LA, San Diego, The New Mets and The OC

Big weekend down in Southern Cal. Good times with KFC, Haef the Goalie and crew. Caught up with the Hulk, running the show over at Spago.

I hit up Petco Park on Sunday with the Kman. That place is a fucking goldmine. People in San Diego really know what they are doing. There is more talent at their baseball games than there is in the entire city of San Francisco. So either the chicks really like going to baseball games or there are just a ton of hot girls in that city. Either way, it's a pretty sweet deal.



So of course we had the pleasure of catching the New Mets when Victor "The Loser" was on the mound and Carlos "The Panzi" was whining through another series.

With Zambrano, simply put, the dude needs to go. He sucks, is hateable and doesn't even have solid warmup music, the only thing keeping Kaz around. The guy is a bum, and still merits Kazmir text messages from a fiery Goat.

I don't know what the answer is but this guy going on the hill is just depressing, which particularly sucks in a season that is otherwise as exciting as any we have had.



Anyway, Petco was a gem. Just a great place to catch a game. Unfortunately we picked the game where the Monster was getting a day off, but we were also able to catch Killer Cam's first start of the season.

Man, if you guys could have only seen Cam and Uncle, or the way that Cam didn't throw to the plate in the 6th because he wanted to let Cliff score and help his stats. I miss that guy.

2-2 on the trip, not bad so far. I got three in San Fran this week so I couldn't be more excited. In fact, I havent been this happy since Saturday night.

Kenny From Camp hooked us up at the OC Wrap Party.



We get to this open bar shinding at this swanky Santa Monica night spot. Rachel Bilson is giggling, standing a lovely 4'6", and perfect.

We ripped some shots with Julie Cooper who is about as hot in person as well... she's ridiculous. Ben Mckenzie talked shop. Turns out to be a really, really good guy. Not to mention that he had 5 10's throwing themselves at him. Kid has a very solid life.

Adam Brody turns out, like his character to be a giant nerd. Oh well, there were still a ton of good times, the KMan was on his A Game and I realized there is a decent chance that I break into acting. Those kids have the fucking life.

And finally, the highlight of the weekend.



Back to the Mets here. For those who missed it, you flat our missed the funniest story ever. Keith was going off on one his self-praising tangents, which he is good for at least 5 times a game. I love every minute of them.

Anyway, Keith is talking about the extra inning playoff game against the 'Stros back in '86. The game was a marathon and clearly a game of ridiculous significance.

Keith, bold as ever, spits out that he must have smoked "two and a half packs of cigarettes that game."

Man do I love the Keith. I'm not sure what is better, the thought of Keith smoking three cigarettes every time the Mets were at the plate or Gary Cohen's reaction to Keith: "That's a lot of cigarettes."

I am so proud to be a Mets fan.

Anyone who wants to come out to SF this week for the games, let me know.

VCD,

SM

Special thanks to K Man, Zimmy, Haef, Hulk, Hank, Hillary, Heather, Joe and everyone out in LA for the great weekend.
