A loss in OT

When I went to bed last night, the Bruins and Flames were in the second intermission and the Flames were up 2-1.

When I woke up this monring, I found that the Bruins had tied the game in the third period only to lose it in OT.

They sure seem to have a lot of tie games that go into overtime this season...

Anyways, they are off tonight and back at it again tomorrow when they take on the Canucks. This is a west coast game (Vancouver) but amazingly enough, the puck drops at 7:00 my time. That means I'll be able to watch the entire game.

When I posted yesterdays treatise, the folks at NASA and Intuitive Machines were in the midst of searching for their moon lander and at some point, someone mentioned they saw data that indicated the lander had tipped on it's side. That was when I posted that it looked the lander had flown into the moon.

Turns out I was wrong.

It now looks like the lander was in full-blown autonomous mode and it was making decisions about a landing site. It looks like it successfully landed on the lunar south pole.

What has not yet happened is the people in charge have not released any images or data from the lander. I suspect that is because they are planing on holding a giant "Look what we did!" news conference at some point in the near future.

Or maybe the thing did slam into the moon and they are lying to us. How the hell would we know

The MLB has a new uniform supplier and so far, the new uniforms are not really popular with the players.

And some fans have been posting comments about them like, "Can't wait to see some overweight, 60-year old coach in his new uniform during a rain shower or sweating like hell in 100° heat"

This season is looking weirder and weirder...

Speaking of baseball, the Red Sox and the Northeastern Huskies played their traditional spring training exhibition game this afternoon and the Red Sox managed to once again beat the Huskies.

I did not recognize any of the Red Sox players because no one on the 26-man roster played today. The team consisted entirely of AA and AAA players who had been invited to spring training. As a matter of fact, some of the players did not have their names on the back of their jerseys

Basically, I watched a college baseball game.

Anyways, the game ended after seven innings and the final score was 7-2 in favor of the Red Sox. I gotta tell ya, I thoroughly enjoyed watching the game.

Tomorrow they will head up to Sarasota to play their first official spring training game against the Orioles. First pitch is at 1:05pm and it looks like NESN will carry the game.

Baseball is back!

Baseball has been watched, housecleaning has been done and errands have been run. Dinner for this evening is calzones.

  Kinda funny that he regrets it now that he knows he might go to jail for it.
