They almost blew the game last night

With stellar performances from Kluber & Winckowski and some serious hitting from the hitters, the Red Sox went into the ninth inning with a 8-1 lead. They didn't score any runs in the top of the ninth and in the bottom of the ninth, Kaleb Ort came in to pitch.

He proceeded to give up a home run to the first batter he faced, making the score 8-2.

Then he proceeded to induce a fly ball out.

Then he proceeded to give up two singles. The next batter hit into a fielding error that resulted in loaded bases.

Then he proceeded to give up a grand slam, making the score 8-6. And there was still only one out.

At this point, I was having a small brain malfunction while screaming at Cora to get Ort the hell away from the ball.

Fortunately Cora heard me and pulled Ort out of the game. Kenley Jansen came in and proceeded to get two outs, mercifully ending the game before I had some kind of seizure.

Thankfully the Red Sox held on and won that game because if they lost, it's very possible that some fanatic from Boston would go after Kaleb Ort with malice aforethought...


As for this afternoon, first pitch was at 1:10 and Houck had an interesting outing. Not bad but not good.

He went five innings and gave up four runs, three of which were earned. Like I said, not bad but not good.

In the end, the Red Sox lost the game 6-2, losing the series.

They are off tomorrow. On Friday, the Guardians come in to Boston for a three-game series to end the month of April.


Game five of the Bruins/Panthers series is tonight with the Bruins up three games to one.

It looks like Bergeron may be back on the ice tonight. They say a decision will be made at game time.

Getting him back on the ice would be a good thing for the Bruins. It's not like they suck without him but he is certainly a key player on the team and they play better with him.

So I'm hoping tonight is the final game of this series and the Bruins get some time off before they have to start the second round.

Speaking of round two, it's beginning to look more and more like the second round will be the Bruins against the Maple Leafs.


Yep, the market is still overjoyed about Goofy Joe running for reelection...


The Professor got home from work early enough to make her world famous chicken & broccolli pastry. It is, in my opinion, pretty damned good eats.

While I enjoy that as well as tonight's hockey game, you can enjoy these:
