Musings from Mandy

An Exclusive Thank you Offer Dear Amanda, Pitching, pitching, pitching. You've got to love what the Rangers showed the Red Sox in their first series of 2007 at Rangers Ballpark. Robinson Tejeda reeled off seven impressive innings in the home opener victory, followed by six strong from staff ace Kevin Millwood in Saturday's win. Vicente Padilla then took the mound on Sunday and produced seven innings of his own with only three runs allowed. Not bad. Not bad at all. And, you know, as the weather heats up, so too will the Rangers bats. Michael Young, Mark Teixeira, Kenny Lofton, Hank Blalock, Sammy Sosa...that's an All-Star lineup if ever there was one. Yes, this is shaping up to be an exciting summer of baseball here in Texas! Don't miss a single second of the action with an exclusive Grand Slam Pick 3 Plan with savings up to 50% off regular individual game ticket prices.

Here is Kerry's rebuttle to mine and Katie's Texas Recaps... ok 1st things first it didn't matter what kind of car we had cuz as you remember we were with Colleen, and that suitcase wasn't gonna fit anywhere... 2. I tried getting out of the car but someone pushed me back into it (actually by my face) and I am pretty certain it was Katie! 3. You left out the fact that we are now gonna have to go to Laconia to kick some hill-billy ass 4. That even though Katie "made" herself throw up I am still the champ!!

As I said...I missed a few things...here are Katie's corrections: Considering you were comatose for a few days, I'm going to fill in the blanks for you/make some corrections: 1. Kerry and Colleen are the a-holes that wanted the PT Cruiser. Maybe if they had listened to us when we said the luggae wouldn't fit in the trunk, then Colleen wouldn't have been practically sitting on my lap on the way to the airport while she was vomiting. 2. I would gladly give up Youk for Mark. 3. When describing the scenary in TX you forgot to mention the Waffle House and Whattaburger. And the lack of cattle roaming free. 4. Humperdinks is the correct name. However, we took to calling it Tiddlywinks. 5. It might have been too cold to drink mixed drinks, but it was not too cold to drink beer. You should man up and try it. 6. You neglected to mention the sketchy friend who went to St Johns that we met at the Wyndham who swore that Peabody is a 10 minute drive from Boston. 7. We didn't ACCI...

Okay, as promised, a Texas recap. Also as promised, giant bits of information are probably missing. Friday We started off Friday morning at 4:00, with Kerry’s alarm does not go off. Great way to start the day. Kerry and I had to get ready in 6 minutes. Clearly Colleen was not involved. We flew out of Manchester and arrived in Newark at 7:33 with exactly 33 minutes to go from Terminal C to Terminal A. Good work Expedia. (more on them and how I plane to take down their entire corporation in a little bit). Anyway, after nearly missing the shuttle bus, running up and down the terminals, we arrive at our gate. The Continental lady gives us a knowing look, “Manchester?”. We get onto the plane and the flight attendant greets us with a, “We didn’t think you would make it!”. We finally get to Dallas about 11:30, grab our bags (just kidding, Continental lost those. More on how I plan to take them down in just a bit). After filling out the freaking lost baggage claim, we grab our re...

Me and my friend, Josh the bartender, who quickly became my enemy after some shot (shots?)of Jack Daniels. me and my new best friends Rob and ______? Me and ___________? Me, Kerry and a boy who appears to be 14 years old?

Curt walking in. I would have paid him 500 bucks for that parka. Manny Again...we were in left field for the whole series. Literally and figuratively .

Here are a few picks from Texas... The Ballpark At Arlington. Nice place, but I wouldn't want to live there. I guess their fans didn't know there was a game that day? Manny, David and Lugo love Sammy Sosa. Plenty of room for everyone... David.
