Hoping that the Sox don't pay D Price tonight and go down losing game 2.

I do not have cable, and I see tonight's game is on TBS again. I'll fire up AM radio on the old stereo system and listen to play by play while watching Major League Baseball's box score web site. Reminds me of the 1960s when I learned to love baseball, with a bit of 21st Century tossed in. It does not mean much to be the champion when your opponents were not worthy. Therefore, I'll make two comments to help the Bean Town Boys. Do not antagonize the umpires. Do not throw baseballs at the umpires. If you cannot handle the stress of Game 2, the Patriots are playing on Sunday Night Football.

Not an easy task.

I believe we have ourselves a series.
I also believe I just set a new record for "Bouncing Back And Forth" while watching TV.
GO RED SOX
PATS losing 33-30

I am putting aside stats, odds, mathematical probabilities and what remains of my frontal lobe and I'm going with my liver on this.

Lucky I checked start time , 5:09 PM EST.
They tried to fool me, but it didn't work because I am a smarty pants.
Maybe I'll watch the second game, cheering for the Milwaukee Braves, Is Warren pitching tonight?

The Red Sox really needed to win tonight in order to bring this series back to Boston, and they did.
Next two games in Houston are going to be difficult for the Sox to win, but possible.

On to the next game with Joe Torre behind the plate.
Note: It is very easy to eat half a Cherry pie.

I just got tired of watching carpy baseball. If this "swing for the fences regardless of everything" is the new norm then I may just be done with baseball. All I'd have left is golf.

I'm glad I stayed up for this one. Solid defense by both teams and both catchers called good games. 2 to 1 after 13 is about as much stress as I could handle. Entertainment par excellence!
Onward MacDuff!
tis but a scratch.

It was a good game until the eighth and the Astros pitching caved in. I still love this team!

These two teams are good enough for it to go to Game 7 and still be a toss up. That will sell lots of $6 hot dogs and $10 beer, making it good for the economy!

I blinked!
Wiley had just taken the mound for the Brewers when my doorbell rang. UPS delivered our new phones.
I go back to the tv and Wiley's beard had turned red!
Yanked after 5 pitches.
Bathroom be damned! I'm not moving until it's over.
PS: I'm rooting for any team that doesn't have a player named Machado.

JBJ's Grand Slam was every bit as big as Ortiz in 2013, or JD Drew in 2007.
The Red Sox and Alex Cora are the real deal.

I bet those come with Pie out of the box. I bought a Moto X4 last month and all I have is Oreo. I've been promised Pie by January of next year. I run cheap phones on a cheap cell service; but they work for me.
