今天學會了一個新的英文單字-lonesome! 大家都說找到了喜歡的興趣與目標都不會感到寂寞，屁!! 打了快一年的棒球為什麼在此刻我覺得孤獨感足以殺死我。男人大概就是什麼都要撐住、忍下來吧，難道說每次難過就到處找人擁抱···哈哈!! 因為寂寞去愛一個人?算了吧···

3:20分從學校做完重訓之後就回家了，吃個飯‧‧‧陷入了"無聊"的狀態，對就是無聊。依直到現在11:00pm還是無聊(可是不想睡)，有可能是看完"狼與香辛料"之後覺得空虛吧，但是真的很好看‧‧‧胡言-亂語‧‧‧

2009年無疑是我這輩子最重要也是最快樂的一年。還記得1月初半夜2:00左右打電話給Eric我興奮的說我找到了我人身的目標-職棒選手。到此很多人一定會笑著說不可能! 白費力氣! 讀書要緊...等等，但我認為晚別人多久就多幾倍的練習就行了。如果真的有些事情是無論多努力也無法達成，那我願意用這努力換一個能最接近欣賞他的距離。今年年初才剛開始接觸棒球的我如今正在準備加入EDCC的正式校隊成員，起初毫不猶豫就選擇當一名左打(我是個右撇子)或許是受到Ichiro Suzuki影響吧，那個時候我們在家裡的客廳還有廚房打了小型的棒球(Wiffle ball跟塑膠棒)有投手、打者還有主審呢!! 到了3、4月開始用軟式棒球配鋁棒後來6月初時接觸了硬式棒球還有木棒。用木棒的感覺真是不可言喻，怎麼說呢? 那感覺非常的扎實有力好像把大砲打出去一樣的有魄力有力量。說到投球~真是差勁到不行Eric跟Nic還由有Simon還常被我砸呢(嘆~)還好那個時候球速也不快50mph而已吧。暑假中有Jerry、小南還有橫田直陪我練習技巧也有明顯的進步了，但是控球還是時有時無、打擊也是好不到哪裡去。Fall Quarter我上了棒球課(跟校隊一起做簡單的練習)在10/22我又開始練右打了而且打得還不差，我想之後一陣子我都會以一個Swich Hitter練習吧。更重要的是我在當天的練習結束之後更是直抓到了打擊的感覺(跟著這感覺走以後應該是沒問題了吧)，投球方面無論是上肩、3/4或是側投都有大幅的增進了控球力，其中上肩為最快、側投控球最佳。只是覺得守備的練習真的太少了應該去跟教練反映的(想當三壘或左外野手)。 Baseball in Northwest.....我們需要一個蓋子吧!!我想

SEATTLE – Franklin Gutierrez singled under the glove of third baseman Mike Lowell to score Ronny Cedeno with two outs in the ninth inning, and the Seattle Mariners took advantage of a key error by Boston to beat the Red Sox 3-2 on Sunday. Cedeno reached second with two outs, after what should have been his third-out grounder was thrown into a camera well behind first base on the fly by shortstop Nick Green for a generously scored single and error, Green's second of the game and eighth of the season. Ramon Ramirez (4-1), who had allowed one run in 20 1-3 innings coming in, intentionally walked Ichiro Suzuki before Gutierrez finally ended the game. The Red Sox blew a chance in the ninth when Jason Varitek doubled and Nick Green walked with one out against David Aardsma (1-1). Jacoby Ellsbury popped out to the infield and angrily slapped his bat, and Dustin Pedroia flied out to keep the game tied. The Red Sox went 2-4 on their final West Coast swing of the season, with power-starved slugger David Ortiz watching the last three games from the bench. Seattle won for just the third time in 13 games. Rocco Baldelli was 0 for 11 with seven strikeouts as the designated hitter for Ortiz. J.D. Drew and Jason Bay were 3 for 11 (.272) with one strikeout and one extra-base hit in Ortiz's usual No. 3 spot in the batting order. Seattle won the series despite its supposed run producers, Ken Griffey Jr. and Adrian Beltre, going a combined 1 for 23 (.043). They stranded four base runners Sunday, and 10 in the series. When Griffey flied out and Beltre hit into an inning-ending double play to kill a two-on, no-out rally in the fifth, Griffey and Beltre had gone a combined 24 at-bats without a hit. That wasn't the only squandered scoring chance — and far from the most bizarre one. Boston loaded the bases with no outs in the fifth inning of a tie game against Jason Vargas, but Bay — batting third for the second time this season — fouled out and Lowell ended the inning with a deflating double play that kept the game tied at 2. It stayed tied through the sixth, after Seattle's Rob Johnson sacrificed Wladimir Balentien to second. Johnson thought his bunt was foul, but plate umpire Jim Wolf singled fair as Justin Masterson threw out Johnson at first base. Balentien, who had taken second, started walking back to first because he also thought the ball was foul. First baseman Jeff Bailey alertly threw to Green, who ended the inning by tagging out Balentien before he could get back to second. Drew hit a 2-0 pitch just under the second deck far beyond right field to tie the game in the fourth. Drew's sixth homer was so deep that Vargas didn't even bother to watch it. Vargas allowed eight hits and one earned run in 5 1-3 innings. Seattle had taken a 2-1 lead in the second on Russell Branyan's ninth homer of the season leading off, then a double by Yuniesky Betancourt and triple by Cedeno. Those were the only runs off Masterson. The first Jamaican-born pitcher in major league history allowed nine hits and struck out six in 6 1-3 innings. It was the fourth time in his six starts this season he allowed two runs or fewer. Boston is 3-1 in those games. Notes:@ Ellsbury extended his hitting streak to 13 games, the AL's longest active streak. ... Johnson left the game after the weird bunt play with bruised index and middle fingers on his right hand. X-rays were negative. Kenji Johjima replaced him.

