Huston Street Is Engaged...

Sorry ladies, Oakland Athletics’ Closer Huston Street did in fact recently propose to his lady. On New Year's Eve, he proposed to his girlfriend of 2 1/2 years, Lacey Larsen, while surrounded by roses.

Huston and Lacey met in the summer of 2004. Roses seem to have always been big for them, as for their 1st year anniversary he brought her 365 roses gave them to her saying "One rose for every day you've made my life better."

He proposed to her in his new condo in Texas, making an effort to show her that he felt it was “their” place. Since he likes to do things in his ‘big’ fashion, he took Lacey to dinner where they had two $400 bottles of Gaja Barbaresco. (Huston’s quite the wine aficionado!) Then they took a romantic horse draw carriage ride while he had his buddy Curtis Thigpen, a friend who catches in the BJ’s organization, set up the condo with 1,500 red roses. He proposed with a well rehearsed speech that would make any girl’s heart melt & of course she accepted.
He eagerly brags about Lacey’s vital stats. It took her three years to get a marketing degree from TCU where she maintained a 4.0 grade-point average in her major, and a 3.8 or 3.9, overall. He says "She's a genius, which is really, really annoying, because I lose every argument."

Oh & just for fun, here’s 1,500 roses… just to give you an idea of what she was up against when they arrived home that night!

Must people take me so literally?

So Miss Mish Mash informed me that that DorkBloggers are looking for a few good 'Dork Moments' for Friday the Dorkteenth... I just happened to have had one just lastnight:

So, my girlfriends & I have this fun lil habit of referring to our favorites ballplayers as our 'fiancĂ©’s', because, well, we honestly fully intend to marry these sexy super studs someday 'if only'... You know, if only we ever actually met because of course the moment our eyes lock they'll realize there's no other women in the world for them right? My friend Katie is 'engaged' to Huston Street; my roommie Mandy is apparently 'married' to Mr. Timberlake; my roommate Alyssa is 'engaged' to Rich Harden; & I, of course, am 'engaged' to Zito (although I am having quite the imaginary affairs Nick Swisher & Travis Buck!)

Anyway, enough with the background, I'm sure you get it... So lastnight at the bar that I frequent (not exactly often, but enough so the regulars do know me), this one guy that sees me there all the time comes up to me while I was watching the Giant's game. What transpired next I so had coming. My favorite bartendress thought this was pure magic...

Him: "Shouldn't you be at the game?"

Me: "Duh, but I just got off work & besides, my fiancĂ©’s not pitching tonight."

Him: "So it's true, you really are engaged to Zito?"

Me: (choke) "Well, uh, er, um, technically? Oh boy."


Oopsies! I got so embarrassed that I turned red... Now I'm forever known as the
