Something 4 The Weekend
Friday at work, all I could think of was crawling into bed the second I walked in the door of my apartment. I went out every night last week(!!!) except for the night the BoSox sent the Evil Empire crumbling into infamy. Friday seemed to be a good bet for an early night since my company had our annual meetings and we knocked off from work at 1 PM for the occasion. They shuttled us over to Atlantic TV Studios (where they tape PTI!) since we were simulcasting the event to all the satellite offices around the nation.
After the presentation, we went down the street to a nearby hotel for our company reception (read:free booze). Next thing I know, it’s almost midnight and I’m racking up a hefty tab at a downtown bar. So much for a quiet night in.
Saturday I went and caught Dig! with Weirdcurves before we adjourned to the nearest pub for Game One. Dig! was entertaining and worth seeing but not sure what else I can write about it that hasn’t already been said. However, I found it hilarious when the tambourine guy from the BJM was all pissed off when they finally broke up and he said "I've wasted the last four years of my life!" Dude, you play TAMBOURINE and that's it. I'm sure you got your money's worth. But I digress...
I’d rather talk about Game One. Anytime we can get the W and still commit 4(!!!) errors, we’ll take it. An amazing thing I read was the Cards pitcher Woody Williams had thrown over 70 pitches in just over three innings, yet Sox batters only swung and missed at pitches TWICE. Jebus!
Game Two was more of the same. Curt Shilling just wills this team to victory. Oh, and 4 more errors. But how about my man Marky Doodles!
Pedro goes tomorrow night in the warm St. Louey air. Having Senor Octobre at first should be an adventure.
This is for anyone that has ever wondered, What Would Johnny Damon Do?
The C’s are looking good at times during the preseason but the D has been suspect, hence the 5 game losing streak. I’m planning on ponying up for the NBA season package tonight so I can catch Gang Green v. the Land of Cleve.
I am slacking on my Ted Leo pics, I know (hint: they are not that good) but hope to get them up later tonight.
I picked up a ton of new music this weekend (see the list on the right).
More soon...
