News from all over
So last night our heroes feel behind in their series against the Cleveland Indians (whom I find very hard to hate) 2 games to 1. I did not have the opportunity to comment on the 5-hour-plus game 2 on Saturday night, and, well, I don't really feel like it now. Last night wasn't a blow out, so I don't feel too bad about our chances really, it just would have been nice to make a statement in our first game at "the Jake" ... Anyhow, game 4 is tonight, we have Wakefield going and hopefully the weather will favor the knuckleball - and we need to get runs early, score first & make the Tribe play catch-up against us. Also, it'd be nice if Wakefield could go 8 innings so we don't have to eat into our bullpen.
I plan to grill chicken tonight on our George Foreman grill while Missy convinces the Coco Crisp and Julio Lugo to get on base more, telepathically (which, of course, neither of us accept as metaphysically true).
Also, a joint Argentinean-Brazilian team of scientists have announced the discovery of a new titanosaur (sauropod) from Patagonia - an 105-foot-long plant-eater dubbed Futalognkosaurus dukei, that lived in the late Cretaceous Period (around 87 million years ago). Its genus name means "giant chief lizard".

... Oh and the Colorado Rockies won the NLCS last night, & will go to the World Series for the first time in Franchise history. They've also won an unprecedented 21 of their last 22 games, so it's surprising that I don't really care all that much, you know? ...
