NOTE: I’m posting this on Tuesday, June 13, but the events described herein took place on Saturday, June 10, 2006 Saturday began as gloomy and cold outside as Friday night ended. The ambient temperature when we finally woke up (around 9:30) was 39 degrees! It was also misting slightly. Doug and I headed over to…
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,…
