No Time To Bask

So, as of Sunday night, the Red Sox....are going to the World Series! I have no time to bask in this joy though, for reasons I really can't mention right now (other than school work and things). But, I'll be able to talk about it next week, for those of you who care (annnnnd that would be no one!). Anyway, yeah. So the Sox beat the Indians in 7 games, man. It was tough watching that game at first, but then I started making food and I wasn't really paying attention until my roommate started getting upset. I suppose she and her boyfriend are either both Indians fans, or they just felt like rooting against Boston. Either way, serves them right :) Everyone from here to Timbuktu knows I'm a die-hard Sox fan, but I was quite reserved as I saw the game come to a close. I did call my parents and some friends who could've cared less, and I did shed a little tear, but other than that...nada. Don't have time for celebrations, dawg. I have an extremely difficult paper due Monday on Emile Durkheim or something, I think I have an Italian test this Friday (maybe I should find that out?), UNC's Homecoming is next week (and guess who's on the staff?), and my 21st birthday is next Saturday. I'm broke as hell. Scratch that. I'm broke down in general. My life is in shambles. My job sucks. I know it'll get better, and hopefully it'll start with the Sox winning Game 1 of the Series tonight...if there is a game.

Heels Back On Top....Sorta

Well, so uh...my Tar Heels are back at the College World Series finals against the Oregon State Beavers. As you may well remember, we came like, one defensive play away from winning it all. Tear, sniff. It's a new year, though. I've been watching the guys (Heels) since the Super Regionals or whatever you call it and they've had me on edge basically the entire time. Can't knock their hustle though, because they always seem to find ways to win. I know, being a student at UNC I should know basically everything there is to know about basketball, baseball, and women's soccer right? WRONG. I barely know shit about NCAA baseball man, because that just isn't my forte. Don't get me wrong, I know some stuff. For instance, pitcher Adam Warren? Yeah, I went to elementary, middle, and high school with him in the great city/town of New Bern, NC, ha ha. Dead serious. Outfielder Reid Fronk is a very attractive young man. Andrew Miller, pitcher for the Tigers, played for us last year. And that's basically where my knowledge ends, whew! Yeah, so I'm ready for this Game 1 and I hope the series turns out a LOT better than it did last season.

The Rocket Blasts Off...Again

The Rocket, facing the Pittsburgh Pirates, got his first win in pinstripes since 2003 yesterday afternoon. And excuse me for being such a meanie, but I honestly didn't care. I mean, what else is new? Clemens proved to the world that he still "got it" at age 45, or however old he is. What's more important is the fact that I went to Victoria's Secret yesterday and the cashier undercharged me. Did I complain? Of course not! I hightailed it outta there as fast as I could. Yeah, I know. The ethical thing to do would've been to go back and tell her, but yeah. I'm sure she'll be alright. The Bosox almost swept the D-Backs, but Dice-K took the L in a duel against Randy Johnson. Sorry to say, but I had Unit coming out on top all the way. Correct me if I'm wrong, and I know it's still early, but I don't really think Dice-K is living up to all the hype the media created for him. Am I right? I'm always right, ha ha. I was a little upset with the media being all over David Wright's nuts at first, but now that he's breaking out of his 2007 shell, I don't mind it as much. Time for tidbits!

**Scott Podsednik is still not off the D.L. Lemme repeat that: Scotty Pods is still not off the Disabled List. He's been up there since about April or so. I'm not really sure what's wrong with him, but I sure could use him on my fantasy team again.

**Chad Tracy still isn't off the D.L. either, and he was batting .312 for one of my teams.

**I'm sitting here watching the Braves/Cubs game (only because there's nothing else left to watch) and Ted Lilly just got tossed in the first inning. I'm so serious right now. He plunked Edgar Renteria so Jim Wolf tossed his ass. I think that was a little much, but whatever. I'm not the ump.

**Andrew Miller, pitcher for the Tigers who used to play for my school (UNC, baby!) got his second win of the season against Tom Glavine and the Mets. Go Drew, baby!

**I'm really struggling in my Statistics class right now. I feel like giving up, but I'm not going to. I don't have the word perseverance tattooed on my wrist for nothin' :) Yeah, that's pretty much all for this time. I'm about to go heat up this leftover Bojangles, edit my essay, and call it a night.
