Shh...don't tell!

Such a lovely, lovely thing to be able to watch a beautiful, sunny baseball game while suffering the slings and arrows of a day at the office without worrying that someone important is going to drop by, as all of our upper management, including my boss, are in Istanbul for a conference. Us peon types are the only ones left, confined by these drab gray walls and blinding fluorescent lights. Woohoo! Aurillia hits a two run bomb! Reds up, 4-2. Anyway, did I mention that MLB.TV is great? I have the sound turned off and am listening to Marty and Steve on the radio broadcast, although somehow, the tv, which had been a bit ahead of the radio, is now a bit behind the radio. Technology, hmph. I'm not complaining. I'm watching the Reds. At work. In Washington, DC.

Dunn is all smiles and is waving to the crowd after catching a ball in left field. The guy has a great sense of humor. How can you NOT like the guy?

Arroyo's doing it with the bat so far today, hitting one out, laying down a perfect sac bunt, and drawing a walk. Oh yeah, and he's pitching pretty well, too, messing up once for a two-run shot by Ramirez.

Griffey went yard, too. Love that guy.

I wanted to point out a couple of blogs I've added to my blogroll:

Chad Gramling, a Cubs fan, has a nice description of his Opening Day experience in Cincy on Monday.

Ballbug is a great place to find baseball news from the press around the country.

Baseball Bias features articles by bloggers from teams all over the league.

Update: Sweeeeeeeeeeeet! Nothing better than hearing Marty say, "...and this one belongs to the Reds!" (Thanks, Marty, for mentioning my blog on the radio!)

Listening to the broadcast up here in Alaska on MLB.Audio!! and just heard Marty mention your blog. how about that? i guess your famous now. I must confess though, I am a Mets fan who's just listening to the best game on now while killing time before listening to the Mets vs. Nats in a couple hours.

That was pretty cool, wasn't it? Thanks, Marty!

I will be rooting for the Nats against the Mets! ;) It's all about baseball.

Great hearing you mentioned on the radio today and what a game it was.
And this one belongs to the REDS!
