….but I don’t feel the least bit tired, and it’s game seven of the ALCS, and the Sox are down by two in the bottom of the eighth, and I kind of secretly want the Rays to win (even though the Red Sox are my American League team, and why yes, you can have favorites [...]
» Read the rest of this entry ...Oh my god y’all we were down by five in the bottom of the ninth and then the Pirates walked in two and Chipper drove in two and then Texiera hit a pop fly for the second out and then McCann hit an easy fly that should have been caught BUT THEN JASON BAY DIDN’T [...]

The Phillies are the NL East division champions, courtesy of a historic meltdown in New York.
I even feel a little sorry for Tom Glavine, that he only lasted 1/3 of an inning, that he got booed off the field (really, Mets fans? shut up), and that those things happened in what [...]
I’ve had a bit of a conundrum this week. You see, the Braves are in the wild card race for the playoffs (the division title is sadly too far out of reach), and this week they’re playing the Phillies who are ahead of them for both the wild card and the division title.
Normally, it’d be [...]
Baseball is back! And today, despite their best efforts, the Braves even managed to eke out a win against the Phillies. I can’t wait until the home opener, even if there’s a really good chance the Mets will win. I never really feel like the season’s started until the Braves have played at home, and [...]

I can’t wait.

I know we’re going fruit-picking this Saturday, but we HAVE to be back in time to watch England play Portugal at 11 a.m. We just have to.
In other news, the adapter on my Dell Inspiron 4100 (I know, I’m old school!) has suddenly died, which means my personal laptop is pretty much dead too. I [...]
I’ve had several posts in my head over the last week, but I haven’t actually written any of them out to completion, partly because of work and partly because of carpal tunnel and partly because I’ve simply haven’t had time to write things down lately.
I had a piece half written about World Refugee Day and [...]
Where have you gone, Leo Mazzone? A city turns its lonely eyes to you as you rock slowly back and forth in Baltimore, surrounded by seafood and within spitting distance of the President.
We head to Turner Field, expecting our Braves to show up and play like they usually do, and instead the pitchers who take [...]
Oh, come on. Guess! It’s so easy. Surely, surely you have been counting down to this day since mid-February. Maybe even earlier.
Guess!
It’s not exactly sporting to give up so quickly, but okay. I’ll enlighten you. It’s Opening Day!!! Not that ridiculous “Every day in Atlanta is opening day!” slogan the city’s marketing team unleashed upon [...]
