Fun In The Sun

Smiles all around

..and a bad day to be Joe Torre.

Sox Update: Are you kidding me? Another 2-1 win over the Yankees. And for the 3-game series, Sox outscore the Bronx Bombers 6-5. Garcia pitches well - 8 IP, 0 ER and 5 Ks, but Cotts picks up the win, and another nice save by Hermanson. sPods looks like the offensive hero, despite striking out 3 times.

And if the back-to-back 2-1 wins weren't old school enough for ya, the Sox are taking a train from NY to Boston. Let me check my calender. Yep, it says "AD".

Down On The Farm:

Charlotte (AAA): return to their old ways...

Birmingham (AA): in progess at press time.

Winston-Salem (A): Lost 10-5 to Wilmington. Haggerty was 2 for 4. Garcia homered.Dizard stuck out 5 in 3 and 2/3rds.

Kannapolis (A): off day.

Bristol (R): Beat JC 10-1. Acosta was 3 for 5 with 5 RBIs. Tavares was 4 for 4. Cunningham was 3 for 3.

Great Falls (R): In progess at press time.

Baseball phrase of the day: still under editorial review at press time.

Today's music selection: Rosa Passos, Herbie Hancock and Miles Davis. And I've just realized that my narrow selection of music over the past year is revolting. I've got to change that.

After watching the Bobby Brown reality show, and Anna Nicole, I thought mainstream cable TV could not get any worse. That was until I witnessed the horror that is "Wild On Tara", which, near as I can tell, just shows an over-made-up Tara Reid stumbling her way thru Greece with the Hilton sisters. It sounds like fun, but, like Anna Nicole, the whole reality thing turns out to be stranger than fiction for ol Tara, and thus, back fires. She is beyond idiotic. I may keep watching, in the hope that she gets run over by a scooter on Corfu.
