The exhilaration of checking a score when you’ve missed the game can really get your heart racing. I usually try to get the box score without seeing the final and then slowly move my hand across inning by inning. I just hate the sudden shock of seeing they lost.

On the flip side, I can remember listening at work to the Yankees losing 6-2 in the ninth to the Indians, abandoning the game to go home and then being absolutely shocked when I hear Arod hit a walk-off three run homer.

My mom wrote down something I said when I was five and showed it to me years later – that meant a lot to me.

Oh speaking of these thing “…”

My 6 year old son just learned what an ellipse was. Told me it means that there’s more to come on the next page. So I was chasing him around the park last night and he was doing his best play by play – “Daddy gets close to Lukie. But Lukie pulls away at the last moment. Too bad! Ellipse!” Friggn hysterical.

Picking up on Jon’s thread. I don’t hate Pavano so long as he’s not Kenny Rogers in 2006.

I remember one game when they came back and won in the 9th, maybe last year, when the phone read 1-2 9th, refresh, then 3-2 F. Yee ha.
