This was a good day to go because it was a Tuesday, it was partly cloudy and the temps were about 80°. That means it wasn't terribly crowded, there was a decent mix of sun and shade and it wasn't ball-melting hot.
The best sideshow at the Big E is the people.
I am overweight, I know this. I gave up smoking cigarettes about 15 years ago and I replaced my nicotine addiction with food. As a result, I gained weight. Because I'm fat, I dress appropriately. For instance, I avoid spandex, belly shirts, or gym shorts. Instead I wear t-shirts, polo shirts, long pants or golf shorts. You know, basic old guy stuff.
No one wants to see a old fat guy in spandex or a belly shirt.
I saw people today with belly shirts, spandex, tube tops, gym shorts, etc... that shouldn't be allowed in public wearing those things.
When you look up to see what looks like a 3½ foot wide sack of popcorn jammed into a pair of yoga pants waddling away from you, you can't help but look away and shake your head.
I spent a lot of my time walking around just shaking my head.
I have been waiting for this to make it's way to the big leagues.
I personally think that the majority of calls are correct but there are certain umpires who are wrong more often then not. The perfect example of that was Angel Hernandez. He was unable to call a game without controversy because he was wrong most of the time.
I don't know if this will change the outcome of any games but at least it provides a way for the players to get a shot at correcting a bad call.
Speaking of baseball, the Red Sox are in Toronto to start a 3-game series against the Blue Jays.
While I know they are capable of beating the Blue Jays, I do not have high hopes for a series win.
To be honest, I'm hoping they dont get swept.
First pitch was at 7:07 and Giolito had the start. As I post this, it is 1-0 Red Sox in the bottom of the 2nd inning.

- Some people should not be allowed to have children.
- I can't tell you the number of times I left work early and ran over to one of these places trying to get my hands on the latest video game console before Christmas...
- Key line in this story: "He was just a really good guy."
