Oh, I LOVE turning the game on a few minutes late just in time to see ANOTHER STRETCHER COMING OUT ONTO THE FIELD.

Shit, Torii Hunter. I know you're a Twinkie so technically I hate you and all, but I hope you're okay.

Edited because I'm sorry, we're booing Manny at Fenway now? I hate you all.

I would like to open this particular baseball post by announcing irrelevantly that I love my bank, I'm so glad I switched, the customer service is fantastic, and I love them. Town and Country Federal Credit Union RULES! I didn't think it was possible to actively enjoy the place where you keep your money.

In news of baseball: I lost track of what I meant to post yesterday in my annoyance over the Manny issue, but I did mean to observe that the Tigers lost their last game 3-9, dropping a game below .500 again. Because, really, who wants to have a winning record? What fun would that be? What kind of stupid team plays up to its potential and takes full advantage of having some of the best players in the game? (I enjoy how that last bit applies to more than one of my teams.)

In news of Wow I'm A Moron: The Astros did play yesterday. Oops. They played the Mets and won 3-2. This kicks more ass than usual for two reasons: First, our starter was a rookie, Ezequiel Astacio, and he pitched damn near as well as their starter, Pedro Martinez, who is apparently some awesome big shot or something, I don't know. You know your rotation is special when that happens. Secondly, this win puts them in first place for the NL wild card. I am so proud I can't even stand it. To come back like this after the way they started out is amazing.

In news of Games That Actually Happened Today: The Red Sox just finished winning 8-5 against the Twinkies. The Twinkies' defense is currently my best friend, what with making like eighty-seven errors on one play to allow three runs. The ball gets thrown away. The ball gets gathered up. The ball gets thrown away AGAIN. The ball gets gathered up. The ball gets thrown to home to try and throw out Johnny Damon, except oops it bounces off his helmet instead. It was fantastic.

It would have been the best part of the game, but then John Olerud, who I totally always liked by the way, got a grand slam! =D And then Curt got a save without giving up any runs!! Beautiful.
