Wow, what are the odds? That's, like, the one part of the story I made up. I'm sure we said whoever the crappiest pitcher of that month, I just figured Mendoza to be an obvious choice. And you come up with this fact. Amazing. That's really funny.

The sunflower seeds that widely missed the cup were unlikely to be Mendoza's. If you watch the bonus features on one of the Red Sox DVDs, you'll notice Timlin points out that Mendoza is the King of Seed-Tossing.

Michael, it's just that one widely known side effect of mescaline is overuse of semi-colons...we're just concerned is all. Hehehe

Christopher Cross? What, the Starland Vocal Band wasn't available?

BS, he doesn't need it...it comes to him naturally. And hey, we're getting close to LOST! And Jere, it is and will be these kind of posts that will get us through the winter, on the many days when there is no hard (or soft) off season Sox news. And right now, I'm thanking you in advance for making our winter easier to take, until February. I'll do my best too. at my place. Papi 50 tonight...I have the vibe, plus Santana tomorrow. Go Schill. GOOD JOB. That's why you are the number one stop on my daily "blog jog." Hope I'm in yours. Enjoy this perfect weather. 70 day, 48 night (at least here).

Michael, serious question- how much mescaline do you eat before posting here?

Since this is "Talk Like A Pirate Day", I saw a picture of Cap'n Slappy:

It was on the back page of the NY Post;

Cap'n Slappy was minus his black Prada Milan Purse;

He probably told his team mates "Arrrrghhhhh Matey, Bite Me Crank";

Cap'n Intangibles most likely, told him that NOTHING was there.

Christopher Cross?

I haven't heard of him in nearly 25 Years:

Retro-Time!

Cool! I almost mentioned the "scalp-free zone," as we planned to get tix to the game the night before that way, since Chan and I'd discoved the SFZ the year before. But I'm pretty sure we just went up to the ticket office and got sweet seats. No, maybe that was me and Chan in '02. Yeah, cuz we got the seats in the wheelchair row, so we each had a space on either side. That was the game with "the dweeb." (see the photo gallery, 4/6/02)

I'm not surprised you were there. Tell any Sox fan about a game you saw in Baltimore, and they probably were there, too. But, yeah, that's funny. I'll check for you in my pictures.

I have no idea why I thought of that game last night, and why I chose to stay up til after 1 writing about it.

And you won't believe this, but my wife and I were at that game. We got tickets outside the stadium in the 'scalp-free zone' about 20 minutes before the game in section 52, row ee, about 8 rows behind the sox dugout for face value, with two friends of ours. I remember the nomar/todd flinch, the thunder, the homers, everything; we used drink trays as umbrellas while we hustled up to the concourse when the security guard finally made us move when the lightning was getting bad. I got drunk during the rain delay, my wife hadn't paid attention to where we parked, and we wandered the streets of Baltimore for a half hour going to each garage I ever parked in for an O's game. Good times. I can't believe you were at that game. What made you think of that game? Those were the best seats I've had at the Yard...what a day...
