Game 7?!?!?!????

I didn’t see that coming. There will be a game 7 between the Yankees and the Red Sox. They are tied at 3 to 3. The first teams to do so. My husband pointed out that the Yankees are already the biggest losers in baseball for this year is it just how big a loser they are going to be. There was the 22 to 0 game earlier in the year. Now they are the first team to go from 3 games up to even. If the BoSoxs pull this off tonight it will be a miracle. The Yankees have a tendency to answer things like last night’s game with lots of runs and determination. But the BoSoxs have proved that you can’t count them out. The umpires did make the correct calls all the way down the line. A-Rod should be ashamed of his unsportsmanlike behavior. Pumping his arms my Aunt Fanny. He slapped that ball out of Arroyo’s glove.

Caroline has decided to be precocious and start the terrible twos about a month and half early. She threw temper tantrums about her food, things she could not have, napping right before falling asleep in the car, and just about anything else she felt slighted on. To say she was a handful yesterday is an understatement.
jmnnnmnnnnnml,flCaroline’s comments on the above statement as she got to my keyboard this morning and started typing.

So far this week I made the body of the doll. I still have a lot to do. It has been raining the past couple of days so I haven’t gotten to the decorations. I am hoping to do so today. So slowly I am getting to all the things that I need to do. I am trying to avoid things that eat up my free time that really isn’t free right now.

I am grateful for rain.

Honestly, I did see the 7 games coming. These two teams were so evenly matched going in, it was inevitable it would take 7 games to sort out.

And the behavior of both the Yankees and their fans last night was, IMO, churlish and petulant. They're behaving like spoiled children. We, who watched the entire pitching staff crumble like a house of cards in a stiff breeze back in 2002, should know better than to expect wins like they obviously were. Looking good on paper is one thing, but you still have to actually play the games.

At least the umpires were making a concerted effort at getting the calls right. For that, I'm grateful. At least the Jeffrey Maier spectre won't hang over that.

I have to give the umpires a big thumbs up for the calls they made last night. I had a few problems with the homepale umpire's strike zone but he called it the same for all the pitchers so it really didn't matter in the long run.
Tonight is going to be interesting. Baseball, Smallville, Lost and West Wing. Thank goodness for multiple cable boxes and VCRs. I just hope no one (including the fans) gets hurt tonight.
