I'm busy watching baseball

You should be busy not surfing the internets.

Well, they won last night

But this afternoon sucked.

As I type this, the game just ended with the Athletics winning 7-3

The curse of the Red Sox is that they leave men on base.

And I don't mean a guy on first. No, when they leave guys on base, they do it with the bases loaded or runners on second and third. They get right to the very edge of scoring runs and then they call it quits.

On top of that, the Red Sox have never done great on left coast trips. The bright side of this depressing beginning to the season is that they are getting this trip out of the way early.

Tomorrow they start a three game series against the Diamondbacks. Playing in a national league park is always fun because I get to watch the pitchers bat.


This made me laugh:



While I figure out if I should be pissed at Apple because my freshly repaired laptop is not behaving like it should, you can visit these:

Last place it is.

With their 1-5 record, the Red Sox are tied for last place with the Angels.

Not a good start.


Got my laptop back today.

Seems that MacBook keyboards are defective and mine decided to start showing off its defects. So last Saturday I took it up to the Apple store and dropped it off so they could give it a shiny new non-defective keyboard.

Fortunately, I have three other computers I can use to feed my internet habits so the four day loss of my Mac didn't kill me. What did kill me was that during that time I used the Spectrum online email reader to read my emails.

Holy crap, what a piece of shit that product is. I feel bad for anyone using that particular monstrosity to get their emails.

Thank God I got my email reader back.

They are on the fast track to last place

I know it's early in the season and there is no reason to panic but right now, I'm genuinely concerned that the starting pitching staff may be a hot steamy pile of shit.

I did manage to watch the first two innings last night and it looked like Price was doing okay. Then I went to bed and fell asleep. When I woke up this morning, I found out that I was wrong.

They are digging a hole that they are going to have to climb out of at some point.


I don't know why I insist on doing this to myself but I need to go buy some grass seed.

The raking of the front yard revealed all the dead spots from the drought of two years ago and it's time to fix them. Unfortunately, I don't suspect that my grass-growing ability has improved since the last time I tried this but what the hell, I'm going to try again.

What's that old saying about crazy people?

Doing the same thing over and over again while expecting different results is a sign of insanity.

New series starts tonight

The Red Sox are in California to start a four game series against the Athletics and my hopes are they take all four games. The Athletics are one of those teams that you never know what's going to happen with them. They are "The Money Ball" team run by Billy Bean and that guy is a wizard when it comes to picking players.

Price is pitching tonight and I'm really hoping he does better than the first four starters. The Red Sox need some wins.
