Thanks!

Thanks to A.J. for signing an autograph for me. It's that simple gesture that started this insanity. Actually, it's more than that... game 2 ALDS 2002, me & Tina hanging out at the Twins dugout in our A's jerseys so Tina can see Michael Cuddyer. A.J. is by the dugout and I ask him if he'd sign for me when he came back from hitting. He said yeah, and I figured that's the last I'd see of him. Nope, he finished taking his hits, came back, looked around til he found me, and signed an autograph for me. To him it was probably nothing, but to me it really said something for him as a person (besides all that crap about him being the most hated man in baseball - do people really call him that or is that just something that my brother says cause he thinks he's funny?)

Tina - Uh, cause it's like obligatory that we just thank each other on all of our websites. Though I think I do a little more to help you out with yours than you do to help me with mine "Why do you like him? He's a jerk! Hey, can you scan some Michael Cuddyer pictures for me?" Yeah, anyway, thanks for being as dedicated as I am and reassuring me that this is all normal behavior.

Michelle - the coolest 14 year old around. For your camera, your humor, your pouting, your crying, your screaming in my ear... basically for all the fun times this past season!

Alllllissssonnnnn - Yet another one of those obligatory things. I don't think you like the Twins at all. That's fine. You probably shouldn't show this site to Keith, Billlll wouldn't approve of it. Here's to Spring Training and another drive down I-5 in JT next year.

Raquel - For the pictures, the humor, the conversation, the sarcasm and for being the bESTESt with me.

My brother Craig for putting up with his annoying sister and cheering on the A's for win #20 and backing off for loss #1.

Majik - For - well, conversation. (the photos aren't bad, either!)

Carrie - For the pictures, the autograph, and for being an AJ fan.

Mike Sweeney - for the hug

Mark Mulder - in NO way am I making fun of you.

Mark Ellis - for the beer and the bat...
