My hopes were not high that they would beat the Orioles last night so I wasn't overly disappointed when they lost 5-1.
What I did not expect were the atrocious calls made by the home plate umpire.
They are back at it again this evening with one of the bullpen guys, Bernardino, getting the start. First pitch is at 7:05.
The second loss was the Eagles beating the Patriots 14-13.
It really looked like they were going to win the game. There was about two minutes left to play in the game and Zappe was moving them downfield at a pretty good clip.
At the Patriots 46 yard line, Zappe dropped into a shotgun formation and the center made the worst snap of his career. The ball squirted across the ground, past Zappe and as he turn to fall on it, one of the Eagles players managed to get there first and recovered the ball.
All the Eagles had to do was take a knee and let the clock run out to win the game.
It's preseason and if you are going to screw up a snap, now is the time to do it but NBC kept showing the center sitting on the bench afterwards and it looked like he was about to cry.
Next up for them is the final preseason game on Sunday, the 25th when they will go to Washington to play the Commanders
And speaking of preseason, we are now less that 40 days away from the Rangers @ Bruins first preseason game scheduled for September 22nd
I will be in sports overload in September...
Here are today's links:
- In yet another blow to Psycho Vlad's fragile ego, Ukrainians are leaving reviews of restaurants in area of Russia that the Ukranians have captured.
- And anyone that goes there on vacation is either incredibly stupid or suffering from a severe brain injury.
- Key entry from our favorite police log: "11:18 a.m. There was a moose jam blocking traffic in Glacier National park."
- Oops.
- Here's a little interweb info just in case you wanted to know how a bat pees.
- We, as a society, have taken hurt feelings a bit too far.
