We moved on in three. Hooray! I'll just cover the two games briefly, especially since I missed the first one...

There were three things I really wish I hadn't missed when I was on the road the other day. I'll go over them in slightly excessive detail now:

1. Dustin Pedroia's first postseason hit. He knocked a double and I didn't see him, and it ( Read more... )

Yaaaay, twenty wins for Mr. Beckett! That was what I needed to see! Now if only everyone else on the pitching staff could receive that kind of run support...Tonight, though, Josh didn't completely steal the show. Several people homered - oh, and Jacoby Ellsbury made a catch in the fifth that I'll be highlighting, as well. You need to see it to ( Read more... )

Well, tonight's the night. It is effectively this weekend that could determine what happens in the postseason this year.

Tonight, the Sox open their final three games against the Yankees this year. It'll be Matsuzaka going up against Pettite, followed by a literal battle for the Cy Young Award (Beckett vs. Wang) and finally Clemens vs. Schilling, ( Read more... )

Why can't I have one of these? Honestly, why can't I?

It's called the Lamborghini Reventon, and it's way out of my price range. Could somebody please tell me how to rig the lottery so that I can afford this car, please? Please? Someone? Anyone? Not that I'm desperate or anything - I do adore my Chevy Cobalt (Chase Spiggott III - don't ask about the ( Read more... )

Wow. Wow, wow, wow.

We were down 8-1 at the end of the top of the fourth. We ended up winning 16-10. How amazing is that?

More importantly, how the hell did we do it? Well, in the bottom of the fourth, we came back for four more, adding them to a home run from Jacoby in the third. Three more came in during the fifth inning, although Tampa Bay had ( Read more... )

We lost last night. That makes four in a row. At least we put up a fight - the Yankees lost to Tampa Bay 9-1. They won this afternoon, though.

See, we only lost 9-8, partly because this fine young man went four-for-five. Papi also hit a home run, which got us on the board early. It's a real shame that one didn't pan out...We didn't lose any ground, ( Read more... )

This totally made me want to marry Pedroia. Apparently, in order to help his team achieve their goal of winning the College World Series, he actually gave up his scholarship to a transfer student. He's seriously turning into Thatcher right before my eyes, and I'm absolutely loving it to pieces.

Of course, I can't marry Pedroia because he's already ( Read more... )
