Page 49 of War and Peace
A few things I learned tonight watching a Jays/Sox game and highlights from a massive red coloured man dance in Cincinnati.
Wonderful weekends of baseball don't erase the annoyance that is playing the Red Sox.
Jerry Howarth is sometimes HILARIOUS "John McDonald, after getting to page 49 of War and Peace, finally asks for time." I think part of Dice K's arsenal is to lull the hitter into a trance.
Sometimes fans scream things that are true. "THROW THE BAAAAAAAAAAAAAALL" one fan pleaded with Dice-K. Seriously. Random thoughts from SOSH: "Dice-K sucks all the enjoyment out of watching a baseball game." Word.
Travis Snider is very, very, very strong. He one-armed a ball 400 feet. His homer was real pretty, too.
Arencibia went 0-4, but threw a very fast Jacoby Ellsbury out from his knees in the 3rd, after both Tabler and Martinez declared it impossible. Random observation from SOSH: "Wow, so that's what it's like to have a competent defensive catcher?" So much word.
I don't really examine SOSH too closely when the Sox win, but they argued pretty vehemently that Ellsbury was safe ("The umps just guess.") But then one of them checked the video, and confirmed Ellsbury was out and they all went back to wishing Dice K could be deported.
Dustin Parkes thinks Scott Rolen is a douche. No, he's not a douche. A douche is a loud mouthed idiot. Rolen's an asshole. And that's why I kind of like him. And Rolen is so much more fun to enjoy as a fan than ARod and Youkilis, and if you can't see why, you are so lost. Walk towards the light.
Scott Rolen hates it when Chris Carpenter talks shit about Dusty Baker. During their rumble, in which Rolen muscled Carpenter to the backstop netting, I remembered that Rolen and Carpenter were teammates. And also both were Jays Let's rearrange this a bit. Imagine Troy Glaus muscling Doc to the backstop after Doc mouthed off at Bobby Cox. Did I just blow your mind?
Chris Carpenter felt the need to lecture his short stop for delaying play when he had to switch gloves. Yes, it's annoying, but it's the first inning and Carpenter got out of it cleanly. Maybe chill out and not lecture a teammate for 30 seconds like he's a disobedient child.
Ricky Romero had a lot to follow up on, not only Morrow's out of this world performance but his own total dominance of the Yankees in his previous start. Ricky was not sharp. Not sharp.
Papelbon has added a weird wide smile thing to his already weird mouth purse this he does. Why are you stretching your face before throwing a pitch?
The Red Sox have owned the Jays this season, but it's been a sort of strange owning. Several one run losses, and tonight's by two.
The Jays are much, much better looking.
