I AM REBECCA DEMORNAY

What the HELL DOES THAT MEAN? You ask? Okay, well, in the 80s there was a baseball movie (and I use that term loosely, it was more like a chick flick with baseball in it) called The Sluggers Wife. In The Sluggers Wife, Michael O'Keefe, who you all know, I believe as "Danny" from Caddyshack (i could be wrong there...) is a ballplayer for the Braves who sucks. Until he meets super-hot Rebecca DeMornay, who plays the part of some dive-band lead singer chick. Long story short, when she's not at the games, he blows. When she's there, or he calls her on the bullpen phone before At Bats, he makes a run at Maris's HR record. Cheesey 80s garbage, yes. But also harmless baseball fun. I distinctly remember this being one of my sister's favourite movies as a kid. (That should be telling in an of itself, her favourite movies include Patch Adams, Airborne, and Grease, with only ONE of those being a legitimately decent movie.) But I digress.

Anywho, last night Kup convinced me to go to the Pirates game, which, sure enough, led to them having another incredibly memorable win. Between Kup and I, we've been present for EVERY BIG GAME they've had this year, and that's not even a lie. I'm not going to jinx it and outline it all, but maybe I'll explain more in depth at the end of the season.

Moving right along, last night Rob Mackowiak had yet ANOTHER Game-Winning RBI with me in attendance. I've seen the Pirates win eight games this year, and he's had the GWRBI in FOUR of them. Ridiculousness.

I actually ran through all his stats for all 12 games I've been to, and when extrapolated to a 162 game season, Rob Mackowiak would hit 40 HOME RUNS with 162 RBI! That's is insane! INSANE! I'm going to dilligently wait next to my phone today for Rob to call and ask me to come to every game for the rest of his career. If he knows what's good for him, he will.

Anyway, that's about it from me for this Wednesday-- It's Uram's day, although I don't know if he'll be sending anything along, as he's currently training for his new job, and is stranded in Grove City, PA. (Normally, I'd insert an anti-GC joke in here, to make fun of Jeanie and AliMac, but it's Jeanie's birthweek, so she gets a repreive.)

Speaking of which! Happy Birthday, early, Jeanette! Tonight will, hopefully, be crazy-go-nuts. I know I'll do my part.

Alrighty, kids, kick back and wait for Uram (or Kup, possibly Pinch-Hitting) and in the meantime, send more opinions on quality fast food/drunk food.

Later,
