Of course, the line doesn’t say that going into the top of the ninth, the A’s had the lead at 4-3. Guess who came in to close out the game? That’s right, my nemesis, Jim Mecir. He had TWO outs before he gave up a homerun to the White Sox. I had to endure three more innings of WGN morons before Kielty smacked a two run homer in the bottom of the 12th to win the game. Oh, but in the 11th, Chavez got hit in the hand by a pitch. So because of Mecir I was tortured by the clowns calling the game and Chavez left the game injured and Redman’s performance was wasted.
Nice going, Jimmy.
The WGN Sox Dudes – What have I called them so far? Ah, morons and clowns. I watch many sports events on tv and I so detest the Chicago broadcasters. Can we just stop with the whole “good guys” and “bad guys” thing? They are so freakin’ biased when they call the games. And then there’s the whole mispronoucing of the players names. They couldn’t get Kielty or Chavez right. I can ALMOST understand not getting Duchscherer’s name right, but come on, the stadium announcer is freakin’ right there when the relievers are announced. Why can’t they just LISTEN?
Grrrrr!
But hey, GO DUCHSCHERER! I never dread when you’re called to the mound. 😉
Oakland aces prefer to go long – I like this article. I like most of Mychael Urban’s articles. He’s fun to read. 😉
And today was a HOT day…
It’s not even officially summer yet, but it was blazing hot today. Ye gods! I went into work with the Hubby today, which was rather nice. Got to get out of the house and interact with other human beings. I had to wear shorts though. There was no way I was going to try and wear pants today. Even at 0900 hrs, it was starting to simmer outside.
I got to eat at Fuddruckers for lunch. YUM!
See, almost cleaned my plate!
I actually worked a bit on my story too! Amazing, really…
I’m now reading…
I started reading the Harry Potter books over the weekend. I finished up the third one this evening and I’m on the second page of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I’m already confused, but it’s probably because I stopped reading to watch the game. 😛 It’s a bigger book, this fourth one. Maybe I’ll have it finished by the weekend. 😉
See, I wasn’t being ignored…
When I chat with my friends, I never want to bother them. So if I don’t receive replies to my hellos, I rightly figure that they are busy or in some cases not even there. So of course, I was most pleasantly surprised to get an IM from a friend of mine who just got back into town after doing a project in the Caribbean. Ye gods, gone for a month or so! Anyhoo, I’ve been promised more details later. I hope it’s good news for my friend. 😀
(Don’t you just love the way I’m vague? LOL!)
And in parting…
I was going to give some love to my commenters, but alas, I can’t get to my comments! Oh well, what can you do?
Until tomorrow then!
