Excited State of Boredom
I'm "watching" Game 5 of the ALCS (Yankees/Red Sox) at work, on my computer, via ESPN.com. And I'm both stifling jubilation and shocked at how unbelievably bored I am.
We're going into the bottom of the second inning now. BoSox 2, Yankees 1. It's so early yet. If this game is as long as the one played last night, I will be home and finished with dinner before the game is over. Baseball is funny like that.
Sometimes it is over real fast (like the Yankees in the top half of the first two innings), and sometimes it takes forever (like the Sox in the bottom of the first).
The relay of information is both fast and slow too. Driving me nuts. I'm watching it in two different windows, and neither is consistently getting the faster update. It's really hit or miss, requiring a switch between windows at random. If only I could make my screen bigger I could solve this annoyance.
Just imagine what this would be like if I were actually a Yankee or Red Sox fan, instead of just a conscientious objector to the Yankees winning yet another pennant. Besides, the "team everyone loves to hate" that I like is the Lakers.
In my defense, I was brought up in Southern California, loving Chick Hearn calling the Lakers games. I missed most of Magic's hey-day, but I do remember the press conference, and watching him play in the 1992 All-Star Game while at my great-grandfather's house. My favorite role-playing Lakers are Byron Scott, Eddie Jones, Nick Van Exel (despite the ref incident), Derek Fisher, and Kareem Rush. I like three-point shooting. TeeHee. Reggie Miller is such a pimp.
Anyway. While I was writing that, the Sox went down 1-2-3 in the bottom of the 2nd. Continuing my rant.
Vin Scully is a voice of Southern California sports too. THE voice of the Dodgers. At least I think he still is, man wouldn't that be sad? Dodger Dogs, and Foster Farms wouldn't be the same without him. I used to be a Dodger fan. Then they traded Mike Piazza, and I said, "To hell with you guys." I've not forgiven them yet, I'm only slowly letting baseball back into my home. Basketball is A#1 for me at the moment. The season starts up soon, yay! And the Nuggets will be decent this year, so Fox Sports Net won't be a total waste to watch. Melo! Kenyon! Nene! Shorty! and more.
Th-th-that's all folks.
