Lots of channel flipping

The Bruins and the Red Sox both played at 1:00 this afternoon. They streamed the Bruins on ESPN+ but ABC carried the game as well so I was able to flip back and forth between NESN and ABC.

Have I mentioned that I hate ESPN+?

The Red Sox lost 4-3 to the Twins. Sale was the starter and he pitched a great 3 innings, striking out 5 and giving up zero earned runs.

Tomorrow there will be a couple of split-squad games with half the team traveling to play the Orioles and the other half staying home to play the Yankees. The home game against the Yankees will be on NESN+. First pitch is at 1:00

As for the Bruins, they beat the Red Wings 3-2. They were down 2-0 after the first period but came back to tie the game in the second period. They scored the game winner in the third period and held the Red Wings off until the final horn.

Tomorrow they travel to Detroit to play a second game against the Red Wings. Puck drops at 1:30 and the game will be on NESN so I get to be annoyed by Jack Edwards saying "Juicy Rebound!" over and over again.

One of The Sisters spotted her first robin of the spring today when one of them flew onto our front porch.

She started chittering and twitching like she really wanted to go catch that bird.

Trust me, she is a terrible hunter. I've seen her stare at a mouse running across the basement floor without her so much as thinking about chasing it. Her idea of hunting is picking up the food she drops out of her bowl.

The Dog, however, can catch pretty much anything and she brings them to us like they were presents for us to enjoy. Well, she bring half to us. She usually chows down on half of whatever she caught before she decides to share it with us.

Giant cheeseburgers and some fries will be the dinner of choice this evening. After that I will probably watch some of the World Baseball Classic. The US will be playing the UK at 9:00 this evening and I can't help but wonder if they even know how to play baseball in England. Guess I'll find out at 9:00. Until then, I'll watch the Dominican vs Venezuela (Yes, they both know how to play baseball).
