Note to self: When a rain delay causes a game to start at ten instead of seven, and you have work the next day, it is a bad idea to turn the TV on and say to yourself, "I'll just watch for a little while." Because you are a fucking liar, and you will not be able to pull yourself away for two hours because you have been entranced by Boomer's dominating performance, and then you will get maybe five hours of sleep for the second night in a row. Five hours of sleep is not sufficient when you go to work at a job you hate that has been complicated by grocery delivery and a cash audit.
I am so tired. But Wells was amazing, and I enjoyed watching him pitch (and watching our guys back him up with some runs), and when I found out that he pitched eight shut-out innings with only ninety-four pitches, seventy-four of which were strikes, I was glad that I had seen six of those innings. I was also glad that I apparently missed yet another Heart Attack Courtesy of Foulkie. Final score: 4-0, Red Sox. Now Boomer, if you would spread a little of that mojo to the rest of the starting rotation, that would be wonderful, because they have been making us sad for the last week. Spend some extra time with Wake, okay?
Other teams: Tigers lost 3-1, with that one run coming from Jason Johnson's homer. Hee. You really did have to do everything last night, didn't you, JJ? Astros won, 4-1, which makes their sixth win in twenty-nine road games. Woo! WORLD SERIES HERE WE COME!
The Yankees also managed a win, because they remembered that the Brewers kind of suck, so they talked amongst themselves and decided to score a billion runs. Next up for them: the Cardinals. I refuse to make any kind of prediction here, because every attempt I have made at a Yankee series prediction has been disaster (I predicted that the Tigers would take that series, that the Yankees would sweep the Red Sox, and that the Yankees would sweep the Royals. I LOSE). I will, however, observe that the Yankees are still under .500, and the Cardinals most decidedly are not.
Tonight: Off day for everyone except the Astros. I am going to bed early tonight - wait, Andy Pettitte's starting.
I'll just watch for a little while.
