This is going to be a battle.
No sooner had we posted than the Sox erupted for four runs -- the exclamation point being a bomb of a home run by Jason ‘Manny who?’ Bay.
The Angels stormed back, cracking Dice-k for some singles and getting one run on the board. Dice looks very hittable.
Nancy, who has about as much confidence in Dice’s control as she does in the U.S. economy right now, said, ‘well, at least he didn’t walk anyone.’
By the way, what the heck does an English-speaking catcher say to a Japanese speaking pitcher when he walks out to the mound to calm him down?
Sadly, Nancy and I are surrounded by Sox fans. We had really hoped to get to know some of the natives. ‘This would never happen in Fenway,’ Nancy says with barely concealed disgust in her voice.
Just missed a foul ball by about 5 rows. Some dude nearly tackled one of those nice senior citizens with the funny hats the stadium hires to show people to their seats and sing during the 7th inning stretch to get it.
The laptop is on the fritz, leaving me no option but to punch this into my Blackberry. Thumbs hurt. I’m going to get a beer.
Nancy here-’Yooooooooouuuuuuukkkkkk’
In the spirit of the VP debate last night: I think Sox and Angels fans can agree that Youk looks ridiculous up there at the plate with that silly bouncing stance.
