A few notes on today's baseball game
Patriots Day means Boston Marathon and Red Sox brunch. A few thoughts for today while watching the game:
Reason number 584624023 why I love where I live: all the sudden there is a loud noise outside so I have to turn up the TV to here the game. The loud noise happened to be the same reason everything in the game stopped for a moment: a flyover by a couple jets.
Remdog just mentioned that this is the earliest game ever for Seattle: 8AM Pacific Standard Time first pitch. First of all, I hate it when away games for the Sox start at 8 instead of 7, so I'll try to remember this day and Seattle fans next time I'm pissed about being an hour late. However, it was also mentioned that no one in Seattle is airing this game on TV. That's kinda shameful. You don't DESERVE to have games at regular times Seattle. You can bet that if the Sox were playing some random team on some local holiday (read: Blue Jays and Boxing Day) at 8AM, there would be enough Sox fans in Boston watching to warrant the game being aired. This is why your sports teams are either bad or leaving (Supersonics).
Welcome to the Lenny Dinardo Era! Not like he's been great or anything, but here's betting he's as good as most teams 5th starters. But seriously, why did we trade Arroyo again? I know I'm not exactly the first person to say this, so I won't repeat everything. And I won't even comment on how Willie Mo has been playing, I feel like that's kinda irrelevant. We need another great hitter like Fenway needs more Obstructed View Seating: it might make the numbers better on paper, but is it really going make anything better? Back to pitching, we'll either have to stick with Dinardo for a while or call up a prospect a little earlier than expected. Not that I have a problem with those solutions, but if Arroyo was still around we wouldn't have NEED for ANY solution.
OK, back to the AI grind. Maybe more later after the game about the marathon.
...
I wrote all that around the 5th inning. However, I just watched Mark Loretta DEMOLISH a walk off home run, and I felt the need to add this last bit: was anyone else thinking "If we can just get to Big Papi, we will get out with a win"? He had already tied the game twice, and we all know what he does. I swear, I saw Loretta win it, but I'm still just hoping we can keep the game alive for him to get up.
