SOX and RAWK and GIN
Monday night - Great SOX game. Incredible vibe there. Seeing the park full on a Monday night is something I am not used to, to be sure. Combine 1/2 price Monday, with a crap-ass economy, the cubs on an east coast trip and a beauiful night in the best summer city in the world and you have all the ingrediants for a great night for baseball.
We parked way far away from CoMINSKY Field. Those who know, know that the further away you park, sketchier are the venders you see on the way to the game. Lot of low-rent cub bashing, including a t-shirt of the President giving Wrigley Field the finger. The vender barked out, "Obama says F the Cubs!"
The boy smacked his own forehead and shook his head, saying "D'oh!"
We saw an inside the park homer from Carl Crawford. When it banged off the wall and Crawford turned on the boosters the boy and I were acually saying "Go! Go!" I don't feel so bad because the day after the game, even Ozzie said it was an exciting play. Not too many inside-the-parkers are going to be hit in the South Side park. You have to play the ball pretty badly to do that.
SOX fans can't be too hard on Scottie. He was on base four times on Monday and really helped make the offense go, right from the first inning. It was like the first half of 05 all over again.
Got home uber late but still got up @ the regular time for work. Tuesday was sort of a drag at work...got some sad news. Met Dev in Elgin. I had enough voice left to finish two vocal overdubs. Devin threw down some great parts and just like the rest of this project...we were pretty much on the same page with a few welcome surprises.
Closed the Annex. Worked my ass off and stayed unnecessarily sober the past few days. The gin and tonics hit the spot, the spot being my head.
