Patriots Day means early baseball

The Red Sox opened their four game series against the Guardians at 11:10 this morning.

Crawford was the starter today and he made it through 5⅔ innings, faced 19 batters, struck out 6 and gave up only 2 hits. When he left the game in the 6th inning, the score was 0-0.

Then the wheels fell off and the Red Sox ended up losing to the Guardians 6-0.

Half the team looked like professional baseball players and the other half looked like the 10 year old rec league team I coached 20 years ago. And none of them looked like they were hitters.

Game two of the series is tomorrow. First pitch is at 7:00 and I really hope they play better than they did today...


The Bruins are Washington DC to take on the Capitals this evening. Puck drops at 7:00.

The playoffs have not yet been decided but like I said yesterday, it's looking more and more like the Bruins will take on the Lightning in the divisionals.


Donald "I didn't say grab. I said hug" Trump is currently on trial, again, for doing something stupid, again, and he is once again ranting like a maniac about how everyone is out to get him, again.

I'm actually thinking that this case may have some merit. It is illegal in the United States to bribe someone in the hopes of that action having an effect on an election. The law was written to prevent peoepl from buying votes but the way it is written implies that any illicit action taken by a candidate in an attempt to hide something is also illegal.

Trump may have actually stepped into a pile of dog poop on this one. Then again, he's been able to dodge all kinds of fecal matter throughout his entire life so I suspect this will be no different, again.
