10/10

crazy crazy day.

so  i awoke around 11 and decided taco bell would please my pallate, so i went to taco bell for lunch. After ordering my food at the drive through i noticed my work called. they wanted me to come in early due to an emergency in the store managers family, resulting in a really low staff.

so i arrived at work at 12. work was slow at 1st, then all the sudden for a good 2-3 hours it got insane. we had 4 people working in the building total. It was a free for all for employees if you wanted a break or lunch. just let someone know that your leaving, and then you’d be called back to the floor regardless.

anyways, i escaped my job at 6pm. Went home, ate a decent bbq steak dinner, showered and went to my church interview. In 3-4 weeks time, i will receive my mission call. I’m getting excited for this new chapter in my life, and i’m really going to start preparing for it.

in other news.

im getting really excited for the AL and NL championship series coming up in the playoffs. My team is colorado (thanks to my loyalty to my favorite player: todd helton, since the late 90’s). Colorado – Arizona is going to be a great series in my opinion. Both teams have an ACE starter. Jeff Francis(17-9) for the rocks will be facing Brandon Webb (18-10)in the series opener.

The rest of the rotations are average. Arizona’s does feature old rubber armed Livan Hernandez, and Youngster Micah Owings. Owings had two 4+ hit offensive games this year, including an 8 RBI performance one game, plus hes a talented young pitcher. Colorado and Arizona have airtight bullpens, with Colorado getting the edge.

Both teams boast a strong offense and i predict that there will be a couple high scoring showdowns in the series. Namely in Colorado when both teams average starters will get demolished in a coor’s field fashion.

I hope that Colorado holds on through this series. Catch it on TBS starting on thursday night.

I’ll be writing more on the Cleveland – Boston series as well.

lastly, Colorado has won 17 of their last 18 games. The last loss was September 28th i believe, against the Arizona Diamondbacks ironicly.

I’m going to bed. work in the late morning-early afternoonish.
