Zito is on the Twitter?!?

PacBellBoozer — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 21:53:53 -0000

Alright, I'll admit it...I'm hooked on Twitter! It's my crack pipe...where just a puff or two a day is never enough. The voyeur in me enjoys this new technology as it gives me a peek into the lives of friends/celebs/or anyone infinitely more interesting than yours truly. The thing is, is that I've quickly learned that there's many things I wish I didn't know about the above mentioned friends/celebs/etc. A bit of digging, and what's this...Our very own lefty albatross tweets for those that might be interested. His "Greatest Hits" to date: @BarryZito

"Every single person is incredible. Like an oasis. You can either irrigate the oasis, or get very bad water-yoko ono"

Uh, dude...you're quoting Yoko Ono. WTF?

"I'm wondering always if microwaves are really that bad for us, the part of me that needs to spend 25 min not using the oven says no."

I've got this image in my head of Barry staring blankly into the microwave with a certain bit of wonder and intrigue. Step back from the radiation bro, it'll fry your brain!

"Been into new and old Ne-Yo lately, and wearing short shorts to the pool"

I'll let him slide on the Ne-Yo, but short shorts?!? Dude, the line between quirky and flat-out bat-shit crazy is a thin one.

"Got a pair of Heely's today(those wheel shoes thingies)...one step closer on the journey of being more childlike."

We're pretty much on the hook for the rest of his salary if he was to pull a Monta Ellis or Jeff Kent, right? Would be a shame if something was to happen to him and we could void that mistake of a contract. I'm just sayin.

So that being said, what are your thoughts on the above? Do you tweet and if so, what's your "handle"? Anyone know of any other players or staff in the orginization that are on Twitter too?

P.S. I've rarely got anything interesting to say, but look me up if you're so inclined @sac_magpie.

Never too early to start the hate.

A lil' bit of help needed.

Greetings fellow fans. Here's the deal, I'm living up from Sacramento and am trying to arrange a mid-season trip to Eugene to catch a game with the parents who'll be driving over from Central Oregon. Does anyone have some suggestions for single game tickets? (Specifically for the Stanford or UCLA game) I'm willing to pay 2 or 3 times above face value, but don't want to go through craigslist or something like that. I want some legitimate tickets here, not some con-job or SRO kinda thing. Three tickets at somewhere around the 20 yd. line would do me fine! Down here StubHub is fairly reliable but is there anything else out there that someone can suggest?

Also, the folks are thinking about driving the new giant-sized motorhome over for a little bit of tailgating. It's been a LONG time since I was last at Autzen, so does anyone know if there's some reasonable parking options for a single-game basis. I've looked at the school website and it looks like you need some sort of special reserved/donor pass for RV parking. Is that really the case?!?

If any of you would be willing to part with your tickets or know somebody that knows somebody, email me at SacTown.Magpie at gmail dot com and I'll get right back to you.

Gracias, and Go Ducks!

OT: Take me out to the ballgame!

Will someone please tell Peter Gammons to not give up his day job? (scroll down for his "entry")

So here's the deal...I'm a bit conflicted. I love, love, loves me some Ozomatli, but I'm not a big fan of their rendition. That's most definitely because they're pimping the whores in blue, but ya...I guess we can't all be perfect.

I'm really liking the "ol' timer" rendition by the Punch Brothers. That's the way the song is supposed to be played. Also, has anyone ever heard of these guys before? What's their claim to fame?

As for Gretchen Wilson...uh, ya...who knew she was transformed into a teenie-bopper ala Miley Cyrus, BLAH.....I've always kinda liked her because she wasn't that stereotypical female country artist...but ya...she murdered the song and if I could give her a -1,000,000 I would.

To the REO Speedwagon dudes....uh, ya...just give up already. Talk about being uninspired!

Candlebox - FAIL....a guitar solo?!? Just what were you thinking?

It's really a shame that Branford Marsalis wasn't a finalist, because he'd surely be getting my vote. The musicianship coming out of this guy is 2nd to none when compared to the rest of the dreck on that page.

Your thoughts?

Ok....so first off, let me say that I'm all about "America, Fuck ya!", especially on this Day of Independence, but will someone tell me what proud history the city of Chicago has with our armed services? I have no problem at all with how San Diego pulls this off for Sunday games and other holidays, but that's because San Diego is the west-coast home to the Navy and Camp Pendleton is close by...but Chicago?!? What am I missing here?

Rivercats v. Grizzlies series coming up this week...

PacBellBoozer — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 06:41:37 -0000

Hey y'all! So the Grizzlies are finally coming to Sacramento for a series against the Rivercats. I'll be going to the game on Friday night.

Is anyone else planning on coming over to see just how our farm-club is shaping up? If so, I'd be up for meeting up sometime during or after the game if you're feeling up for it. Oh, and if you're coming over from the bay area, avoid I-5 at all costs. There's some hefty construction going on and on Friday I believe that all of the southbound lanes will be shut down from Richards Boulevard to the Business 80 interchange. Your best bet is to probably cut through West Sacramento or take Business 80 to Northbound I-5.

So ya, lemme know if you are coming over to smell the all the bovine freshness this majestic place has to offer and you wanna meet up. Also, I'll probably try taking my digi-cam in with me, so if there's any pictures you'd like, lemme know.

Oh, and of course the first round of drinks are always on me!

So I was curious tonight...curious as to what happened to my most favorite bullpen arm of all time. You know the guy I'm talking about. Made famous by "doing his job". Eating every Bay-area Krispy Kreme out of business. Well by golly, take a look at this...our good friend is looking for his 1453rd chance in the majors.

Blue Jays Transactions

What an effing douchebag! I pray for the day that this putz is in my section for a game.
