Save Veronica

Now that the Jerico NUTS! campaign has proven to be a success, folks at Ain't It Cool are organizing a Mars Bars campaign to send as many Mars bars as possible to the president of the CW as a plea to renew the show. These fine folks have also put together several campaigns and are working hard to raise awareness. We'll see how all this pans out.

500

Last night I had the pleasure of watching Trevor Hoffman get his 500th save. It was pretty cool, especially since it was a win over the Dodgers. It was also the first time I've been to Petco Park, which was amazing, and the first Padres game I've been to in years. When I was growing up, baseball was a very important part of my life. I went to countless Padres games. My room was full of various memorabilia. When my dad died, that all kind of died too. I stopped following baseball all together. When I got to the game yesterday, I realized the only player I knew was still playing for the Padres was Hoffman. I sounded like an old fogey telling my friends about the game I went to back in the late 80's when the Padres were playing the Braves and Dale Murphy hit a game winning home run over Tony Gwynn's head. "Who the hell is Dale Murphy?" my friend asked. This quickly brought me back to reality. Almost all the players I grew up on have retired and I don't really have any new favorites to replace them. I had a blast last night hanging out and watching the game. Hopefully this will be the start of a new wave of fandom for me, a fresh start. I'm keeping my brown and orange hat though, no matter how outdated it makes me look.
