They lost last night

But they won this afternoon...

Last night, the Red Sox just couldn't overcome and they lost 3-2. Grey took the loss but I thought he pitched pretty good. It was the hitters that just couldn't turn their hit's into runs.

As for today, the hitters remembered that they need to step on home plate to win and they beat the Royals 5-1.

They need the wins.

Doesn't seem like 25 years

I was working at an office, my wife was working at a college. I was standing in a room with a few hundred of my fellow co-workers watching a TV set showing live images of the World Trade Center in New York City. One tower was on fire after being hit by a plane and, while we watched, a second plane hit the second tower.

That was when it became clear to all of us that this was no tragic accident.

I tried to call my wife but she was teaching a class and had her phone off. I left her a message and when she called me back, I told her what was happening and she should to go to the nearest ATM, withdraw as much money as the machine would allow and go home. I told her to be ready to pick up the kids from school.

We had no idea what we were seeing or who was attacking us but I wanted to be sure we could be together as a family and have cash available in case the banking system had a problem.

Within a day we had an understanding of who attacked us and our government seemed to be functioning in a sane manner. People were not only frightened, they were pissed off and we all wanted to kick someones ass.

Things haven't been the same since then but they are what they are. We seem to have accepted that the world is no longer the trusting place it once was. We also seem to have accepted that we may never get back to that world.

Like all of you, I'm just making way through this world, trying to be nice to people and trying to understand when things change.

Hell, I'm just glad I no longer have to take my shoes off to get on a plane...

Last night we went to dinner with our neighbors and it took way longer than usual.

Don't get me wrong, it was an enjoyable evening but the restaurant seemed out of sorts. Like it wasn't running at it's normal clip and as a result, things seemed to take a lot longer than they usually did.

Today was lunch with the boys and once again, we have solved all of the worlds problems.

We should run for office or something.

The Red Sox start a 3-game series against the Royals this evening. First pitch is at 7:10 and Grey has the starts.

They lost their series against the Angels, which is something that should not have happened, and as a result, they are once again 4½ games behind the Judges and 7½ games behind the Rays.

We have reached the point in the season where MLB has added the elimination column to the standings. This represents the number of games they would have to lose to be eliminated from the playoffs.

With 15 games left in the season, I really hope the Red Sox don't lose 8 of them...

No post today

Too busy for internetting.

Oh, and not only did the Red Sox lose last night, the Patriots also lost.

Not a good night for my sporting entertainment...

A loss.

The Red Sox did not play well last night and they got their ass handed to them by the Angels.

Sandoval did not have a great outing and while the batters were hitting the ball, they failed to step on home plate.

In the end, the Angles beat them 6-1.

Bennett has the start and first pitch was at 6:45. Rain is in the area but hopefully the game will be completed tonight.

In other sporting news, the Patriots are in Seattle to play their first game of the season.

Kickoff is at 8:20 which means I'm going to struggle to watch all of the game.

I took three 5-gallon buckets of acorns out of my backyard this morning. This is on top of the three or four we took out of there yesterday.

Whenever there is a slight breeze, it sounds like it's raining really hard only it's not rain, it's acorns.

Maybe I should just leave them and let them grow into oak trees. Then I won't have to mow back there anymore.

I checked the gas prices in my area and they aren't good...

There are a lot of acorns

If you are one of those people that thinks an overabundance of acorns indicates a snowy, cold winter than you should start panicking.

I don't personally put any stock in a tree's ability to predict the weather but, then again, I don't put any stock in a human beings ability to predict the weather either...

But that's neither here nor there.

What I really want to say is, "Man, we got a shitload of acorns falling out of the damned oak trees".

Yesterday's Red Sox game was an interesting game because Bello was the starter.

Based on his performances this season, I initially said to myself, "Well, this is stupid. They're gonna lose."

Well, they didn't lose and I'm going to admit that he pitched a pretty damned good game. It was almost like the Bello of 2025.

Tonight's Red Sox game starts at 6:45 and Sandoval has the start.
