The Red Sox fans got their money's worth today.

It was a twelve inning game for the Red Sox in their home opener and fortunately they were able to get it done in under 4 hours.

Price pitched well today and that indicates that maybe, just maybe, he's back on his game.

It was a pitchers duel for the first 8 innings with the score 0-0 until Carson Smith gave up a two run homer in the eighth. Then the Red Sox managed to tie it up in ninth and they went into extra innings.

I drove home listening to the ninth inning, took care of The Dog, got the mail, took care of The Dog, got changed, took care of The Dog. You see, he needs to pee when we get home, then he needs to eats and right after that, he needs to poop. It's his ritual.

So after all that, I turned on NESN and picked up the action in the eleventh inning.

Not much happened in the eleventh but the twelfth was exciting as hell when Bradley hit a double, they walked Betts who promptly stole second and then Benintendi managed to work a walk. This loaded the bases with one out.

This brought Ramirez to the plate and he actually came through with a long drive over the outfielders head to drive in Bradley for the win.

I'm liking this team.

A lot.

No baseball this evening

Well, there was baseball just no baseball I was overly interested in.

The New York Aaron Judges starring Giancarlo Stanton beat the Rays and the Astros beat the Orioles this afternoon. Neither game was appealing to me because, well, they aren't covered on any television channels I get.

I did watch a little bit of the Indians / Angels game that was on the MLB channel and I'll probably pay attention to the Twins / Pirates game simply because the Pirates are undefeated and I like them.

They keep on winning

Granted, they are playing teams that are traditionally not all that good but hey, at least they are getting off to a good start.

Last night was a good win because not only did the starter, Brian Johnson, pitch well, the hitters finally started hitting the ball well.

I'm hoping tonight goes just as well, if not better.

Since tonight is an early game (they started at 6:05), I'm going to call this a short posting and just give you these few links:

No retirement for you!

The DJIA dropped almost 2%, the S&P dropped 2.5% and the NASDAQ dropped 2.75% today

That's a lot of retirement money that is not there anymore.

Hopefully it will be back soon. I'm hoping it's just on a vacation or maybe a short trip to see some sights.

So the Mass State Police have eliminated the turnpike troop (Troop E) and are shifting the troopers that didn't get suspended over to the the three other troops (B, C and H) that border the pike.

I'm not entirely sure how that move will change the fraud being committed but then again, what do I know.

I'm going to watch the Red Sox play baseball in a National League park. It's always fun to watch American League pitchers try to bat.

While I do that, you can click on these:

• Apparently Tide Pods are no longer a thing.



• Australia: What doesn't kill ya, swims alongside and contemplates killing you.

They took three out of four.

The Red Sox won again today when they beat the Rays 2-1.

The Red Sox starting pitchers are throwing the ball better than anyone, with a combined ERA of 0.75. For those of you that don't care, that means if they had all pitched in one game, they would have given up only three quarters of a run.

Not bad for a starting rotation with two members on the DL.

I hope you all had a nice Easter and if any of you are recently resurrected, let me be the first to say, "Gah! Get the hell away from me you creepy zombie-like being!"

As for us, our youngest and his girlfriend joined us for a new tradition - Easter Lasagna.

Trust me, it was way better than ham and stuff.

I have already cast my vote for lasagna on every holiday.
