Sorry for the lack of posts the last few days; I've been sick. In fact, all I've done in the last 72 hours -aside from attending a friend's wedding- is sleep, and watch the Yanks/Sox games.
Speaking of which, what was I saying about this baseball postseason not being exciting? The Sox are now down 3-2 going back to New York, just as they were in last year's ALCS that they almost won. I think David Ortiz had to get the game-winning hit, in order to atone for what may have been the most laughable base-stealing attempt I've ever seen.
And don't forget about the NL- even though the Astros-Cards game started three hours after the AL game, Jeff Kent's game-winning homer came about 20 minutes after Ortiz's hit. Meanwhile, my forecast of a Sox-Astros series is looking more and more possible...
Stay tuned tomorrow, for some political commentary, as well as a movie review or two.

Well, yes, it was incomprehensibly stupid, but watching the replay it looked like he was probably safe. Not that it matters. Go Sox!!

Posted by: Funnya at October 19, 2004 11:34 AMThanks for coming to the wedding considering your weakened state. It meant a lot to me for you to be there. Hopefully We'll see you again soon.
Posted by: at October 19, 2004 06:01 PMThe play Ortiz was caught stealing on was a botched hit-and-run. Mientkewicz missed the sign and neglected to attempt to put bat on ball. It was still pretty stupid, but not as stupid as a straight steal would be.
Missed my fix of daily Steve...
C'mon and give us a better comment about the the Stewart/Carlson smackdown. Does Carlson always act like a baby on his own show?
Speaking of babies, or girls (whatever, same thing), A-rod sure looked manly swinging his girly paws at Bronson Arroyo. Maybe next time he could paint his nails Yankee pinstripes?
