A Few Random Notes
Warning: this is really stupid stuff that no one cares about but me.
- On Sunday, a day that signifies "new life", one of my sisters repented from darkness to become an ex-yankee fan. I am proud to announce that she has converted to the Mets. (*cough* front-runner *cough, cough*) Her reasoning, as she told me, "I've decided that I'm too much a fan of the underdog to remain loyal to the yankees."
- Last night the bro-in-law (different sis) sent me this link, proudly announcing that he is "good friends" with the man who owns the red sox lineup card from game four of the 2004 World Series. Well maybe he'll buy it for his daughter, who was born that day and will surely want an extensive collection of red sox memorabilia. Oh, that's right, his friend Sky is not effin' likely to sell that card to a yankee fan.
- Last night Jere told me that the game was on ESPN2. (Not that I was going to switch from Don & Remy on Extra Innings) I checked, and I was getting the New England feed: ESPN News. Once again, Fairfield County is double-screwed. But compared to some people, I'm apparently lucky: Pat, (Jere's 10-game plan partner) lives in Danbury and has Comcast. He has NESN, but the games are blacked out because Danbury is in Fairfield County. However, because most of the Comcast territory in the state is outside of FC, sox games are blacked out by Comcast in the Extra Innings package. Pat is double-screwed. Since he is forced to go to the bar for his sox games, maybe he has grounds to sue Comcast for any future alcoholism issues?

So to clarify, even if you get Extra Innings in Danbury, you don't get the Sox because you're in New England, hence it's blacked out, which would be correct except that that PART of New England ISN'T ALLOWED TO GET NESN ANYWAY. It's horrible. Was sweet to be in NYC last night and have the Sox on 2 different channels!
Also, doesn't that make sister one the epitome of a yankee fan--to switch over to the Mets when they have a better record?

ooh thanks, jere, I was just correcting that when I saw your comment.
And about the sis (who is actually #3 in my family) in concept I would agree, but I really don't think that's the case with her. i think she just has come to like the Mets since her hubby likes them and always has them on. sista3 has always been easily swayed.

Consumate Bandwagoner!
Then, again, last year @ Shea, I met a guy who switched because he realized what a Roid Using Cheat Giambi is, as well as Sheffield.

& when FOX 61 is carrying "FOX Saturday Baseball" they go with the yankees, leaving Fairfield County, Triply-Screwed.
I thought about mentioning that, too, michael. Jere and I were expressing amazement the other night that FOX 61 has the nerve to advertise on NESN (via our extra innings feeds)
