The Bruins won in double overtime last night. Dice-K pitched another gem for the Red Sox last night.

I listened to the whole Bruins game and then switched over to the Sox for the last few innings. If I seem sleepy today, that’s why.

We are going to my sister’s today. There should be a niece and three nephews to play with. It’s going to be great. The only downer being that my step kids won’t be with us. They left for a week long cruise to the caribbean this morning. I miss them already.

If Easter is something you celebrate, then Happy Easter! If not, then have a great Sunday!

Halfway into the second period tonight Jen and I went to bed. She sparked up her Kindle while I turned on the radio.com app to listen to the game while reading the last story in Stephen King’s, “Full Dark, No Stars.”

When the game went to overtime I stopped reading and went to twitter on my phone.

My battery is down to 33%. I’ve used my home defribulator about seven times. That thing totally paid for itself tonight.

Overtime hockey (pause for heart attack #8 as Krejci breaks in but doesn’t score) during the playoffs is just way to stressful.

Overtime #1 comes to an end. Being a fan is hard work.

The Red Sox have won three in a row again. They are still last in the American League East, but a win tonight, along with losses for Baltimore and Tampa Bay will vault us from sixth place to third!

The World Series and eternal glory can’t be too far behind that, right Boston Herald? Greatest Red Sox Team Ever, right Boston Herald?

We are clawing our way toward respectability. Let’s hope the disastrous start keeps the yahooism in check.

Go Red Sox!

Hockey: Game five of the Bruins Vs Canadiens series tonight.

Go Bruins!

The NHL fined Andrew Ference $2500.00 today for his obscene gesture toward a camera in Montreal last night. (see my previous post for the shocking visual) Andrew said he didn’t do it. He was pumping his fist and his glove got messed up and the finger on the glove stuck up. I 100% believe his equipment malfunction story. Yes. 100%. No sarcasm at all. He’s telling the truth.

Boston.barstoolsports.com is looking to help. Read this link.

Here is the Free Andrew Ference t-shirt. All proceeds go to paying his fine, and once that’s paid off then all proceeds go to the charity of his choice. Who ever said hockey fans were a bunch of violence loving gorillas?

Honestly, I could not love this more.

{gasp!} ANDREW!

I didn’t watch any of the Bruins or Red Sox games last night. I did catch the last couple of innings of my step daughter’s softball game. Two of her teammates hit home runs. I saw one. The one I missed was a grand slam. Her team won 9-3. It sort of got the ball rolling.

I guess Michael Ryder got tired of people like me referring to him as dead weight.

The Bruins won in overtime to tie the series at two games a piece. Now it’s a three game series with two games in Boston. You’d think that would be a good thing, but the road team has won every game so far. I still have zero confidence in my team. That doesn’t mean I’m giving up, it just means I am preparing myself for the worst possible outcome.

The Red Sox won in 11 innings last night. They have improved their record to a still pathetic 7-11. They are still last in the Eastern Division (four games behind the Yankees) but now there are four teams in the majors with worse records! Things are definitely on the up swing.

All three of the teams I was rooting for won last night. Pretty surprising.

Go Bruins
Go Red Sox

Get me home!

Get me home!!

Sox lost last night. I missed it. I had it on the radio and made it to the first pitch. That was it. Done. Stupid West coast games.

I haven’t read any recaps, but it sounds like Lackey had a good game. That’s good news.

Why aren’t the Bruins playing game four tonight? What’s with this two days off crap? Sometimes I hate the NHL scheduling.

I don’t feel terribly well. I can’t put my finger on it. I wonder if I’m just bordering on exhausted. I shouldn’t be. I’ve been getting decent sleep. I just feel wrong. A little sinus stuffy, a little scratchy sore throat, a little coughing, but just wrong. I had a screaming headache yesterday evening but that was probably related to reading without my glasses. I just want to go to sleep.

Blah.

Urgh.

Blah.

Maybe I should complain more often? (is it even possible for some one who complains constantly to complain more often?)

The Bruins and the Red Sox both pulled off wins yesterday. Matsuzaka was awesome, pitching seven shut out, one hit innings. Jed Lowrie’s batting average is over .500! FIVE HUNDRED! Three wins in a row. Now they fly out west to face Oakland, and Lackie pitches tonight. (so there goes the win streak)

The Bruins did what seems like the only thing you need to do to win a playoff game these days: They scored the first goal. The wonders ne’er cease. The team, smartly, is not hanging around Montreal between games three and four. They are hiding out in Lake Placid, NY in an attempt to protect Zdeno Chara from the ire of Canadiens fans who want to see him jailed.

I still have zero confidence in both teams. I just need to say that publicly. The Bruins going out in five games is only marginally better than going out in four, and if this is the best Red Sox team in history then I am a monkey’s uncle. Still, enjoy it while you can.

Last weekend, the Mrs and I spent a few days in Manhattan. Here are a few pictures.

We’ve been past St Patrick’s Cathedral a few times, but this was the first time I had ever gone inside.

This trip marked my first ever visit to Greenwich Village, here are a few of Washington Square Park.

Lots of buskers in the park.

Mobile piano. Clever.

The guy is playing a trumpet and a fluglehorn at the same time.

Here are a few random Village pictures.

Pub crawl, underway.

Just random shots of random bars.

This is where we had lunch. In honor of my sister and her husband (who got engaged on the Ponte Vecchio in Italy).

This for my Dad. A Chess store!

Make that two chess stores!

Cafe Wha? Is that Jimi Hendrix I hear?

Although I believe the Cafe Wha Jimi was playing when he was discovered by Chas Chandler was actually in the space now occupied by Players Theater.

A few random street scenes.

We’ll come back to Trump Tower in a minute.

Our first visit to the Manhattan Apple Store!

Now a few pictures from inside Trump Tower. I was not impressed.

What garden?

Again, what garden?

We took a tour of Radio City Music Hall. It was a lot of fun, and very interesting.

Charlie Sheen was “playing” Radio City later that night.

The most exclusive room in the city. The told us not to touch anything or sit on the furniture.

And now for the best pictures, by far! Pictures of Jen!

Tiffany’s was closed.

And there you have it. A quick synopsis of yet another wonderful weekend spent wandering around with my beautiful wife. I love you, Jen.
