It’s Playoff Time!!!
I wanted to start this blog with one of the cutest videos I have seen in a while. I am a HUGE animal lover, especially dogs, and this video is priceless. It’s amazing how smart Beagles, or at least this one is. I want to buy a dog so bad!! I miss my pug that I used to have, he was the best.
Well, it’s playoff time and I just got done watching the White Sox lose the first game in Tampa Bay 6-4. I guess I am not that upset, the Sox had a crazy schedule with 3 must win games just to get to the playoffs and the Rays have the best record in all of baseball at home. Hopefully, the Sox can steal one game in Tampa and then bring it home. The game showed another crappy performance from Javier Vaszquez who seems to be in some incredible funk lately and can’t seem to keep the ball down and in the zone at the same time. When a rookie (Evan Longoria) gets consecutive home runs off you, it is time to take a break and rest that arm.
On a lighter note, I find myself watching the Cubs this year as well, just to see them lose. I laughed my butt of watching them drop game one at home. The funny part is, if the Sox get swept, I won’t be that upset because they weren’t suppossed to do much this year, AND they lost Carlos Quentin, the Cubs on the other hand (this is their year)!!! 100 years without a world series, a great team, all the Chicago love!!! HA!! I hate Cub fans. I would have paid good money to be a fly on the wall at Wrigley last night and if they lose today, wow. I found myself just watching ESPN highlights, just to look in the stands and see the reactions of the fans as that grand slam went out. Yes, I guess I have unresolved anger issues, but who cares, I hope the Cubs get swept and all those fans will spend another year crying in their beers, cursing Bartman and that dumb goat. Get over it you blue wearing snobs, your team just sucks.
On a serious note for those watching baseball and football during this time of year. Drink responsibly. Just because I have given up drinking, by no means am I preaching that the rest of the world does, but driving drunk is the dumbest thing you can do. Unfortunately, I have, got caught, and am paying for it. Luckily, I didn’t hurt anyone, or myself, but if I had, who knows where I would be now. I wouldn’t have been able to live with myself. For the record, people do not drive better drunk, .08 is only 4 beers for a normal person, and there is NO WAY to beat the breathalizer. The air comes from your lungs and the alcohol passing through your lung tissue and being registered in your breath. Getting caught, just driving, forget hitting anything or one, will cost you. If by any chance you do get in any legal trouble, DUI or otherwise, I have a link to my attorney. VERY GOOD!!! But the best way to get out of trouble is to stay out of it completely. Be safe everyone, and Go SOX!!!
