(Yeah, skip over this post)

Can't wait to read the articles on this one. 0-0 heading until the bottom of the 14th. 2 outs. 2 on. Every other baseball game has been over for ages.

Ken Griffey Jr. pinch hits and the crowd automatically rises to its feet. Everyone has their cameras out. (This happens often for him. Even more so when it's this kind of at bat.)

And he wins it with a base hit.

I don't know if this is going to be Junior's last year. I don't know if it should be. I love him way too much to be impartial. But if it is, I hope he announces it. He means so much to Seattle. Safeco Field is referred to as "the House that Griffey built." And it's true. The Mariners would be long gone if it weren't for Junior and that magic season of 1995. (Literally. We'd voted down a new stadium, and then when the Mariners started winning, a special session was called to approve funding.) And the fact that he came back to the team and that he still has moments like this . . . I want us to have a chance to show our appreciation to him.

Yeah. That, too. And I think . . . I know they're trying to play it for comedy, but I guess, even putting aside all the other issues I mentioned, if you're going to make me believe Dale is maybe going to lose his virginity (when his purity pledge has been a HUGE part of his character) . . . I don't want it to go that way. I need to see more of it and I need to believe in it, you know?

I really hope Dale doesn't lose his virginity to her. If he is going to do it, it should be with someone he really loves, and they haven't shown us that with Nina (is that even her name? I'm not even sure)

I can't even remember her name! But, yeah, I guess that's what I was trying to say. If you're going to show Dale tempted, make it because he loves her. I feel like Dale could resist all the other pressures of sex.

I mean obviously he's going to be tempted if a woman is throwing herself at him, he is a teenaged boy after all. I just really hope he stays strong!

Yeah, I just feel like it's so important that Dale, he should be able to resist! I always felt like he had a good idea of the temptations--not that he's not tempted, but that he really WAS strong enough to resist them.

Plus, I'd just like to see him get a real romance I can believe in. He's a good guy!

Hahaha, Dale is hilarious. I didn't expect to like him as much as I do!

SAME. I thought he'd be forever annoying!

I think that's what I like most about Greek. I mean people you wouldn't expect become friends all the time.

YES. How awesome was it when we found out Dale and Cappie talk on the phone all the time? And the way Casey fought to keep Rebecca in the sorority!

I loled forever when Dale called Cappie Chip

Okay, I will stop procrastinating and actually write the Greek entry I have been meaning to do for several hours now.

YAY! Then I shouldn't tell you this, but I will because otherwise I'll forget. Watch this adorable interview of Rachel McAdams basically spoiling all of The Time Travler's Wife:

This is one of the few times I hate living in Canada. GRR. It won't let me :(

OH NO. Try youtubing it, maybe? :-/

Yeah, I will :)
