the season stops here
i had to watch.
i couldn't help myself.
even from 3,267 miles away (which is, as i just found out, using this handy distance converter, 5,258 kilometers)... i tuned in on my laptop to the "Gameday" feature on the redsox site and watched, slowly, pitch by painful pitch, the eternal-underdog-even-though-they're-the-defending-world-champion boston red sox go down in the last game of their season, losing 3 straight games to the chicago white sox.
well, i am a little numb, but tonight we put the 2005 season to bed.
162 games. that's a lot of games.
just 2 in the post-season. that's boondoggle.
or maybe it's just crap.
or maybe i am just BITTER!!!!
or maybe i've gotten a little used to boston area teams winning these last couple years, and i need to take a chill.
ok. since we're onto numbers tonight, let's look at it another way.
the red sox had the best average in all major league baseball (that's funny: the "best average"), hitting .281 for the season.
they had the best on base percentage, at .357 (whatever that means).
they had the most walks, at 653, and the most RBIs (863), the most runs (910), the most hits (1579), and the most double-baggers (339).
in fact, if you add ALL their stats TOGETHER, they had like 20,886.419 of EVERYTHING COMBINED..... pitching included (though to be brutally honest, i sorta wish we could have excluded their pitching from their season this year). yeah, in fact, in retrospect, they kicked some serious butt!!
those Soxies are still winners in my book.

.....ok, now it's that time of the show where we unveil the...
CRAZY SITE OF THE DAY
!!Advance warning: this site is not for children!!
Big Carp pictures from around the world
i think my favorite is Marco from Croatia, and i quote: "Catch and release,it's a great feeling for you and for the fish too"
i am not sure how it is that so many of the photos seem to be nowhere near a body of water.
in fact, looking all those men standing in the backwaters of the world holding all those big fish makes me a bit queasy.
oh well, happy fishing. (my dinner was grilled chicken tonight, w/mac & cheese & broccoli. yum.)
