Oh For The Love Of Baseball

I went to an Astros game tonight. It was a great night for baseball. There was a lot of energy as members of my church gathered to watch America's favorite past time and to see our pastor Gregg Matte throw the first pitch. It was really very exciting, Roger Clemens was pitching and we are on a winning spree.

As I stood with some friends as they waited in line for dinner I noticed Matthew McConaughey walking behind me. It was rather bizarre to me because this week I had been discussing him with a co-worker, discussed him with my friend David Hilburn and read about him on the internet.

He was stealth in his attempt to cut in line but it did not go unnoticed by me as I don't miss much of what is going on around me. I spoke to him with disdain as if he were an ordinary fan of baseball coming to watch the best baseball club. Yes, I know this is not factual but to me they are the best. I actually said to Matthew "who do you think you are cutting in line". It was a great moment as I watched a look of shock cross his face, I'm sure he is accustomed to women swooning over him. As I stood one foot away from him I could not help but notice how unattractive he appeared to me. I'm not one to get swept up with hollywood stars and such. In fact, I could not name one that I would just love to get to know. Now when it comes to baseball players it is a different story but we don't need to discuss that at this time.

I made several conspicuous attempts to get a picture of Matthew with my camera phone and had to give up with a profile shot. It was a fun moment as I conversed with Matthew and his friend who at the time I did not realize was Lance Armstrong. Yes, I said Lance Armstrong. I actually asked him if he thought Matthew would mind if I took his picture. I'm sure he was thinking to himself what about me lady! I actually had to look him up on the internet when I got home to confirm that it was him as I really have not paid close enough attention to recognize him. Of course, he was a bit over shadowed by Matthew McConaughey who I will just say is really not all that!

Now, back to my baseball players. Tonight was the fourth baseball game in a row that I have been to in the last 2 months where a couple gets engaged on the big screen. At first this was freaking me out but tonight I decided that it is a sign ... I'm going to marry an Astros baseball player.

It's okay to laugh!
