I love weekends with no plans what so ever. The last few weeks have been crazy to say the least, both in my personal world and my job. It's going to stay in the 90's this weekend so, seriously, all I want to do is chill on my patio with some Chardonnay and relax. Read a magazine, listen to music, watch my cat play, the birds come and go and soothe my soul. Make some good food (planning on putting something on the smoker) and let the day unfold...hopefully nice and slow. Wait. I take that back. I do have one plan. To watch game 1 of The Kings vs. Ducks Saturday. There are a few people I talk to who seem to think the Ducks are a better team this year (based on their record I suppose). We'll see about that. It will be bragging rights for whoever wins the series for sure, being this is the first time they have faced each other in the playoffs. Bring it... I'll leave you with this quote, fitting for today: "I don't mind coming to work, but that 8 hour wait to go home is a bitch!"

So I admit I AM one of "those Dodger Fans". The kind that are so passionate and so territorial of her team that she gets her self into trouble. I have followed Patrick O'Neal on Twitter since he and Steve Lyons had been doing the pregame and postgame coverage of Dodger games. I also loved his coverage of the LA Kings. Now he went to the "dark side". No fault of his own, it is business after all. But I just can't have my twitter feed full of "Troutastic moments", talking about the stupid rally monkey and references to the Angels as the halos, to name just a few. It makes me gag. Steve Lyons went to work for the Boston Red Sox. He still follows the Dodgers and comments on them as well as the Sox. I can handle that. I don't have a problem with the Red Sox. People who are Angel "fans" ask me why I hate them so much. I don't hate the organization. I don't like that Moreno changed the name of the team to Los Angeles, but I also know the true Angel fans don't like it even more. I respect that. What I really don't like is the stadium experience and it's so called fan base. The only time I have gone to Angel Stadium is when there is a Freeway Series. The very first time I went I was so irritated. The group of men sitting behind us were talking the entire time about sushi, work, movies, you name it...except baseball. I doubt that they watched any of the game. I also don't like the fireworks when there is a home run even if they are losing 10 - 2. It's embarrassing. Go ahead and "light up that halo" (ew) when there is a win. But leave the fireworks to entertainment purposes after the game. Not during. It's stupid! I could go on and on and on... But back to Patrick O'Neal. I made a comment on twitter this morning and should not have referenced @Patrick_ONeal using the @. Like I said before, no fault of his own he has to support the Angels. I just can't deal with it. I never expected a sarcastic "Buh bye." Maybe I ended up offending him as I do Angel "fans" all of the time. When it comes to my Dodgers, I become a person I don't like. I am mean, rude, snobby and harsh. That's not me. But as my best friend and I say all of the time, "It is what it is". Just imagine if I moved to San Francisco. |
