10. I know
I listened to the Giants beat Atlanta and now I'm streaming Colorado and the Mets. Rox are ahead 8-4, of all things.

11. I predicted Colorado would slide
Although if the Mets are losing, that's a good thing.

19. It's a foregone conclusion, but
it's okay with me if the Mets win the East.

It's okay with me if anybody but Atlanta wins the East.

22. I definitely prefer the Mets over the Braves
And I am actually hoping the Reds get the wild card, because I know we can beat them, if we play.

27. I never assume that
Too many variables. Guys go into slumps, guys get hot.

I'm the "one game at a time" type, too. I'll think seriously about the DS when we clinch the West, then the CS, etc.

rrr says I'm a pessimist. She's wrong, of course.

28. True about variables
But sometimes some patterns never break. I don't want to face the Padres, because they have owned us all year.

I could be wrong, but I am going with my gut here.

Whatever stops all those delusional NYC fans in both leagues. :D

32. I gotcha there
Edited on Thu Aug-31-06 11:48 PM by Oeditpus Rex
My gut would rather play Cincinnati too. Over five games, I'd be afraid of the MaxiPads' pitching.

Edit: Maybe more so now. Just heard the Pads got Wells back from the Sox.

14. I am so looking forward to fall.
Nothing against the summer season; most of the time I like it. But I just want this one to be over. Do feel a nip of fall in the air here, even though it's hotting up for the weekend. Guess I'm just ready to move on.

15. I am counting down the hours until September the 1st.
We are having cooler weather here in Houston, so maybe fall is already here.

I hate summer.


Yea Fall.

20. It's the heat.
August was terrible.

With the heat index it was around 105 when I had powerwash and paint a house.

35. I was in a major chain drug store this evening and saw Halloween candy
and decorations.

Yeah, like having that much candy in the house for that long is a good thing for me and my waist line. :P

what makes the trees turn, is it the temperature change or the shift in the daylight hours?

God, August sucks around here. It's probably my least favorite month, climatologically.

45. Actually...I did get ONE raise already...
I think I get another salary review at the new year.

Going indie is in the works, I think. I'm going to sign up for all the classes I can (that the company will pay for, of course), so I'll be even MORE employable. :7
