Today in Sports!

[livejournal.com profile] quasisonic and I discuss the ALCS:

Me: I knew we weren't going to sweep, so I'm trying to be reasonable about this. Trying.

[livejournal.com profile] quasisonic: Glad you're being reasonable. But it did suck, though.

Me: It did suck, and Girardi made some genuinely boneheaded moves. But Tonight is another game, y/y?

[livejournal.com profile] quasisonic: Didn’t he like, put in a pitcher and take him right out again? Tonight IS another game. No doubt the loss will fire them up!

Me: I didn’t really watch after Dad texted me on my ride home that it was tied 3-3. THEY HAD A THREE RUN LEAD AND…Never mind, breathing now. I’m of the opinion that Marte should be a last-ditch, worst-case,we-have-no-other-option dude. Instead, they put him in during a point where holding on to a lead was CRUCIAL, something better suited to Phil Hughes. OR, if Andy couldn’t make 6 innings, Joba, then Hughes, then Mo. YOU KNOW, THE PATENTED FORMULA THAT WORKED SINCE THE FRIGGING ALL STAR BREAK!!!?!?!?!?!?

[livejournal.com profile] quasisonic: Easy now, dear. I wonder what Girardi was thinking?

Me: I know what he was thinking: “I love scotch. Scotchy scotch scotch. Yum yum yum.”

*********
Onward to game four!!! I have class tonight, so hopefully dad and twitter will keep me up to date on the game as it happens.

You know, the thing I keep coming back to, though, was that if we were hitting with runners on, we wouldn't have been in extra innings to begin with.

Oh, you and your logic.

Which is to say, yes. *sigh* Last night was a bad night for NY sports all around, wasn't it?

Which is fine, because TONIGHT is not last night.

I know, it's a tremendous failing.

EPIC SHENANIGANS. Not the good kind.

YES. This is it exactly. To all my boys in blue (NYY, NYR, NYG): FIX IT.

No, it's just an endangered species these days.

SERIOUSLY.

Now is the time for acts to be gotten together, y/y?!

(your icon. I wantses it.)

So true. I sigh.

Acts totally need to be gotten together.

(Take it, you have my blessing. *g*)

I sigh as well. And turn my sights to 8pm. Forward!

They really, really do. But my boys have a way when they get annoyed and frustrated. I'm hoping for some locker-room pep talking goodness. I will totally go to Dillon and get Coach Taylor if I have to. You know I will.

(Marvelous! Many thanks. All of these new Yankee icons are spectacular, I must say. But I've always been a fan. *g*)