SEATTLE – Now Ken Griffey Jr. truly is back. And so is Ichiro Suzuki. Griffey hit career home run No. 613 and his 400th as a Mariner on Wednesday night in his second home game of his return season in Seattle, the surprising Mariners' 11-3 victory over the Los Angeles Angels. Suzuki had two hits in his season debut following his first career stint on the disabled list, including his first grand slam in six years during a seven-run seventh inning, to tie Isao Harimoto's Japanese record with hit No. 3,085. Griffey's fifth-inning homer off starter Jered Weaver, his first as a Mariner in Seattle in 10 years, broke a 2-2 tie. Then Suzuki, who was out due to a bleeding ulcer, golfed a full-count pitch from Jason Bulger into the right-field bleachers. The eight-time All-Star and Gold Glove outfielder trying the record is a big deal in Japan, so big a television network there flew Harimoto to Seattle so he could see it happen. Jarrod Washburn allowed two runs in six steady innings against his former team for yet another strong start by a supposedly failed starter, as a team remade since losing 101 games in 2008 won its sixth straight. Seattle (7-2) is off to its best start since 2001, its last playoff season. Griffey, baseball's 39-year-old active home run leader returning triumphantly to the team that spawned his superstardom as a teen in 1989, turned sharply on a 2-1 fastball from Weaver in the fifth inning for his second home run of the year. Griffey gave his vintage, no-doubt reaction to the solo shot: a dropped bat at his feet and long stare. He watched the ball land three rows into the bleachers beyond right-center field to give Seattle a 3-2 lead, three pitches after Endy Chavez had tied the game with a solo home run. Weaver (1-1) allowed 10 hits and four runs in five-plus innings. He walked two and struck out two. Giddy fans scrambled for the souvenir ball from Griffey's home run. The crowd of about 18,516 at Safeco Field — dubbed the house that Junior built after Griffey's MVP heroics in the mid-1990s largely saved baseball in Seattle — roared as he rounded the bases. The fans kept roaring, prompting Griffey's first curtain call since returning. He emerged from the dugout to tip his batting helmet to the fans, many of whom were wearing his No. 24 jersey in either blue or white. Back inside the dugout, his teammates mobbed him. Griffey's previous home run as a Mariner in Seattle came on Sept. 22, 1999, off Kansas City's Jay Witasick in what was his 48th and final home run of that season. A few months later, the Mariners granted his wish and traded him to Cincinnati. Griffey also singled in the eighth off Kevin Jepsen, before Suzuki tied Harimoto's record. Torii Hunter hit a two-run homer in the fifth off Washburn (2-0), who allowed four hits and two runs in six innings against his former team. Hunter's homer gave Los Angeles a brief 2-1 lead in the fifth. It was Hunter's third home run in six at-bats. Then came the heroics from Seattle's twin superstars. Griffey was one of 12 major leaguers to wear specially designed, Dodger-blue-and-silver cleats Wednesday that featured an engraving of Robinson sliding into home plate. Robinson's uniform No. 42 was stitched on each heel. Hunter was also wearing the shoes. Griffey was believed to be the first major leaguer to wear 42 to honor Robinson in a game, 12 years ago with the Mariners. He just went up to the Mariners' equipment man weeks before the game and said he wanted to do it — he didn't think to ask for the league's permission because no one had done it. The league granted permission for others to honor Robinson after that. "I knew the family. It was just my way of saying thank you. I had no idea it would become something like this," Griffey said before the game of all players wearing 42 on Jackie Robinson Day in the majors. "There's a lot of people who wouldn't be here (in the majors) if it wasn't for him." 
Note:@ RHP Rafael Rodriguez, selected from Triple-A Salt Lake late Tuesday, allowed one hit in one inning in his major league debut.

