Boston's Rally Monday 2007















It was all pretty fun. Then I went to our playoff softball game. We lost. I played well again, and I was psyched that the final inning was extended enough for me to get one last at bat, looking for a 3 for 3 day. I lined one to right, but somehow the girl on first got forced at second, ending our season, with the tying run on at least sextuple deck. I totally wounded my knee in last week's game, allowing dirt to fester in there. I like to dive and slide and stuff. It was cool how some blood ended up in those strings that go across knee-holes on jeans. But I ended up with a hole in my knee that oozes gray stuff and looks like a little flame. Firebrand of the American League, I guess. Anyway, I avoided sliding today, but I somehow went to a knee to field a grounder, and landed right on my flame-hole-wound-thing. At least the season's over, so I've got time to heal. My girlfriend and I made the play of the year tonight, too. I was at short, and a guy tried to score from first on a ball to left field. I went out and took the cutoff, and saw the guy rounding third. I fired the ball in to my girlfriend who was catching. The ball took about three hops, but it was right on target. She caught it and made the sweet tag. Out at the plate. Doesn't happen in softball very often. It was a fun season, my first time playing any kind of organized ball in 13 years. [Correction: That's way off. I was actually playing left field that inning, and I was playing shallow, and it was a ground single to me, and I threw home. Sorry to make you all pull out your scorecards again.]
Red Sox ALDS deal: Game 1, Wednesday at 6:30, Beckett vs. Peter Brady. Game 2, which I will be at, is Friday at 8:30, Dice on the mound. Game 3 is Sunday in Anaheim at 3 PM, with Schill on the hill. And we'll worry about the rest later. I have a good feeling about Game 1.
