after all the years i spent defending “manny being manny”…  he just went over the top this season.  my breaking point?  when he stood with his bat on his shoulder and took three straight stikes from mariano rivera.

theo is funny ha ha, though…  instead of trading him to florida — where manny lives and would be “comfortable” — he trades him to los freakin’ angeles!  HA HA HA HA!!  brilliant!  enjoy your “peace”…

alison and i returned home from a weekend upstate JUST in time to watch the bosox take on the yankees. on our new tv. in hd.

it was the first sporting event we watched in hd.

and with 160+ games in the baseball season, we certainly do not watch a ton of baseball…

the bosox, however, decided to celebrate our hd-ness by belting out 4, that’s right FOUR, homeruns IN A ROW! it has only happened TWICE in the last ~40 years and we saw it live!

very cool.

mike lowell hit another homer later in the game to seal the the win…

i feel bad for chase wright (the yankees minor leaguer making his second start with the “big” club), but at least his name SOUNDS like he’s a professional athelete. ;-P