我認為只要是不違背會大眾的理想, 都不應該輕言放棄
賽車手也好, 漫畫家也好, 食神也罷
別人可以做到的事, 任何人當然有機會能夠做到
為什麼多數人明明不曾努力努力就輕言放棄了理想
事後又說 "我沒這個天分" "找份好的工作比較重要"

M's end miserable season with 4-3 win over A's

SEATTLE -- Jose Lopez lined a single past diving third baseman Mike Lowell to score Wladimir Balentien with the game-winning run and the Seattle Mariners beat the Boston Red Sox 4-3 on Tuesday night to end a season-high seven-game losing streak. The Mariners overcame Manny Ramirez's 499th career home run. The ninth inning began with a one-hopper by Balentien that went off the backhanded glove of Alex Cora for an infield single to deep shortstop. Miguel Cairo then sacrificed Balentien to second. Pinch-hitter Jeremy Reed sent Balentien to third base with a ground out and Mike Timlin intentionally walked Ichiro Suzuki before Lopez lined a 1-2 pitch -- and then got mobbed near second base by teammates who hadn't had something to celebrate for most of a dreadful May. J.J. Putz (2-2) pitched a scoreless top of the ninth for the Mariners, who won for just the sixth time in 26 games. Timlin (2-3), a former Mariner, is now 0-6 in 15 appearances at Safeco Field. Ramirez hit a three-run drive that tied the game at 3 in the sixth off starter Miguel Batista. Ramirez quickly dropped his bat and stood spitting and admiring the opposite-field drive. He then pointed the index finger of his right hand toward to blue twilight sky as the ball sailed six rows into the right-field bleachers. About half of the crowd of 30,758 roared as if Safeco Field was Fenway Park. The inning began with shortstop Yuniesky Betancourt dropped a routine ground ball by Dustin Pedroia. David Ortiz then singled off Batista, who allowed three runs and five hits in seven-plus innings. He struck out two and walked three. Daisuke Matsuzaka was in the clubhouse when Ramirez hit his home run. The right-hander left the game before the bottom of the fifth, ending his first chance to join Josh Beckett as the second Boston pitcher since 1971 to begin a season 9-0. The 11th Red Sox pitcher to win his first eight decisions in a season allowed three runs -- two on fielder's choice ground outs and a third on a double in the first inning by Raul Ibanez -- on four hits through four innings. Then, after two seemingly routine warm-up pitches before the bottom of the fifth, he appeared to briefly grab his lower back. Manager Terry Francona, an interpreter and a trainer came out to the mound. A moment later, Francona summoned David Aardsma from the bullpen. Francona and shortstop Julio Lugo were ejected moments later, each for the first time this season. Lugo apparently shouted something at third-base umpire Angel Hernandez because Hernandez ruled in favor of Seattle's Raul Ibanez on an appeal of a check swing. Francona came out to separate his player from the smirking, gum-chomping umpire - then got tossed, too, while pointing an index finger at Hernandez. Suzuki had two hits and his 22nd stolen base off Matsuzaka -- double Suzuki's hit production against his countryman last season. Suzuki went 1-for-12 against Matsuzaka in four games in 2007. He went 8-for-34 (.235) in 1999 and 2000, when Matsuzaka was a teenager with Seibu and Suzuki was with Orix in Japan's Pacific League. Kevin Youkilis, one of five Red Sox players leading early voting for the All-Star game, missed a second consecutive start with a sore right hand. He said X-rays Monday showed "nothing." Sean Casey started for him and had three singles.

The Seattle Mariners will try to win consecutive games for the first time in almost a month when they host the San Diego Padres in the finale of a three-game interleague set at Safeco Field.

Seattle is 17-27 on the season and hasn't posted two straight wins since April 20-22. Those victories came in a finale with the Angels and an opener with the Orioles, meaning the Mariners haven't won a series since sweeping a two-game set with Oakland on April 16-17.

The Mariners seemed poised to break that skid, as they have won four of their last five against the Padres and have won 10 of their last 14 against them.

In Saturday's test, Adrian Beltre's two-run homer broke a tie in the seventh inning, as Seattle used a solid Erik Bedard start to slip past San Diego, 4-2.

Bedard (3-2), who didn't last past the second inning in his previous start, fanned 10 while allowing just two runs and five hits in his eight innings on the mound. J.J. Putz put the tying run on base in the ninth inning, but managed to record his fourth save of the season.
