Random December Baseball Convos

Some random baseball conversations I’ve had recently...

Babysitting tonight - the 6-year-old boy had baseball memorabilia all over his room, and I asked him if he plays. "No, but I love baseball. Like, LOVE IT." "Me too!" I replied. His 4yo sister: "I know; my daddy took me the place you go all the time, and I got airbrushed on my face! [big grin] Can we go back in the summertime?" Of course we can, hon! ♥

My cousin Andy was hanging out at my place today, and while he was on the phone, he picked up a baseball card that’s on the second tier of my coffee table. I joked, “That’s my boyfriend!” He laughed in his Andy way, and I said, “Well, one of them...” He put the card back down and I said, “No, seriously. One of the real ones.” His eyes jumped, and I laughed. I love it when he can’t tell when I’m kidding. :D

My mom’s non-Braves boyfriend has been David Wright for a few years. When she sees a Mets game at the Ted, she literally stops what she’s doing when he comes up to bat to watch him on the Jumbotron – it’s super-fun to see. Well, she IMed me during the Cliff Lee tornado, “how’s my girl?” Instead of sending back a typical “fine” or “awesome” I replied with...

[12:58] Me: hey girl! doing my makeup to go babysit - gonna be there till 10:30 tonight
[12:59] Me: watching MLB Network -- the Phillies signed the CUTEST player overnight
[12:59] Me: http://blogs.seattleweekly.com/dailyweekly/CliffLEe-777198.jpg
[12:59] Me: Cliff Lee
[12:59] Me: he's also amazing
[13:00] Me: too bad he'll be kicking our butts!

We talked about a few other things, and then I got this...

[13:10] Mom: I just pulled up the picture of Cliff... who does he look like?
[13:10] Mom: familiar face...
[13:12] Me: I don't know
[13:12] Me: he usually has a beard
[13:12] Me: http://trumbullisland.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/CliffLee030_20090917239.jpg
[13:12] Mom: really cute!

She might be changing boyfriends soon. ;) We'll see.

A few days ago, I accidentally stumbled upon a message board where gay men were posting the MLB players they lus…  er… enjoy looking at, along with pictures. Alison and Molly and I had the best time looking at all the pics and commentary (the best commentary), and here’s a bit of the convo Molly and I had about it…

[23:39] Molly: one guy listed Farnsy and Lopez? I find that humorous. So very different
[23:40] Lauren: right?
[23:42] Molly: oh gay men are the sassiest and I love them
[23:45] Molly: I wonder how the different players would react to reading these posts by other men?
[23:45] Molly: haha now that I would LOVE to see!
[23:46] Lauren: well, the saying goes... first come the gays, then come the girls!
[23:46] Lauren: so if they're smart, they'll be happy ;)
[23:47] Molly: :D
[23:47] Lauren: http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa160/TheyAreSoDoingIt/6489415.jpg THIS IS THE BEST ALBUM NAME EVER

Heh heh. I love my gay friends. ♥

Alison and I have an ongoing, neverending conversation about MLBers on Twitter – the interesting ones, the self-promoting ones, the boring ones, etc. This week, we somehow kept going back to the Blue Jay we only call “Lunchbox”, and how we want him to cook us steak. :D As I drove home last night, it came back up again, and we spent a good 10 minutes discussing how much of a 48oz steak we could eat. Me: “Dude, you do realize that’s a pound and a half of meat each, right? In one sitting?!” Alison: “I could put down a pound.”

Y’all, seriously. How is she the skinny one?! :D

Hope your Christmas shopping is close to finished! Stay warm, lovvies!
