Late-ish baseball for the next few days

The Red Sox are in Chicago for a three game series against the White Sox. After that they head to Seattle for a three game series against the Mariners.

Tonight's game starts at 8:00, tomorrow is at 7:00 and Sunday is at 2:00. Then they hit Seattle and the first two games are at 10:00. The final game will be at 4:00.

What does all that mean? It means that I probably won't make it through six innings tonight but I should be okay for Saturday & Sunday. Forget Monday & Tuesday because I go to bed at 10:00. Wednesday is good for me. As a matter of fact, Wednesday is perfect because I might just go to Tommy's and watch that game with some friends. That's what all that means.

As for what's been happening, well, lots.

First the good news - the Red Sox are now in second place, 9 games behind the Rays and 1 game ahead of the Yankees.

Now the bad news - Sale tested positive for the 'rona so he is out for at least 10 days. They are going to have to bring up a kid from triple-A to fill in on the rotation and I anticipate that kid won't have the ability that Sale has.

The kinda good news is, so far, it appears none of the players that tested positive have experienced any severe or debilitating symptoms. Also, Bogaerts is back with the team so they got that going for them.

Now they just need to figure out what to do with Iglesias. Maybe he can play second base...

Time for an update on the grandchild:

The grandchild is doing great. He is a seriously happy guy.

And soon, he will have a little sister to watch over....

This has been your update on the grandchild(ren).

Before we had Goofy Joe, we had Goofy Donald.

Remember that time he took a NHC/NOAA hurricane track and drew on it with a sharpie to make it look like he knew what he was talking about when he said Alabama would get hit by the hurricane.

Dinner is done and the dishwasher is cleaning up after us.

I'm gonna watch some Bearing Sea Gold until the game comes on.

While I do that, you can do these:

• Key phrase in this story: Snowfall totals could reach an astounding 3 to 5 feet.



• Attention Alanis Morissette: This is ironic...



• Oh Canada.
  (Yes, I realize that Raccoon and the Penis Candy would be a fantastic name for a 1970s disco group)



• Key phrase in this story: "...excrement-fueled nightmare..."



• Only in Florida.
