every girl has a secret stash.

books accompanying me to nyc. i read a lot.

1. It’s hard for Mets and Braves fans to be pals.

2. Rocky obviously doesn’t always win but for the purposes of this conversation, he does.

3. I really do hope he poops his pants.

4. Also, when shit is serious, the gloves come OFF. OFF.

“It looks like a duck fucked a green duster” was how this mascot above was described to me and I can’t disagree. This is going here and not on Curvesball because I’m TRYING to be somewhat neutral over there.

I always see Alcides Escobar listed on the players list in my fantasy baseball league as A. Escobar and every single time I spot it,  I stop and go, “HEY THAT’S ME”. Then I remember that he’s a professional baseball player holding a bat and I’m just a girl often found holding her Orphan leader action figure from The Warriors, as pictured above. “I don’t know what you’re talkin’ about, man. How could this be a big meeting if the Orphans wasn’t there?”

also, how about cc sabathia’s no-hitter? read more at curvesball, my new baseball blog. yes, this is a shameless plug.

I’ve had this a while in the works but hadn’t said much but now I thought I’d let you all know about it. I’m going to blog about baseball, not just my favorite teams but the ins and outs and fantasy baseball and season updates and baseball coming out of your ears, here at my new baseball blog, Curvesball, which is obviously one girl’s take on baseball. So if you love the great American pastime as much as I do, please follow! And any reblogs to help promote would be lovely! Thanks, wonderful readers.

Vitamin Water knows how to sell shit. First, the Steve Nash ad which was brilliant and now this ad has not only the cutest Met of all, David Wright, but Jersey Shore’s The Situation (plus the Rocky theme!) in a hilarious training montage.

i forgot i took this on wednesday! citifield, mets fans.

HEY BASEBALL HEY

GPOYW: GUESS WHAT I’M DOING TODAY

on another note, i emailed this to my dad the yankees fan and he replied a few minutes later, “i’m so disappointed. is this what dads feel like when their daughter gets on the back of some bad guy’s motorcycle and rides off?”

pillow talk topics of conversation with my boyfriend

(this is not me and my boyfriend; i am neither blonde nor a virgin and he is not secretly gay. AS FAR AS I KNOW.)

1. our mutual desire to adopt a pug one day and name it apl.de.ap after the black eyed peas singer of the same name. the dog’s name would always have to be said in a german accent.

2. his attempts at recalling the irish children’s tv show about a “fancy pig in a sweater” and a “jewish duck who may have been named shylock”. turns out it was jakers! the adventures of piggley winks which does in fact “sound like piggly wiggly”.

3. the fact that spring training baseball game coverage is more like Mom TV with all of its constant zooming in on babies in team jerseys and napping kids drooling. “OOOH LOOKS LIKE DAD MAY HAVE GIVEN THE LITTLE ONES TOO MUCH ICE CREAM: MOM TV”

4. how movies are marketed differently to men and women. also, how michael bay is probably the devil.

5. the very true fact that the only thing scarier than the holocaust is jerry lewis playing a clown at auschwitz.
