)

Okay so his hands are famous. If you have been reading anything about basketball in the past couple months you would know that the Clippers had the #1 pick. And everyone knew who they were going to pick: Blake Griffin. Homeboy wore a purple shirt for the draft. Ughl, he's lucky he can play. Geez. Oh, and don't get me started on what his brother was wearing. Yikes. So many things wrong with the suits of the NBA. Alright so ESPN kept showing the Clippers draft room and Jason wasn't in the shot, but his hands were.

Yes, I'm aware I'm making a big deal out of this... but I think it's so cool. I mean, even though he works for a high school basketball team... *wink (JUST KIDDING... IT'S ALL JOKES, I JUST MAKE FUN OF THE CLIPPERS BECAUSE I'M A LAKERS FAN.)

Honestly though... I can't take the horrible clothing that I saw today. It was absolutely unacceptable. Someone told these guys it was okay to wear those suits. Especially the commentators. They didn't just throw that on, that was planned. And then at least one person told them they looked good. I have a feeling they were told they looked "sharp".

Ughl.

******************
So many things to blog about... lots of good stuff coming I promise. This week has been crazy in the sense that I've been sleeping and watching a lot of T.V. I just picked up a book for the first time in a week. I haven't read anything other than the newspaper (meaning the sports section) since last week.

I love how people are reaching out, I feel very loved. And just a preview of what's to come... I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that maybe the homerun that Nate Schierholtz aka SchierDog hit the other night against the A's was possibly for me because he knew that I needed to see him run around the bases and smile. And high five. I said he was going to be amazing this year. Notice that once he took of those darn batting gloves things started to pick up for him. *wink Stick to what works. (Can I throw in the word baby there? Or is that too much?

I hate him but I like his curve ball.

This is so like me...

Guess who I have developed a crush on this baseball season? Barry Zito.

Let me explain my twisted mind. First of all, I know all the things I have said about him. I may have mentioned that he's not worth $126 million, that I would pay him that much to go back to Oakland...

I could have also said something about how watching grass grow would be more entertaining than watching Zito pitch. And something about how he contributes nothing... you know, jokes. All jokes.

Okay so they weren't jokes and he did suck. He sold out for money (who wouldn't?) and he lost his confidence or whatever. Something happened though... he got better.

I still don't like him. In fact- I saw some interview with him where he said, "I don't care" about 20 times which really pisses me off. If you don't care, what the hell are you doing sitting there giving an interview? And you DO care because you a pro athlete and you want to win. It's okay to sit there and say, "yeah, I suck. I'm trying to do better. I know I was paid a lot of money and I haven't delivered but I'm going to do better."

So I still don't like him. I know the ladies of the bay area find him attractive and he's not unattractive he has a pleasant face but... eh... in my opinion, not so much.

Why do I have a crush on him? It's his curve ball. I like his curve ball. And I like when he starts to get mad. He makes this face that says, "I hate the world" and it's so funny. Also, the fact that he is actually doing well this season helps. I feel bad because he works hard and then the Giants fail him by not scoring enough runs. It's frustrating.

But yeah- it's his curve ball that makes me swoon. I don't like him, but I do. I love to hate him. I love to make fun of him, but I can't help that I have a crush on him.

Giants lost to St. Louis 6-2. Guess who was pitching? MmmmHmmm- Zito.

P.S.
Guess who wasn't wearing batting gloves tonight?? Nate Schierholtz. Scherdog as Christina calls him:) Interesting. Wonder why that is.
