Indians Vs M's: 9/27 and UCLA Vs OSU 9/29/7


As I watched the end of Cleveland's game 3 win in the ALCS last night I remembered I never wrote this post.. For some reason the Mariners decided to finish the season on a 5 game win streak including, 2 wins against the Indians. I went to the 4-2 victory on Thursday the 27th and since I entered the stadium with no hope of October baseball an usher gave me and everyone else a Raul Ibanez magnet. A good friend went to the game with me, actually took me to the game. My buddy had a couple thoughts on the M's; 1) They need more pitching 2) They have no confidence in themselves therefore don't win and 3) Shit, what else did he say? That game happened a while ago..


My first football game at Oregon State was seen from the comfort of a suite which had nice seats, free food, useless promo gadgets and TVs. One of the two TVs was placed at the head of the suite so I could look out the glass window to the field and watch the Ducks lose to Cal. Oregon State's new 1/2 of Reser looks alright but mostly reminded me OSU is the definition of a tweener program. The Beavs aren't relevant on the national scene yet they still aren't nameless, see Chad Johnson. See Chad Johnson run and catch. See Chad score 6 then waltz with a cheerleader. Wait, that's not waltzing.. The Beavers gave up some silly amount of points in the 4th quarter and the Bruins won, who then lost to Notre Dame, in LA. Like I said OSU Football=tweener program.It took 3 hours to get back to Portland, I should have stayed in town.
