I have been listening to game three of the ALCS between my heroic Red Sox and the dasterdly Tiggers. Boston has a 1-0 lead in the top of the eighth inning. Verlander and Lackey have been magic today. This is one of the best pitchers duels… EVER.
I’m home now and the game is on the tube. I am stressing like crazy. The Red Sox have to hold on. They have to win this game. They have to hold on for Lackey, who was lifted in the seventh inning.
What a game!
I’ve always wondered about this. Do we have any owls living in the back yard wild kingdom? There are a couple of hawks, some woodpeckers, and some other cool looking birds too. I’ve never seen an owl though. I know they live in this part of Massachusetts, I’ve just never seen one in our woods.
I’m pretty sure I just heard one though.
Whooo whooo whooo.
Awesome.
HipstaKitty was thinking that the Bruins could follow the last second come back heroics of the Patriots and Red Sox from yesterday, but no. Here she sits, bummed out by the Bruins loss.
I want to take a minute to remind everyone of something important.
I don’t watch The Walking Dead when it airs. I have the season pass from iTunes. That means that I generally don’t watch new episodes until the next day. Because of that, I want to ask all of my loyal readers to do me the courtesy of NOT SPOILING IT FOR ME!!!
Pretty please.
Thank you,
The Management
I thought they were gone forever, but now they’re back again!
Ever wonder what the reverse camera on a Honda would look like through the eyes of a Super 8 camera?
Thanks to me you don’t have to wonder any more.
I’m like a public service, you know?
A day after getting no hit into the 9th, the Red Sox were getting no hit into the 6th. How can we ever beat this Detroit team if we can’t even get a single base hit? Not to bitch about the disgustingly late start time again, but I was toast after the 5th inning. I closed my eyes for a second and next thing I knew it was the top of the 8th and the Red Sox were down 5-1. I turned off the radio and went to sleep.
Dumb ass.
David Ortiz hits a grand slam to tie the game in the 8th inning. Jarrod Saltalamacchia drives in Johnny Gomes with a single in the 9th for a walk off win.
Game three is tomorrow at 4:00 Eastern time so I will get to listen to the beginning and watch the end.
Go Red Sox!
My beloved and I went out to dinner tonight. While we were in the car we heard a BBC story on NPR about a guy who wrote a book on the premise that the Romans invented social media. We had some good laughs at the story’s expense.
Then I realized something. If social media is the passing of news among a network of friends and family, what do you call it if you try to pass news but don’t have any friends? Antisocial Media! I have coined a phrase! Then I thought more, what if you make use of social media but no one reads what you share… kinda like this bloggie right here.
Holy Crap! I not only coined the phrase, but with all of my blogging I actually invented the very thing described by the phrase I coined!
I invented Antisocial Media!
Who the hell is Anibal Sanchez? Here I am getting all freaked out over Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander and then the Red Sox go and get one hit by Anibal Sanchez and a smattering of bullpen guys. We’ve been lead to believe that the bullpen is Detroit’s big weakness, and then they go and shut us down in three innings giving up one hit.
Oh Crap!
Of course, I didn’t get to watch most of the game. The 8:00pm start time for a game on the East coast saw to that. Thanks, Fox. Why don’t you go and kiss my ass. I lay down my head after the fourth inning and that’s all she wrote. I missed most of what sounds like a phenomenal pitchers duel for the ages. A 1-0 final. Thanks a pant load, Fox.
Game two is tonight. Maybe I’ll actually be able to stay up late enough to watch half of the game this time. I mean, it’s not like I am a 42 year old lifelong Red Sox fanatic or anything silly like that, right Fox? Why would I want to actually be able to watch a whole American League Championship game? How silly of me to even consider it. I mean, it’s not like it was Saturday and most folks have Saturday off from work, right? I mean, right?
Assholes.
We need some offense for tonight’s 8:00pm game, my Red Sox. Let’s show Scherzer who is boss, just like the last time you faced him.
Well today has had some negatives, I’m not going to lie to you.
I just acknowledged a summons for Jury Duty. I get to spend a day next month doing my civic duty at the Superior Courthouse in Lawrence. Hooray.
Even worse than that, I just watched the most recent episode of The Big Bang Theory which has totally ruined the movie Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Say it ain’t so, Indiana Jones. Say it ain’t so!
