To quote Charlie Sheen, "Winning!"

Last night, the Bruins managed to win a home game and are now up 3-2 in the best-of-seven series against the Blue Jackets. They still sucked on the power play but they did manage to score 4 goals to the Blue Jackets 3, which, as we all know, is enough to win.

On top of that, the Red Sox beat the crap out of the White Sox 15-2. Most of which they scored in the third inning.

It was a real pleasure watching both those games and to make it even better, I got to do it again this afternoon.

It was a pretty evenly matched game for most of it with the Red Sox and the White Sox going into the eighth inning tied 2-2.

The first batter up was Martinez and he managed hit a really long flyball for the first out.

Second batter up was Devers and he hit into a Ringling Bros kind of triple. He hit the ball over the left fielders head and started to make the turn to second but changed his mind when the throw came in. As he was scrambling back to first, the cutoff guy made a crappy throw to first and Devers turned around to scramble to second. The first baseman chased down the errant throw, picked it up and threw it over the second baseman's head. Devers immediately scrambled off to third.

The third batter up was Chavis and he drew a walk. Runners on first and third.

Fourth batter up was Moreland and he smacked a nice fast single through the infield. Devers scored and Chavis made it to third. Runners on first and third, score was 3-2.

Fifth up was Pearce and he struck out. Runners at first and third, two out, score  3-2.

Sixth batter up was Bradley Jr. and drew a walk. Bases loaded, two out, score 3-2.

Seventh batter up was Sparky Nunez and he hit a crappy little slow roller that hugged the third base line. The third baseman took his chances and prayed that it would roll foul. Turns out he chose poorly because it stayed fair. Chavis scored and everyone else was safe. Bases still loaded, two out, score 4-2.

Eighth batter up was Benintendi and he walked, bringing in Moreland. Bases loaded, two out, score 5-2.

Ninth batter was Bogaerts and he freakin' hit a freakin' grand freakin' slam babeeeeee! Bases empty, two outs, score 9-2.

Tenth batter up was Martinez, again, and he struck out. That ended the top half of the eighth inning. The White Sox failed to answer back in the bottom of the eighth and it was still 9-2 going into the ninth.

Neither team did much of anything in the ninth so the game ended with the Red Sox winning 9-2.

Winning!

Now they head to Baltimore where tomorrow they will start a three game series against the Orioles.

Wow. I got a little wordy there. Sorry about that.

Here are some links:

• All that work for about $50 in quarters. Morons.



• If this happened when I was in high school, you can bet no one would have said a word to anybody about it.



• Oh Canada.



• If you have ever borrowed any tools from Robb Alexander Stout, he would like you to return them.



• Two planes in a week. I think maybe there is something a little weird about the St. Johns River.
