So much for the vaunted hot streak: the Sox owned the Rockies 13-1 tonight. Beckett started by striking out the side and as he did, I began to think "Hm, that right there is an attractive man!" for some reason. Was it the giant ass-whomping he was unleashing on our World Series rivals? Yeah, that was pretty much it. Anyway, after Commander Kick Ass signaled his continued dominant playoff presence we went into the bottom of the 1st and Dustin Pedroia smashed a homer right off the Green Monster. That kicked off a flurry of Red Sox offense that basically didn't stop until it was far too late. The Rockies came unglued. They walked 3 runs in! According to a fan Twittering live from Fenway Park, it got so bad that even the Fenway fans booed the runs being walked in. Where does that happen? We truly entered bizarro land. Well, if Giuliani can be a Red Sox fan I guess the Red Sox fans can support their competition. Go figure.
This is some way to kick off the World Series. I will not complain one bit. But Game 1 was Game 1 and we hit the reset button for Game 2. It could be a totally different scene the next time those teams meet up. I will probably be watching from the bar with my crazy calligraphy friends like last week. There will be beer, friends and baseball (and fish and chips! and wings!). Should be fun.
Now I will leave you with something else bizarre to cap off this strange day. My friend's hosting a big sushi party at her house next month and she's going all out with the event planning, queuing up YouTube videos to show on the wall as we scarf down the tasty treats. She sent me this tonight, saying quite simply that it was "f***ed up." I lived in Japan so you'd think I'd have some sort of explanation for this. And I love sushi to boot. But no, this is just f***ed up. Enjoy it for all its bizarreness: NHK's Sushi Picnic.
