the all-star game
i didn't watch the whole thing. i went to bed at 11, when the game went into the tenth tied at 3. darn having to work today. all-star games aren't usually as exciting as real games, but it's still fun. my biggest problem with it this year was that all the guys wore their own jerseys. normally, each team wears a team shirt (saying either 'american' or 'national') and their own hats. it looks more friendly that way, i think.there was tons of pomp and circumstance, what with this being yankee stadium's last season ever, but the best part of all of it, was just how dang cute yogi berra is (and how much everyone loves him). well, that and the fact that our boys all did very well. heck, i think we had the best showing of any team there. :) go us!

he is cute -- i love those ears! :))
and your team did do well! yay, twins! (i had a part in that, btw -- i helped vote them in:D)
that uniform thing was confusing... i didn't know it wasn't usually like that, but i often didn't know which team was up!
yeah, too confusing
i was confused, too, because of the shirt thing. (but chel, it was white vs. grey)
and you went to bed, so you missed morneau's heroicness
oh, i didn't even realize! (the white vs. gray thing) see, i told you not to give me too much credit ;) (i did see morneau at the end though -- saw it when it happened rather than just hearing them talk about it afterward, so that was exciting:)
yeah, i missed it. :( like i said, darn work. one of the residents stayed up for it, though. :)
and chelle, don't worry - i didn't notice the white and grey thing either.
oh good :) (about not noticing; not about missing it b/c of work)
You girls know I'm not a baseball fan, but as we sat in my father-in-law's hospital room, the game was on. My brother-in-law and I were discussing how we thought Yogi Berra was dead and he must be 150 years old by now...when my other brother-in-law's girlfriend said, "Who's Yogi Berra?"
um, i don't really know who he is either (but i've heard of him & would've figured he was involved in sports:) ...do you think he was named after Yogi Bear? Or that Yogi Bear was named after him?
yogi bear was named after him.
my girls asked the same question, and then said, "only YOU can prevent forest fires." i told them that was smokey the bear, not yogi bear, and they asked, "then who's yogi bear?"
it's kind of sad that they don't know that.
especially when he's in Chris Rice's cartoon song! :)
photoqueen commented on a baseball post!
yogi berra was catcher for the yankees way back in the day (40s and 50s sometime). he's 82.
oh, and his real name is lawrence.
not yogi?
sorry - i shouldn't have told you
where'd 'yogi' come from then? it's not like it sounds like 'lawrence'...
i don't know. you'll have to look it up. :)
