My roommate is out for the night, so I am enjoying a quiet night at home. But I’m not sure about how quiet it will stay because I’m watching Game 1 of the ALDS with the Red Sox and California/Anaheim/ Los Angeles Angels. My first major league game was in 1975 with these two teams at Fenway Park in Boston. I’ve been hearing the smack from the loudmouthed Yankee fan at work. He has been bad mouthing the Sox out of ignorance. It’s one thing to have blind passion for your team, but when a Yankee fan still thinks his team is the best in baseball, and that the pitching staff is the best, surely they are living in a fantasy world. The guy doesn’t think and he’s easy to get going. Drop a line about the Yankees not winning the division or the Yankee pitching staf giving up at least 20 runs to Baltimore, and he is off and running. It’s fun to get him going. Granted, the exchange is heated but it’s friendly.
The menu tonight was a chicken sausage with apple, and red beans and rice. Please, no healthy eating diatribes. You should have seen the size of the salad I consumed last night. It all evens out in the end. Add to it a cold hefeweizen and it’s a meal made in heaven, or New Orleans..it’s all the same.
I thought I would drop a quick post, just to get things on track. I like to be home around 5pm, make some dinner and relax. Last night I visited some friends on the coast and that was great. A relaxing night by the ocean, can’t get better.
Back to the game I go. As of this post: bottom of the 7th Boston 4 Angels 0. GO SOX!!
