Baseball makes everything better.

Today has been made of monumental suckitude. I'm having technical issues like woah with both my t.v. and my laptop. There may or may not be major work changes in the very near future. Any such potential work changes will likely fuck in some way with my plans for a birthday weekend in L.A. later this month, my trip to New Orleans in October, and maybe even my ability to take the California bar exam in February. But all of that is way too stressful to think about tonight when I can't do anything about any of it, so instead I shall tell y'all about my weekend of BASEBALL AWESOMENESS!!!

So, while the series against the Braves, as a whole, was really rough for my Diamondbacks (we only managed one win and lost Orlando Hudson to a broken wrist on Saturday night), we came out of it still a game and a half ahead of the Dodgers (thank you Giants!), and I personally had a blast at the ballpark four days in a row. I love seeing both the D'Backs and the Braves play ball. I got to see my two favorite HOTASS catchers, Chris Snyder and Brian McCann! Not to mention the sex on legs that is Conor Jackson and the always fun to look at Chipper Jones! Brandon Webb pitched a beautiful game on Sunday. We got to enjoy all four games from absolutely phenomenal seats. Seriously, the games were happening literally right in front of us. And, the best part, is that I got to share all the baseball goodness with [livejournal.com profile] azewewish!!!

See? We're obviously having a blast. And I even got Brenda to don some Diamondbacks gear under her Braves jersey! \o/

Brenda is sporting Dbacks gear under her Braves jersey!  :)

And, because one of the joys of baseball is the really hot men, I give you some of the weekend's eye candy.

This was our view of the game Friday night. We were right next to the visitor's dugout and the field was at eye level. Very weird. But kinda cool. Chipper at the plate, Chris catching:

Is it any wonder I love baseball? Hello, Brian!

And, hello there, Chris!
Mmmm...Chris.

Seriously, the things I'd like to do to this man. *bites lip*
Seriously.  Just look at him!  OMG those thighs!

Let us not forget the HOTASS-ness that is Conor Jackson:

And, one final reminder of the theme of this baseball weekend: HOTASS CATCHERS!
Chris!



I have about a billion more pictures from the weekend here. It shouldn't surprise anyone that MANY of those pictures are of Chris Snyder or Brian McCann, or, best of all, Chris and Brian in the same picture! *g*

Now I'm off to engage in some more hot men therapy in the form of the Olympics and, particularly the Chinese mens' gymnastics team and the hot male swimmers!!! \o/

Dude, Matt Grevers is SO FUCKING HOT!!!!!

And we can't even talk about the Chinese gymnasts, or I may just, y'know, gurgle incoherently.

Thank YOU for a great weekend!!!!!

Your week WILL get better. I demand it. :)

OMG, Matt Grevers is ridiculously hot!!! And did you see some of the divers??? I felt incredibly dirty, because I don't think they're even legal...but damn. The gymnasts are little bundles of absolute hotness!

The weekend was made of awesome! I love watching baseball (and baseball players) with you, baby!

And thank YOU for taking me down from the emo ledge today. The week really does have to get better. I'll keep you posted. :)

Oh, man, Stace & I were just talking about the divers & their hotness. *fans self* Especially the hot German dude & the Russians. We both think the American boys are dating.

[identity profile] moonmelody.livejournal.com 2008-08-12 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, those American boys are definitely dating. And, gods YES, those Russian and German boys were hot. Also, there was some pretty ink on display! \o/

Oh baby, I'm so sorry to hear about the work stuff. I'm sending you lots of hugs.

You and B look so gorgeous in this pic and the one that she posted too!

[identity profile] moonmelody.livejournal.com 2008-08-12 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
It's potentially a huge clusterfuck, so the hugs are most appreciated. :)

N'awww...thank you! Of course, by the time we got to the end of each game were were hot and sweaty and our hair had completely succombed to the humidity! But we were all decked out in our game hear and having a blast!

[identity profile] editorzon.livejournal.com 2008-08-12 04:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll keep my fingers crossed for clusterfuck avoidance and if you need to vent or anything, you know where I'm at babycakes. *mwah*

Thank you, baby. I should know more today or tomorrow and will keep you posted.

Yikes about the work situation! *hugs*

Definitely looks like much fun was had. :)

[identity profile] moonmelody.livejournal.com 2008-08-12 04:28 pm (UTC)(link)
The work situation is a mess, but I'm sure it'll all work out eventually.

And, yes, a whole hell of a lot of fun was had! :)

You guys are ADORABLE. I love your big smiles!

Dear Chipper,
NEVER EVER change.
Love and kisses,
Lisa


You both look SO CUTE! I'm glad y'all had so much fun.

And yeah, hot male swimmers are pretty much my whole life right now. Well that and Generation Kill. I don't know what I did to get so much hot boy entertainment at one time but boy am I lovin' it. ;-)

It was great to see Chipper back in the line up. And, you know, RIGHT IN FRONT OF US!!! We had a blast, but you, my dear, were missed!

*nods* Lot's of hot men on the television screen lately. Sadly though, my big awesome t.v. is having issues so I haven't seen the last episode of GK.

So, do you actually watch the game at any point? *giggle*

[identity profile] moonmelody.livejournal.com 2008-08-16 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you kidding me? Despite our acute appeciation for the pretty, we take our baseball pretty damn seriously around here.
