Two losses

The Red Sox scored 4 runs in the first inning last night and I was hopeful. But since the Red Sox don't want me to have hope, they decided to shit the bed and ended up losing 8-6 to the Twins.

So much for being tied for 3^rd place in the ALEast...

Today was no better. The opener, Morán, gave up 2 runs in the 1^st inning and Bello came in to give up 2 more runs over the next 5 innings. They ended up losing 4-2 to the Twins.

At least they didn't give me hope.

They are now tied with the Orioles for last place in the ALEast.

The farm has been planted.

She has peppers, squash, cucumbers and those nasty, evil tomato things.

I'm hoping the peppers do well because I like bell peppers. They are great in an omelette or fried up with some onions on a hamburger.

I started the sprinkler system schedule last night and I can already sense my water bill going up...
