Opening Day!
I've only been to Phillies opening day once. It was back in the wild and woolly days of Vet Stadium and the "highlight" was Mom and I fleeing our section as people threw full cups of beer over our heads at people in the rows in front of us. I already have tickets bought to one game this season, and I'm looking to go to at least 2 more. WM says this song always puts him in the "Spring" frame of mind, and I agree 100%. Put me in, Coach. I'm ready to play! ...
Friday 5: Opposite Day
What? My site was down you say? No, it wasn't! It was a great week, highlighted by going to the daytime Phillies game on Thursday with my brother John, who never reads my blog. And today I spent as much time outside as I could. We did a crapton of yard work and did you know it's a thing in this neighborhood to remove the weeds between the edge of your driveway and the street? Suburban lawn care peer pressure is definitely a thing. Time for the Friday 5. This week's theme is ...
I read books: Moneyball
Moneyball by Michael Lewis My rating: 4 of 5 stars I hadn't watched baseball in a few years, disgusted both by the home team jacking up ticket prices once the team started winning more and by everyone and their dog wearing the home team's merchandise -- now that the home team was winning. This was a much easier read for me than The Big Short, possibly because I cared about the characters more. I found myself looking up the players on Wikipedia to make sure things turned out okay for them. I also ...
Root, root root for the Phillies
I'm not a fan of inter-league baseball. Keep those wimpy non-batting American League pitchers where they belong, please, until the World Series. Anyway, there were only 3 days this year when the Philadelphia Phillies (currently .514 and my home team) played the Detroit Tigers (2006 AL Champions, 2006 World Series losers, and the Wandering Minstrel's home team). And, what luck...they played in Philly last weekend! So WM and I had a day at the ballpark last Saturday. It was a lovely day...not ...
And now, in LadyGypsy.net sports…
From my cell phone!Phillies first home game win of the '07 season Yesterday, Mom, John, Kristen and I went to see the Phillies play the Houston Astros at Citizens Bank Park.And...the Phllies won! I'm not a hard-core baseball nut -- can't spit out stats or debate why someone should/shouldn't occupy a spot in the lineup. But few things make me tingly like a successfully-executed double play. And the Phillies completed 3 yesterday.In other LadyGypsy.net sports, the Devils and Tampa Bay are tied ...

Catchup, and a plea.
My life, in a nutshell, since I spoke with you last: Went to a work-sponsored bowling party 2 weeks ago. It was fun. That's me, bowling, courtesy of the timer on my camera. I'm wearing a NJ Devils (ugh...win today, guys! c'mon!) jersey and am still showing the exquisite graceful bowling form I had when I bowled Varsity in high school. Mom & I went to a Camden Riversharks game and had much fun. Chipper is now 14 lbs. A new truck for Baron vonPlaque! (who I may revert to calling Thor for brevity's ...
