Yes, there is baseball this evening

The Orioles and the Red Sox will play this evening. First pitch is at 6:45 and Early has the start.

This is, in my opinion, an important series for the Red Sox. If they can win this series, they will possibly move past the Orioles in the ALEast standings.

• These people are all a little odd.

No baseball today

Thankfully I still have plenty of Gold Rush DVRs to watch.

15 years ago, we got tornado'd.

We also took our oldest child for his first of many chemotherapy treatments.

All-in-all, it was a pretty shitty time in our lives but we came out of it intact.

A couple of wins

The Red Sox beat the Guardians last night, winning the game 9-1.

Gray had a good outing, facing 24 hitters over 6 innings, giving up 1 run, walking 3 and striking out 7.

As for today, the game started at 1:30 and Suarez had the start.

He faced 25 batters ove 5 innings, giving up 4 runs, walking 2 and striking out 10.

The Red Sox won that game 9-4 and the won the series.

They are off tomorrow while they head back home to Boston where on Tuesday they will start a 3-game series against the Orioles.

At 12:30 this morning, when most normal human beings are either sound asleep, drunk at bar or working the midnight shift, Dementia Donny was on his computer telling us that he got a "30 out of 30" on a "high difficulty cognitive test":

As I've said before, he is referring to the Montreal Cognitive Assessment

This is a tool used to determine if the person taking it is experiencing mental decline or memory issues. My doctor gives me this assessment every year at the start of my annual physical because, well, I'm old.

Trust me people, it isn't that hard. A score of 30 does not indicate I am an extremely intelligent person, it indicates I understand the alphabet, I know what a horse looks like and I can tell you the day/date and the approximate time.

Actually, I might not be able to tell you the day or the date. Those are things people who need to be places need to know. I'm retired and for the most part, I have no need to be places. I do, however, know how to use my phones appointment calendar so when someone says, "Hey, let's go to lunch on Thursday!" I put it in my calendar and my phone reminds me when I need to leave.

Anyways, saying that completing the assessment means you are "extremely intelligent" is like saying that falling out of a tree means you know how to fly.

Very Stable Genius indeed...

Another loss

They lost 4-3 last night and they are tied 1-1 in the 5^th inning this afternoon.

It's getting harder and harder to watch.

Time for an old man rant...

When I was a little kid, we would walk to Norman's Pharmacy on Island Pond Rd. and for 15 or 20 cents, we would buy a Guillows "JetFire" Glider. If we were flush with cash, we would spend 50 cents and buy the rubber-band powered "SkyStreak".

I discovered today that Guillows is still in business.

I discovered today that Guillows charges $5.00 for the JetFire and $7.00 for the SkyStreak.

Are you shitting me!! These are cheap balsa wood airplanes with a lifespan of about 15 or 20 minutes.

They got their ass kicked

The Red Sox and Braves were tied 2-2 after 5 innings when the manager decided to put a guy named Coulombe in to pitch the 6^th. He proceeded to load the bases so the manager decided to take him out and put Weissert in.

I don't want to say Weisert had a bad outing but a media guy I don't normally like made me laugh when he said the following about Weissert:

So anyways, the Braves won 10-2.

The Red Sox are in Cleveland to take on the Guardians. First pitch is at 7:10 and Samaniego is the opener for Bello.

This is probably not going to go well.

So much for my medium hope...
