so coworker l comes by to let us know there's an ice cream bar in the courtyard. and we're down five-zip to the ROYALS. so i go outside, sit back in the sun with a bowl of ice cream, and enjoy the sunshine.

and then i come back in and varitek's hit his first grand slam ever and we're up 9-5.

clearly, this is a mandate from god that i have to eat ice cream whenever the sox are losing. (bitty, you're still not allowed to watch them, though. ;) )

Yeah, I've resisted all temptation to watch.

It's been sad that we've been having t *work* to beat the Royals. Our pitching is so bad that only our batting and their [5 in one game?!?!?!?!?] errors still give us the win.

[ursamajor]

yeah, pitching's been kinda disastrous lately. *facepalm*

Gah! I come home and open boston.com and... the game's not over yet! It's 10-8! WTF!
*sob*
WE'RE PLAYING THE WORST TEAM IN BASEBALL, FOLKS! IT SHOULDN'T BE THIS DIFFICULT.
*sigh*

Ahhh, it's August.
As a Yankees fan I love August and September.
Except last year, that sucked.

*ducks again knowing this time I AM gonna get it*

I love the Kansas City and the Royals. Where else can you show up at 1:15 for a 1:30 game and get seats right between home and first base for $20?

It's cuz they are a minor league team.

*ducks*

A guy in my office said to send Manny there, to see what playing in an empty stadium is like. Sigh $20 tickets to a game. You make a girl dream.

ooh, can we? can we really?

... oh, wait, the manny mythos would still precede him, and there'd be some crowds there just to watch what stunt he was gonna pull this time. you'd have to give him enough time there for it not to be a one-off, for the novelty to wear off. then, maybe ...

It's sadly true. Back when Ewing Kaufmann owned the team, the Royals were actually a powerhouse that won World Series.

But since then, they've been owned by a charitable trust and David Glass of Wal-Mart, neither of whom have provided any sort of leadership.

On the bright side, they have a gorgeous park. And they do have plenty of barbeque there! I'm contemplating a visit next year just for the BBQ and cheap baseball.

Oddly,

God, in his ever wise wisdom, wants it to be so, so bear your ice-cream eating burden with resolve and patience! ;)
