So I got home about an hour after the game started. And, since I had the cable guy hook up the living room too, I was able to turn on the game.
Ohhh, it felt good to watch baseball. And this game? Was CRAZY.
Manny hit by pitch! Manny gets home run immediately thereafter!
Pitch aimed near Papi's head!
FIIIIIIGHT!!
Trotter! Blaine Neal! Brazelton!
Arroyo's first deliberate hit-by-pitch!
Most half-assed brawl ever!
Payton's grand slam!
Papi gets a homer!
The Devil Rays' relief sucks astounding amounts of wind!
And we win, 11-3. Now that's more like it.
And I think Blaine Neal gets to be king for today. I loved how, when Trot and Brazelton were getting into it, Neal forced his way between them and helped get Trot off the field. No thoughts of violence, just focused on protecting Trot and getting the situation under control. It's entirely possible that he helped keep someone from getting hurt.
I also enjoyed listening to Jerry and Don talk about how obviously the Rays pitcher who aimed at Ortiz - whose name is LANCE CARTER, which is the best boyband hybrid name ever - was going to get ejected, and it seemed as though a Sox player would be ejected too, but they just COULDN'T imagine who it could possibly be.
Me, watching the footage of Trot racing onto the field just ahead of everyone else: "Trot?"
Jerry and Don: "Nope, not a clue, who on earth would they pull?"
Me, watching the replay of Trot lunging into the crowd at Carter, only to be derailed by Brazelton: " . . . Trot."
Jerry and Don: "Couldn't be Ortiz, he was restrained and never got into it, but who else is there?"
Me, watching the footage of Trot trying to get away from Neal and whoever else and get back into the fray: "TROT."
Jerry and Don, after the game resumes: "Hey, they pulled Trot Nixon. Huh."
Me: "Yeah, GO FIGURE."
God, I'm so glad I got cable in time for this. Being stuck listening to all that would have been torture.
