next postDamn You Baseball, Let Me Sleep
All week I have been telling myself I am going to turn in early. But each night I tuned in the various baseball championship playoff games. First the lure of whether the Redsox could actually come back from three games down to force a 7th and deciding game. Then could the Redsox actually win game 7 and take that first step toward breaking "The Curse". Even with the 10-3 blowout Sox win last night I had to watch it. I kept expecting the Babe himself to come out of the dugout and start smacking homeruns out of the park. So I watched the whole game last night.
Tonight I find myself glued to the Houston vs St. Louis Game 7. I need to know whether
the Marauders Roger Clemens can carry the Houston Astros past the Murderers' Row like St. Louis lineup. Will Clemens in some weird twist of fate be facing the Redsox in the Series? Or will the Redsox have to figure out a way to shutdown this St. Louis version of Murderer's Row? The game is too close to call at this point. I want to goto sleep but I have to know. Seventh inning stretch, time to stretch and get ready for the thrilling end.

The playoffs have been rough on me also. Nothing like avoiding radio , phone calls and general conversation with people in an attempt to elude the baseball scores, because I am working while they are playing. Baseball on Tivo at 3 am is excellent, but all those extra innings have me staying up well pass the start of Regis & Kelly!

The elementary school teachers had problems this past week too in the greater Boston area. It seems the kids where neither attentive or had their homework done.
Most of the kids were up late with their parents watching the Red Sox make their historic comeback against their arch nemesis, the Yankees.
Go Red Sox!
