Bilfs

Ed. note: Well, the friend who told me Wilson would be pitching tomorrow just told me Wilson's actually pitching TONIGHT.  Dammit, dammit, dammit!!! 
  
Tomorrow I'll be going to my first baseball game of the season--Yankees vs. Rangers.  I may be one very unpopular girl at Yankee Stadium because I'll be cheering for the Rangers.  I'll be cheering for them for the following reasons:
 
1. Fantasy baseball.  I have Josh Hamilton on one of my fantasy teams, and I want to see him do well!  Let's go, BILFs!
 
2. The Rangers are not the Yankees.  While I don't mind the Yankees, I'm not usually going to jump at the chance to root for them.  They beat my Phillies in the World Series last year.  They beat my Twins last year in the ALDS.  And then last night they beat the Angels when I had Kazmir pitching for me on a fantasy team, and I get annoyed when something happens where my pitcher doesn't get me a win.  I know the Yankees are a good team, so I respect them, but again--that's not gonna make me be excited to root for them.  (Besides, everybody else is rooting for them.  My opinion?  Viva la underdog!)
 
3. The Rangers are cuter.  I can't believe I'm even saying this, because liberal me doesn't generally like anything that comes outta Texas, but they've got Hamilton, Kinsler, Harden, and Wilson.  That's a whole lotta gorgeous right there.  And I like to cheer for gorgeous.
 
Tomorrow's pitching matchup is Burnett vs. Wilson.  If I had to pick a favorite Yankee, Burnett would be it.  He seems kinda edgy and seems to bring a fun attitude to the clubhouse.  (Plus I like his tattoos.)  And Wilson...well, he's probably my favorite Ranger.  He's a Lostie just like I am (in fact, I even tweeted with him once about Lost...and yeah, I was appropriately giddy about it--still kinda am, in fact!), and I always love fellow Losties.  Also, I'm totally jealous that he got to hang out with Team Darlton.  He has a really cool (and very typically un-Texas) personality.  And?  He's gorgeous.  Like seriously, seriously gorgeous.
 
So tomorrow, if you're at the game and you hear somebody screaming "LET'S GO, RANGERS!" or "JOSH HAMILTON, DO IT FOR THE BILFS!!!", come say hi.  Just don't be surprised when I've got a hoarse voice from all that yelling.  ;)

No, I don't want the Cubs' shirts, despite the fact that Theriot and Hoffpaiur are total BILFs.  I'm gonna want the Phillies and Twins gear, which I'm hearing is coming out soonsoonsoon (but not soon enough, dammit!).

I've been reading up on the new Victoria's Secret/MLB clothing, and I swear I'm the only girl I know (with the possible exception of my friend Lisa, and she might only be excited about it when she can find Orioles gear in her local Vicky's) who's seriously stoked about this.  A lot of people I know or whose blogs I read aren't down with this clothing, for various reasons--they're not into the overly girly/sparkly/hearts thing, they're not sure the clothes will fit them nicely, they're not sure the clothes appropriately reflect the spirit of baseball, etc.  And those are all totally valid reasons to not be down with these clothes.

But for a girl like me?  A girl who lives for glitter?  Who goes to the ballpark in 5" red stilettos?  A girl who is sick of having to buy youth Medium shirts (not women's, which are often too big, but YOUTH) so that they are form-fitting and don't hang off her?  A girl who would totally not be embarrassed to wear a shirt that says "love love love Phillies" because, well, she DOES love, love, love her Phillies?  For a girl like me, this is gonna freakin' rock.  Finally!  GIRLY CLOTHING!  Stuff that will make me look cute(r)!  Stuff that might actually make my boobs look good instead of flattening them out (yeah, the youth M shirts fit me, but they're really not built for people with boobs--they're built for, like, 13-year-old boys).

I'm not gonna be embarrassed to wear this stuff.  Sure, some of it has a little bit of an airheady vibe, but you know what?  Just as much as I know who's hot on which teams, I know the stats of the players who matter.  I know I'm gonna kick ass and take names in fantasy baseball this year (um, hopefully...hehe!).  And I know that whether or not I'm wearing a shirt that says "I only kiss Phillies fans" (a great rule to live by, actually) that admittedly looks slightly airheady, I can talk baseball with the best of 'em.  And soon I'm gonna look even cuter while doing so.

In other BILF-related news:

* My parents are in Clearwater right now watching Hamels pitch.  Totally jealous?  You bet your ass I am!

* Looks like the hottest Texas Rangers need a nurse.  Hamilton and Kinsler are injured...poor babies!  I'd gladly take care of them...

* My favorite non-Phillies, non-Twins BILF, Cliff Lee, seems to have gotten a little aggressive against the Diamondbacks yesterdayBehave, gorgeous!
