guess you decided to not give me another opportunity to mock you about the royals. well, this evening anyways. awesome.

i have to say: tadahito iguchi’s flying throw to first saturday was the stuff of which legends are made. seriously. i’m bummed i didn’t get to see it, only see pictures and video clips after the fact.

okay, okay, okay: i don’t want our COMPLETELY FUCKING MOST AMAZING STARTING PITCHER to injure himself doing something stupid like sliding on a tarp in the rain. but, i ADORE that shit-eating grin on his face. it’s just happy! how can you look at someone doing that and not be happy too? he looks like a little kid. he makes me want to get a tarp and a torrential downpour of my own. i love my guys.
