I have filled my day with nothing today. Well, not quite nothing, but the next closest thing. I watched countless episodes of Scrubs which is probably the last funny sitcom on TV. (People who watch The Office will debate this but I don’t find The Office funny. It’s too much like being at work to…
In an email thread yesterday between several of us, strausmouse said, regarding baseball salaries and World Championships (and in particular, the Yankees): “you can try and buy a championship every year. Hasn’t worked out lately though, has it?” It got me thinking about whether you can ever buy a world championship and my gut tells…
I attended the my last Orioles game of the season today. The game was against the Twins, and naturally, I was rooting for the Twins in hope that the Yankees won’t have to play them in the divisional series. The Twins ended up winning the game. AJ went to the game with me and it…
So I’m sitting here, innocently reading, when suddenly, I had a kind of daydream about when I was a kid and we’d play baseball or whiffle ball in nearby fields. We never had enough people to field 9 players on each time. Often the teams were 2 or 3 players each. But, inventive as kids…
I got a good night’s sleep last night, after a long day yesterday. After breakfast this morning, Mom and I went for a walk around Buddy Attick lake in Greenbelt. We then headed up to Baltimore for the Yankees game. The weather was perfect today, with great breeze blowing in off the harbor. And of…
I told myself before the Yankees game tonight that I would watch the game until Randy Johnson gave up a hit. As it turns out, I had to wait until the top of the 7th inning before he gave up a hit. The Yanks are winning 5-0. I think it’s safe for me to go…
I was looking forward to settling down this evening to watch the Yankees/Tigers game, and when I flipped to the channel on my DirecTV ExtraInnings package, it was blank. I thought it might be a problem with the service, but all of the other channels were working. So I checked the game online and, you…
When I woke up this morning (after 12+ hours of sleep), I told myself that I would go to bed at a reasonable hour tonight. Now, at 10 PM, I just can’t help myself. I have to watch the Yankee game against Seattle. As long as they continue on this winning streak, I feel compelled…
The Yankees have done it! They have just completed a five game sweep of the Boston Red Sox to go up 6-1/2 games ahead of Boston in the A.L. East. The final score: 2-1. And now that that’s over, and the work day is done, I am getting into bed and sleeping. I have been…
It’s 3:21 AM here in Riverdale, Maryland, and not a creature is stirring, except for me. But I’m making good progress, and while I’m feeling a little tired, I am more convinced that this will help me when I get into work tomorrow and allow me to focus on the new project. Can I just…
Dad arrived in town yesterday evening. I had already watched the Yankees win the first game of their doubleheader against the Red Sox. Once Dad arrived, I sat down to watch the second game of the doubleheader, which turned out to be the longest 9 inning game in MLB history at 4 hours 45 minutes.…
Now that I am working from home, I can actually watch the Yankees/Red Sox game that is starting in 5 minutes. Que suerte!
