SPORTING GOODS

If I had a nickel for every time the following scenario has occurred to me, I'd be able to buy season tickets ...

So I finally turn on the Sox game last night around 8:30 after seeing by My Yahoo! that the Sox are up, 2-1 in the sixth inning, so I'm thinking they might actually beat the Cal Angels. The first pitch—THE FIRST PITCH!!!—I see Casey Kotchman hits into the bullpen (see photo), putting the Angels up, 3-2. The rest of the inning is comparable: The Angels score four more runs, Dice-K is long gone, and any plans I have of watching the Sox compete in a close game are defunct. (So, what do you think of the Angels now, Dan?)

I'm convinced that the Sox should pay me not to watch their games. Or, as the saying goes, sometimes paranoia's just having all the facts.
