So I go away for a few days, and the next I thing I know, the other Ladies… have conquered the world. Fantastic work, y’all!
I’m airport blogging it again this week, this time from scenic LaGuardia Airport in New York (thanks to a cancellation of my flight back to Chicago from Boston yesterday) — so let’s all get caught up on the latest hottie news together, shall we?
The scenery in Pawtucket is lovely this time of year.
* While the big boy Sox didn’t fare so well against the Angels on Sunday (maybe they were hungover from Saturday’s night’s 10-run tear?), the AAA-PawSox were looking mighty fine against the Syracuse Chiefs on Sunday in Pawtucket. Ladies’ mascot Jacoby Ellsbury, freshly back from his appearance in Boston on Friday, scored the game-winning run.
* It was the Day of the Pitcher on Sunday: the Twins’ Johan Santana fanned a career-high 17 batters, the Braves’ John Smoltz struck out 12 en route to a club record, and the Padres’ Greg Maddux prevented a Houston sweep and picked up career W #342. Maddux and Smoltz just go to show that hottness knows no age.
* Roger Federer picked up his 50th career tournament championship, beating out James Blake at the Western & Southern Financial Group Masters. As a non-tennis girl, I’m not even sure what that is– but I do know 50 victories is HOT.
* [This spot reserved for hottie news item on Carlos Zambrano and/or Ryan Theriot]. Unfortunately, mother nature decided not to cooperate, forcing a postponement thanks to rain of yesterday’s Cubs-Cards night game (and my flight back home!). Don’t worry, Cards, you’ll get yours today- so I’ll just post a cutie pitcher picture (see what I did there?) of today’s Cubbies starter Ted Lilly.

Love the Pawsox stadium. We went a few times when we lived in Providence; that’s old-timey baseball at it’s best.

I would’ve given a write-up of my weekend trip to DC & RFK. But I don’t really remember much of what happened…
Lilly looks too cute in that pic.

The Cards have gotten theirs the last two days. Today, victory is OURS!

Agreed, dctrojan – McCoy was beautiful. Of course, it may have been made more beautiful by the presence of Jacoby and Brandon Moss…
And Metsy, my camera tells me I was at three Red Sox games in Fenway on Friday and Saturday (particularly the multitude of picture of Papyboo and Beckett and Jacoby)… but I remember little of any of it- EXCEPT FOR ERIC EFFIN’ GAGNE.

TG: that’s where I went wrong. I didn’t take my camera.

Texy, when does the statute of limitations run out on “Even as a Cubs fan, I’m just so blown away by what Rick Ankiel has accomplished!” He KILLED us today!
August 20, 2007 at 8:26 pm |
Sorry, I meant to do that post as Chitown Tiger. I have too many personalities! :)

Ankiel is hot- Andie already made me admit that (retch)… but that’s all he’s gonna get from me.
Do you hear me, Ankiel?!? I’m not falling for your heartstring-tugging hard luck story! I WON’T!
August 21, 2007 at 1:30 am |
Ankiel is a hot boy who had a rough home life, dad in and out of prison, lots of fighting. And look what he’s done! It’s amazing! So heart-warming!

Does he have a three-legged dog, too? Boo-hoo!
August 21, 2007 at 9:42 am |
Hey, you brought the Cubs song into my thread about Ankiel. You can take it, Chitowntiger.
August 21, 2007 at 12:16 pm |
Not only does he have a three-legged dog, his cat is missing an eye and his bird thinks it’s a fish.
August 21, 2007 at 3:43 pm |
at least his pets’ heads aren’t falling off.
