did anyone check out espn2 last night around 7 est? you got a treat if you did and you like baseball. the future outdueled the past as dontrelle willis of the florida marlins went 7 innings, striking out 8 and giving up one earned run to beat randy johnson, willis' idol, who gave up no earned runs but lost because of a 2 run error. not only was it a great pitcher's duel, the game mattered too since it was between the 2nd and 3rd place teams in the nl wild card hunt. i havent seen a regular season game that good since i saw pedro martinez beat bartolo colon of the indians at fenway in 2-1 game when i was in high school, the difference being that i saw last night's game on tv, whereas i was at fenway for the pedro game.

I'm sorry this is my first visit to your blog since you've looked at mine so many times now. I've gotten really bad about not seeing other blogs. I'll try to do better.

Posted by: dp at August 6, 2003 10:29 AMHe's been good for me too, but another guy in the league dropped Mulder after he had bad outings in his first three starts. I picked him up and haven't been disappointed. Vernon Wells went undrafted too, so the guy that got him is real happy.
Posted by: the booth at August 6, 2003 3:50 PMwhy are you "the booth"? i know youve got sisters, isnt there some contention over that title?
Posted by: dp at August 7, 2003 1:55 PMI plead no contest.
I've only ever had one person who consistently called me "booth" (it's just not fitting for me) and while Rachel (our other sister) used to be called "booth" regularly, she contented herself with being called "little booth."
Posted by: Christin at August 7, 2003 2:41 PMMy college friends called me "the booth" to distinguish me from another Aaron in the group. Plus, it's usually not appropriate to call girls by their last name only.
Posted by: the booth at August 8, 2003 2:53 PMI'm a huge fan of calling women by their last names only. Decreases sexual tension. Humbles them a bit. Good for everyone.
