Baseball, baseball, baseball

What a game, Rox!

I got to experience one of the ultimate accomplishments in baseball – a perfect game! And what a game it was, Dear Roxy.

Roy Halladay pitched a perfect game against our home team, the Florida Marlins, Saturday night.

I was of course rooting for the Marlins, but by the time the game hit the 7th inning, we all knew we could become part of something big and all rooted for the same guy… except for a few diehards. Check out the last out below.

The goose bumps, the elation, the whole thing was surreal. Halladay even got fireworks at the end of the game. Partly because it was Super Saturday and there was a concert following the game, but you get it. Congrats, Roy!

In other baseball news, Derek Jeter’s 15th anniversary in the Big Leagues came and went this weekend. Congrats, D, and please get better!

FIU’s Garrett Wittels extended his hitting streak to 54 games! How cool is that?! Congratulations to a fellow Golden Panther.

One more congratulations. This time is to the Yankees' Nick Swisher and actress Joanna Garcia for their engagement. These Yankees love actresses.

Blah on the NBA Finals, although I’ll be “rooting” for the Celtics. And the only reason I know the Flyers are on the NHL finals is because my Phillies neighbor at the ballgame was talking to me about it.

World Cup starts on 10!!!!
