First Joey Clutch comes through like he always does. He makes a Brooksian catch in the second inning, and then comes up in the 7th down 1-0 with the bases juiced facing fireballer Rafeal Soriano.
First pitch he sees......gone. Grand Slam.
GG Seattle, but not really. The Mariners actually take the lead back in the 8th inning, 5-4. Then for the second time this season, with Seattle closer "Everyday" Eddie Guardado on the mound, down one run, with two outs the Sox hit a game tying home run.
Pablo Ozuna comes up pinch hitting for Rob Mackowiak.
First pitch he sees.......gone. Tie ball game. The best part?
It's Ozuna's first CAREER home run(335 career at bats), and when he hit it, he knew it.
So it was on to extra innings and Pablo's night still wasn't over. Again there were 2 outs in the 11th inning. For some reason the Mariners outfielders were playing on the warning tracks, and Ozuna hit a little ground ball up the middle that got through. Well the outfielders were playing so deep that Ozuna got a double out of it.
The Mariners didn't learn their lesson though. The outfielders went back out to the warning track and watched as a bloop pop up off the bat of Juan Uribe dropped about 8 feet in front of them, Ozuna scored.
Now GG Seattle. If the outfielders were playing normal depth, inning over onto the 12th. Thank God for bad managers.
The only bad part of the game was that Freddy Garcia pitched a gem, going 7+ with 1 run and 3 hits, and got no credit for it.
Watched the new South Park this morning. Is that Dog Whisperer thing an actual show? TV is so fucking retarded these days, I'm embarassed to admit I watch it.
I do though, but mostly sports. Like right now I'm watching the Tigers/Angels game. (The MLB Extra Innings package owns.)
Anyway, back to South Park. It was a good episode, but I still feel like something is missing when I watch the new episodes since the Mohammed fiasco. The notion that the best way to raise a child right is to treat them like a dog is funny, cuz it's kinda true.
What's with all the one character episodss lately though? That's the biggest clue I get about the direction of the show. The last few episodes have revolved around one central character and haven't included others. When South Park is at it's best it's got everyone involved and has multiple story lines. In the last 2 episodes I think Stan, Kyle, and Kenny have 5 lines combined.
Though even with all this it's still the best show on television. Of course that's not really saying much. Oooh look theres a new episode of Ice Fishing with Former Child Stars coming on! Last week there was some drama between Gary Coleman and Alfonso Ribiero when GC (That's what the cool kids call him) accused Alfonso of "bogarting all the good holes."
I hope they work through this. Those two are precious together.
Speaking of television, since I do watch it I'll list the shows that I actually do watch. (Non-sports division)
- South Park-Bestest show of all time. That used to be the Simpsons crown, but well, sucking for like 6 years killed that.
- The Boondocks-Absolutely hilarious. Joining South Park as one of the edgiest, most un-PC shows out there.
- The Sopranos-It's the Sopranos. I'm Italian. Don't listen to what other Italians tell you when they get all huffy about the "negative stereotype" of all Italians being mobsters. We are all in the mob. So don't fuck with us.
- The Daily Show-The only news show I trust is the fake news show.
- The Colbert Report-See above.
- My Name is Earl-When I first heard the premise of this show I was figured it would suck. Then a bunch of people said it was good. For the most part they're right.
- The Office-Not as good as the BBC version, but it's still pretty damn funny. Steve Carell is great. Funny how the Daily Show rules the world of TV now. Stewart, Colbert, Carell.
- Family Guy-I liked it a lot better before they brought it back to be honest. The new episodes seem to be trying to hard to be ridiculous. I still watch it though.
Something I learned this weekend in Urbana:Kevin snores like a dying giraffe with a midget caught in it's throat. (It's not dying cuz it's choking either. It's dying of smugness.)
Picture of the Day
Damn women drivers
The Bulls have a game tonight. If they lose the season is over. Of course that means they'll win. Whether or not they win Game 7 in Miami I don't know. It's funny how NBA officials tend to always give calls to the home teams.
Also in clarification for what I said about Heat guard, and Chicago native Dwyane Wade yesterday. I have no doubt when he fell at first he was injured. When he came back out though he was fine, and just pretending to be hurt. I mean he'd run around, spin, jump and do everything on the offensive side just fine..........and then limp back grimacing in pain on defense.
GFY Wade. I used to respect you.
Keepin It Real Since 1980,
Tom
