I am so hoping that Oregon State will kick butt this afternoon and win the College World Series. That way they would be the team that was the last pick to come into the tournament and then win it without losing any games.
I am very impressed with head coach Pat Casey, who seems to have instilled a real sense of team cohesion and respect in these guys. I also think that the players are a wonderful example of how to be thinking of the group as a whole, without individual egos getting in the way.
Shortstop Darwin Barney is a favorite of mine. He has that chatty, sparkly personality that is so fun to watch. Interestingly, we share a November 8th birthday. No wonder I like him...
Go OSU.
UPDATE: We won! And it was a really fun game to watch. Congrats, Beavs...you've done Oregon proud!
I'm playing catch-up and a) Sorry you haven't been feeling well, and hope you're doing better now, b) I'm hoping your other test comes back great; c) I didn't have a Tinkle Toy specifically, but I did have some sewing cards (on hardboard) with characters printed on 2 sides that were similar to what you described; d) I'm not much of a sports fan, but I'm glad your team won! and finally, e) I love your new header with the photo of you and your dh - you guys look great.

Diane--does OSU have any BAD teams? If they do, please let me know. Alison will be down there for gymnastics camp in early July. That program utterly rocks too.
