Sometimes I hate Blogger. I spent the last 40 minutes writing some good stuff about the games last night, and I accidentally hit the wrong button, and poof…all gone. You guys miss out on good playoffs, so I will just write my notes in and you will have to insert your own jokes.
MIN 3 NYY 1
Good pitching from Min. Santana had leg cramp. LeCroy single, scored on Hunter triple. Hunter got a triple? Why no error on Bernie? Soriano overthrow scores Hunter. Stewart robbed Matsui of extra bases. Man on first, Godzilla=double play. Do intangebles have a shelf life?
SFG 2, FLA 0
Schmidt pitched great. Cabrera is a good leftfielder playing third. Walking Bonds in 8th is stupid. Alfonzo doubles in Bonds. I hate all teams that walk Bonds with 2 out and no one on. Excellent job by Berman, Sutcliffe, and Gwynn.
CHC 4, ATL 2
I hate Atlanta. Fans are dumb. Tomahawk Chop is racist and stolen from Fla. St. Alot of Cubs fans there. Thought Kerry Wood homered in the 5th. Dusty Baker left him in when he was clearly out of gas. Farnsworth throws unnaturally hard. Braves were completely hadcuffed by Wood, but could have hit Borowski, lost all ability to hit smartly. Vinny Castilla and Alex Gonzalez are horrible.
See, that wasn’t as much fun.
I usually write my posts at school, in one of the computer labs on campus. I live in a house off campus, so I walk into the lab from the parking lot. In the short walk, I noticed something I never did before. Everyone is wearing Red Sox hats. And not the trendy “I don’t want to bend the brim” garbage, but actual, worn Red Sox hats. Not only that, there is a certain hum to campus now. People are excited about the game tonight.
I don’t have any more analysis in me. Sorry folks, but I will tell you something. I haven’t been this excited for a Red Sox game since Game 3 in the 1999 ALCS. I actually don’t mind the start time being 10 because it builds the drama all day, and my Yankee fan housemate will be asleep. Really, 10 is probably the best time they could have started the game, because of the other games they have on the docket. However, Thursdays game should be in prime time on the East Coast. Fox likes the Yankees better from a money making stand point. Sigh. Oh well, I’ll be a happy zombie tomorrow.
Pedro Martinez vs. Tim Hudson at 10pm tonight. I can taste it already.
