SACRIFICE?
Sometime after my fifth drink on Saturday, I realized that every year that one of my squads did not win a fantasy baseball championship the Red Sox made the playoffs. With two weeks to play, it appears that I will not win in any league this season. (Of course, I have analyzed why I did not win; I am a numbers geek. No need to get into the details, but basically, I did not anticipate needing over 72 points to win in a 88 possible point league.) So it looks good for the Sox at least off the field.
For my fourth straight trip to Fenway, I found a free parking spot yesterday and as many of you probably guessed that was the highlight of day. I am skipping over the game because it liked sucked.
On my way home to Vermont, I needed to stop at Best Buy to pick up a card for the cable modem coming tomorrow. I was planning on breaking my word and purchasing Madden 2004 and the internet attachment, since I would not be subject to sales tax in New Hampshire. (Hum, Live Free or Die? How about just Free?) I proclaimed earlier that I was not going to play Madden until the end of the Sox season. Now, it looks like I won’t be having thumb pain and blurred vision until November - my next scheduled trip through the Granite State. Best Buy in Manchester closes at six on Sunday. The silver Saturn pulled in at 6:16 EST according to the clock on radio/CD player. This is another omen that the Sox will make the second season.
BTW, did anyone catch K Street on HBO? It is pretty on! I highly recommend checking it out. Next Monday after the second episode, I’ll review the first one. I do not want to ruin it for anyone. Okay, just one tidbit. I found out that Howard Dean stole the “then Trent Lott would be Martin Luther King” line from James Carville when answering how he would relate to African-American voters coming from Vermont. The line was funnier coming out of Carville's mouth.
