One inning

I stayed awake long enough to watch one inning of baseball last night.

But before we get to that, let's take a look at the Patriots, shall we.

They beat the crap out of the Commanders last night 48-18. Hell, the Patriots were up 7-0 before Maye even got on the field.

The Commanders won the toss and opted to kick off. They kicked the ball to a guy named Henderson who proceeded to do his best Gale Sayers imitation and return the ball 100 yards for a touchdown.

At the half, the score was 27-3 Patriots. At that point, it was 9:30 and I changed the channel over to the Red Sox-Padres game.


During the only inning of baseball I watched, I was not pleased. Buehler looked "meh" at best and I full expected to wake up in the morning to find that the Red Sox had lost.

Boy, was I surprised to see that they had beaten the Padres 10-2 and Buehler had made it through 6 scoreless innings

I was further surprised to see that Murphy, who was an ace in relief the other night, had only made it through 6 batters, giving up 4 walks and 2 runs.

That win, along with the Judges and the Blue Jays loss, put the Red Sox firmly in the first wild card slot and only 3 games out of first place in the ALEast.

Giolito has the start tonight and first pitch is at 8:40. That means I might be able to watch three or four innings.

WooHoo!
