are you kidding me!? ok let's be honest. the demise of the boston red sox last night was nothing short of shocking meets i knew it was going to come down to this. at one point, p. and i actually exchanged comments like "wow, tampa keeps getting lucky and we can't catch a break" when in reality, it's nothing about luck. i mean yes, there are lucky calls i'll give you that. but some of that just boils down to the ump and how good his eye sight is during that particular call. i can't shit to heavily on the ump's because i know damn well it's a job i'd royally screw up... ( and take that as me admitting there are some things i would fail miserably at... ). let's call a spade a spade... if baseball starts in april and ends in september and you can't win a games in the first (and part of the second) and last month of your season, you don't deserve to win. i could go on (and on and on and on and on) about the game, but i won't bore those of you who think pink hats are meant to be worn to the game. (i mean that in the nicest way possible)....
the one good thing that came out of last night was the rain delay. and while i normally hate them (shocker), it gave us a chance to watch some of our wednesday night shows. on wednesday nights, we tape 'the middle', 'modern family', 'happy endings' (some of our favorites from last season), the real world- although we only watch it to fill the gap between the mtv challenges and we have most recently started watching both 'revenge' and then last night 'suburgatory'. all this taping allows us something to watch on the weekends, which is great. but, suburgatory is just down right funny... along with the new CBS show '2 broke girls', i get my cynical fix for the week. the things these girls say (with the exception of a few not so PC jokes) could very well come out of my mouth. i can't really explain it- you just have to watch it. maybe that's why i laugh so hysterically while p. looks at me like i have snakes growing out of my head. but the stuff is funny. it's the flat line, dead pan delivery that makes it like that, but when you hear that come out of someone else's mouth, it makes me realize, even more, why i embrace my own cynical thoughts.
today could be a banner day for such thoughts... it's gross and rainy out (which a facebook post told me) and the sox lost last night and ended their season (which facebook posts continue to remind me of even though, yeah buddy, i was watching... i got the memo) and i have to go fill out paperwork (for retirement, which i am only about 60 years away from at the rate i'm saving)...
it's a good thing that game ended before midnight... otherwise, it would give today and even bigger reason to suck... (yes, i'm angry... blah...)
