I was looking forward to coming home, sitting down and relaxing, and watching the Yankee game. But the game was rained out. Now what am I going to do!?
I just finished watching a pretty crazy game in which the Yanks beat the Red Sox 13-5, and batted around twice, in the second and the third innings. Boy was that a fun game to watch on a Monday night!
I was pretty tired when I got home from work this evening, which is unusual, considering I had my regular 30 minute nap at lunch and that usually does the trick for me. I think it has something to do with the fact that I was out until 11 PM last night and didn’t get…
As I mentioned earlier, we had our first softball game tonight and we lost; the final score was 22-16, but it was dark in the last inning and we probably shouldn’t have played it. We still would have lost but the final score would have been 17-14. Still, it was fun. I went 3 for…
…not just the fact that they lost 2 out of 3 to the Red Sox, but that on the second play of the game, Matsui broke his wrist diving for a ball. He’s likely out 3 months, if not the whole season. And this puts an end to his remarkable 518 consecutive game playing streak.…
I can’t wait to get home tonight to catch the first meeting of the Yankees and Red Sox! Since Wakefield is pitching for Boston, I have a good deal of confidence that the Yanks will win. As it is, they have taken a slight lead for 1st place in the division. Overall, I’ve been very…
Each year I have had my season tickets to the Orioles, I have made a CD for the trip to and from the Yard. Of course, this year, wthout a radio in my car, I can’t listen to the CD on the way, but I nonetheless felt it was important to keep up the ritual…
Two days ago, I grumbled about the MLB Extra Innings broadcast of the Yankee game going out at exactly 11 PM in the middle of the bottom of the 10th inning. I was fuming and emailed DirecTV. Today I got a response, and it was friendly and specific enough that it satisfies me.
It was the bottom of the 10th inning, 2 outs, and Jeter was at the plate. Yanks down 4-2 and two men on base. The clock struck 11 PM on the east coast–and the channel on which I was watching the game (one of the MLB Extra Inning channels I get on DirecTV) went black…
I canceled my MLB.com subscription today, and instead, ordered the sports package on DirecTV (not the “Extra Innings” package but the monthly premium package). There are several reasons: MLB.com was not working well on my Macs and I didn’t want to use it on my work PC. MLB.com is $15/month and the resolution is fair…
We went to the Oriole’s/Angels game today and that was a lot of fun. Especially for Ryane because the Angels clobbered the O’s 9-3. I kept score during the game and it was a tricky score-keeping game indeed. During the second inning, Javy Lopez hit what was clearly a homerun to left-center. For some reason,…
As mentioned earlier, here are my scorecards from the Mets game on Sunday. I use a modified version of the traditional way of score-keeping, so somethings may look unfamilar. Marlin’s scorecard Mets scorecard
