Baseball or circus?
You decide.
These Yankee games against the Rangers have been bizarre. Balks, weird plays around the plate, Cano arguing with an ump while the ball was still in play, like he didn't learn anything from Chuck Knoblauch doing that during the friggin' playoffs...
Joba out, Pettitte falling apart, grand slam palooza...
And Nolan Ryan looks like crap, wow. It's one thing to age, but it can be done well.
I don't mind the Yankees losing. Okay, I do, but I know you can't win them all. But I'd really like it if they didn't embarrass themselves out there. God.
Shit, and now Pudge is down and possibly out, as is their guy Murphy.
Could the Yankees please not lose any more people to injuries? Sheesh. It's baseball, not hockey or football, what's with everyone getting hurt?

In other news, I was skipping through SV's Justice and my dad asked about Lana having dark hair. Though since she's not even in that ep, I have no idea how she came into the conversation. Clearly she still has power over people who don't love her. Anyway, my dad pointed out that in the comics Lana isn't a brunette. I proceeded to explain how they wanted an "all American girl" for Lana and an "ethnic" girl for Chloe, but that the producers fell in love with Kristin Kreuk, which is why they went with her for Lana and went with a blonde for Chloe.
My dad's response? "These guys should get their heads out of their asses."

I guess this makes up for him kind of flipping out the other night when my mom served him peas with dinner...
He always questions why I keep watching SV, and there's no way for me to really get it through to him. The time spent already, etc. I certainly can't tell him, "The porn, duh!"

I intend to read all your Brex fic reposts when I get home, yay!

My parents offer me things I don't like because they forget I don't like them. Like my mom and the stupid carrots.
I think you've read most if not all of the Brex stuff, but the stories are certainly there to be reread if you feel so inclined. :)
