Thoughts from the Archangel

First, let me just say that I did not watch Game 7.  I am glad that I didn’t.  In fact, I haven’t even read a recap of it for it would make me far too sad.  That said, congratulations to the Pittsburgh Penguins.  In the words (and accent!) of Sean Connery,  you were a most worthy adversary…and it was probably well-deserved.  But I refuse to go find out.  Hell, I’m not even going to find out who won the Conn Smythe – yes I am, wait…well, at least it’s not Sidney.

In good news, the Chicago White Sox have won the last two of their series with the Brewers.  The Milwaukee boys have been good on the DL lately, so it’s nice to take a few games here and there.  And, while he’s not attractive to me whatsoever, I love A.J. Pierzynski.  His attitude problem and my attitude problem are similar…maybe we’re related.  Cooler yet, Mark Buehrle smacked his first professional HR.  BUT (there’s always one of those), the ChiSox are 4.5 games back from the Tiggers, and 1.5 games behind the Twinkerbells…it’s the middle of June.  Shouldn’t we be playing some good ball (consistently) by now?

The Indianapolis Indians are 3.0 games behind the Louisville Bats, but are getting closer to that elusive .500 mark.  If they get to that threshold, it will be the first time they’ve had a winning season since I’ve been following them.  What an accomplishment!

Super Hottie Matt Kata is still on the active roster for the Astros, making this Angel quite happy for him.  He seems to be getting into the groove, finally climbing out of the batting average cellar and, of course, doing a fine job at defense.  I told my crazy friend that we’re going to CIN if he’s still playing with the Astros.  As the saying on the Ladies… goes, it’s not stalking if you bought a ticket!

In non-sports things, I had a great weekend with some friends.  I was on the lookout for a replacement for El Quattro…there was one who was close, but, alas, it was not to be.  The DH and I have a long weekend with other friends coming up, and I am only partially looking forward to the trip.  It will be nice to get away, but this trip is with 6 other adults and their 6 children.  In one house.  And it looks like it might rain all day Sunday.  I’ll try to stay positive though: we’re bringing lots of alcohol, and I love all the guys – just not necessarily their wives.

And now, I should go do work.  Or take my lunch.  Work is totally overrated today anyway.
