Alas, i do pay for this blog...

...so i probably should use it more!! lol

I myself cant even fathom my laziness these days anymore. Its not like i am not keeping up with the world of Yankees baseball, alas, i'm stil very much a fanatic. But when it comes to updating my blog, i fall flat and the wind of laziness blows over me. lol. I keep telling myself i will do better. But i think i need to stop lying to myself. I dont know if my updates will ever be consistent again until playoff time. lol. Speaking of playoffs...how bout them Yankees, uh? ;-)

Anywhooo, was at the game the other day. The game when Jeff Karstens attempted to pitch. Alas, it was a miserable attempt at pitching, as we all know. Between him and the bullpen, we got blown out 12-0. Poor kid. I always root for the youngins, but i just couldnt get behind Jeff on this one. I heard he's back in triple A. Give it some more time Jeffie. Come back when u're really ready.


Here are some pictures i took =). CLICK TO ENLARGE.

At-bat pitcures are easily my favorite. Here's my favorite player Matsui getting ready to smoke one (and he hit a single).

Hey, a lil somthing for u to chew on ! tee hee, i <3 how this pic came out!!





0814m

I think this is one of my favorite pictures i've ever taken. Its at least in my top 10. I spent a lot of time editing this shot to get it just how i wanted. I think it looks so very editorial, like one of those Nike commercials. I <3 it!! We thought this guy was hot, so i was sneaking shots of him. Thank God for super zoom, lol. Anyway, it took some concentration to get this focus right, cause i wanted to keep the focus on just him. I think i did pretty well =)

I love taking pictures of the little factoids. =) A lil Robbie Jose trivia for ya!!




0814q

I like those lil factoids, like i said before =)

A-Rod at-bat.

Now this pic is definitely a favorite. I loved the little boy's MoHawk, and so i wanted a pic. But he was moving around too much, so i just had to keep flicking till i got a good angle and voila!!! I <3 this picture to pieces.

It was my friend Myriam's (left) first Yankees game. I felt bad she had to come on a day they got beat so bad, but she still had fun!!! =)

Cyn, Me and Myriam enjoying ourselves despite being whooped 9-0 at this point.





Ok, thats all i have.
I have like 5 more games before season ends. So more pics soon =).
(PS. If you are wondering, yes i do take pictures sorta professionally, but no i am not a professional photog - i am a number crunching analyst bum, lol. I just have professional equipment and a very avid interest in photography. I carry 3 different lenses around with me, ha ha. I have a super zoom lens, which is why i can zoom so clearly on the field. All these pics were taken from way up in Tier Reserve seats).

nice pics Lola


how nice it must be to have the option to watch a game in the Bronx!

it is! i love being here :-D u have to make it down one time! i'll show u around the city =)

hmm.. being in New York City watching the Yankees in the Bronx with a beautiful woman.. how awesome would that be?!!


well, the way things are going right now, a trip to NYC would be sheer luxury(i lost my job last Monday, and i'm in LA rethinking stuff); that trip would be a while if ever.. sorry, Lola (but a cool idea though! :) )

awwww, sorry about the job :-(...well u know what they say, no condition is permanent =), so i'm sure u will be back on ur feet soon =). i'm not moving anytime soon!

Lola, I was wondering when you'd stagger on back through the looking glass into the blogosphere. Welcome back to your blog. :-)> It's too bad that you didn't get to see a win for your friend's first game, but I had the feeling that the Yankees would struggle that day, with Scooter's unfortunate passing. There seemed to be a pall around the Yankees (at least from my observed distance). But they've bounced back with a vengeance, taking three of four and three straight against a good Tigers team. I also love the bullpen work lately. Chamberlain is the real deal, Ramirez has been impressive also, and even Nuke LaFarnsworth has been sharp his last four appearances. Outstanding.


Enjoy the rest of the season. Don't be a stranger, here or elsewhere. You help add a bounce to our steps as Yankees fans. I have a good feeling about this road trip (I'm predicting 5-2 in the seven games against the Angels and Detroit, and at least two of those in Anaheim). Onward and upward.

Levelboss, I'm sorry to hear about your job. That's bad news, and I wish I could buy you a beer and give you a pat on the shoulder. I hope that you bounce back, find the job and place you're looking for to be happy, and that this stretch doesn't set you back too far. Keep in touch. If nothing else, we're good for keeping the spirits up.
