World Baseball Classic, Anyone?

Considering that it's PMS Week at my house, my kids are getting on my last nerve AND I was not able to get my cajun fries this afternoon (can you believe the Dept. of Health shut down the Popeye's near my job?!) I think last night's show on dealing with toddlers, with Jack as co-host, went pretty well.

Except for the part where BTR shut off on me for no reason... WTH was that about? Damn computers... anyways, feel free to check out the archived segment here, and leave me a comment on the BTR blog. Gracias!!

Now on with the show:

WOO HOO... It's back: The World Baseball Classic!!

Last time I was a bit peeved with Team Dominican Republic, but it's been a couple of years, and just like I forgave Beltran for not scoring in the bottom of the ninth in that last game against Florida in 2007, I forgave my compadres for losing to Cuba in 2006.

In March the first round of games begin; Team DR will be playing The Netherlands in Puerto Rico and I kind of want to go. First off I've always wanted to visit PR and second... Helloooo, McFlyyyy... it's BASEBALL! I have to go down there waving my flag and root root root for my team. Yes, MY team. Team DR.

My beloved Johan Santana is playing in Toronto for Venezuela, unfortunately, because, you know, it's where he's from. But I decided I can see him play all next year at Citifield. So while I love Johan dearly, I will not be rooting for his team in the WBC.

And A-Rod. GRRRR! Only Minaya brings more bile to the back of my throat than when I think of Alex Rodriguez. Yes, he's a great ball player and humanitarian, blah blah, blah but I plumb don't like the dude (to read a more diplomatic post on A-Rod at the WBC, visit Jose Vilson's Blog). But UGH UGH UGH!!! He's decided to play for Team DR. So I have to actually clap for him when he does well. AAACK!!

Whatever, I can't let that come mierda ruin my plans... I want to go to Puerto Rico, with my babies and Papi, watch our team play in the first round, and then maybe take some pictures in Old San Juan.

I suppose the upside to that is that perhaps I'll get to meet Madonna at the stadium...

*smooches...experiencing beisbol fever in December*

So... who's coming with me?!

OMG - why am I missing these? Where's the archive? I wanna hear u and Jack go at it. I need to totally co-host one of these one day. Let's talk about food baby!

Darius T. Williams said...

Oh yea, and being gay.

JACK said...

Look-uh here, Darius. If you wanna co-host about food, have at it ... but *I'VE* got the 'being gay' on LOCK 'round these parts here, ok? Don't make me ride the Red Line all day 'til I find you!

I'm just sayin ... I get possessive about my gay.

Re: this baseball game. Since your people seem to be trying to take over my island, moving over our way in DROVES, it seems befitting you hold your damn baseball game in PR, too. Is Puerta Plata broken or something?

I'm just sayin ... I get possessive about my PR.

ewww@alex rodriguez...i'm not sure what it is about that cat, but he rubs me the wrong way. he reminds me of kobe bryant. it just feels insincere and fake.

anyway, i'll be watching the classic. the men are beautiful!

The Jaded NYer said...

@darius- I'll see about moving the food segment up to early 09 so you can guest host

@jack- mira carajo, FIRST of all it's PUERTO PLATA, okay?

And SECOND of all, the WBC people picked the location NOT ME! If it were up to me they'd be playing in NYC so I don't have to travel any further than where my metrocard will take me.

And THIRD- why you only getting on the Dominicans? There are two other non-PR teams playing in that round, OK, like The Netherlands and Panama. But NOOOO, you want to take issues with US because your peeps stand between us and America?

YOU WANT THIS WAR?!?! Pues ANDALE... let's ROLL!

The Jaded NYer said...

@nikki- (now that I've finished yelling at Jack) Yes, girl Alex just UGH I get such a yuck vibe from that dude. But whatever... Japan won last time and I can't have none of that again. If Alex gets the job done I'll give him a pass just this once!

JACK said...

*yawn* What happened while I was away? *rubs sleep from eyes*

Oh, just another DR losing her mind again.

*walks out*

The Jaded NYer said...

WHAT THE...?

*stomps all over office throwing spare computer through the French doors of office, beating fax machine with the microwave*

*picks up phone*

"Hello, American Airlines? Yes, when's your next flight out to Chicago from the NY area?"

JACK said...

Operator: "Um, honey, this is AMERICAN airlines."

*dial tone*

The Jaded NYer said...

*grabs a Dominican gypsy cab on St. Nicholas*

"Oye, pana, un favorsito... tengo que visitar un amigito mio en Chicago que esta hablando mierda de nuestra gente. Son nadamas que diez horitas. Me llevas? Cool. Let's ROLL"

[insert maniacal laughter here, with a Spanish accent]

JACK said...

*packs shit up and calls Movers*

The F_Uitlist said...

I forgot what the post was about, after reading the dialogue back and forth with Jack. HAHA

Ah yes baseball, no World Baseball Classic for me! I will be watching my Knicks do nothing, and my future husband K-G rock out with the celtics. I'm all basketball until MLB starts.
