    I just feel like, after 108 years, ESPN would know how big this is and not cut away like that. 

    "ESPN would know"  LOL

    Come on. You know the rules for no-hitters in progress. YOU SAY NOTHING.  No "whispers" - just "Hey something happening in this game." You uttered the words "perfect innings."   "You know what'd be perfect? A game that doesn't go extra innings" is even pushing it. 

    PS- Yeah here's where I have to agree with mojoween. Frickin Longoria. 

    PS2- Rules for no-hitters.

    I recently got a great "offer" for a trip to the Westin Resort on Maui for only $800 for six nights/five days as long as I sit through a 120 minute informational session on rental opportunities. 

    Some friends of mine did the "info session" slog a few years ago. They said it was worth the trip. (They're in Spain right now.) And yeah, Pixel's in Hawaii without our permission! How dare she.

    All that Red Sox sickness sounds horrible, did none of them get a flu shot this off season. 

    I follow a variety of journalists assigned to report on the Sox on twitter. (Of course.) From what I understand the team had their shots last fall. It started at the end of spring training- Mitch Moreland and three coaches got ill but were told to stay away. 

    But, ya know, Mother Nature and all.

    Pop Quiz hot-shots. Which story does NOT belong on the front page of MLB.com?

    The Pirates now officially have the best between inning entertainment. 

    That looks exhausting. I'd need a beer and a dog or two after that much running around. 

    All I want for April is for 25 healthy Red Sox players.

    Well, life's on a farm is kinda laid back,
    ain't much an old country boy like me can't hack.
    It's early to rise, early in the sack thank God I'm a country boy.
    Well, a simple kind of life never did me no harm,
    raising me a family and working on the farm.
    My days are all filled with an easy country charm, thank God I'm a country boy.
    Well, I got me a fine wife, I got me old fiddle.
    When the sun's coming up, I got cakes on the griddle.
    And life ain't nothing but a funny, funny riddle, thank God I'm a country boy.

    When the work's all done and the sun's setting low,
    I pull out my fiddle and I rosin up the bow.
    The kids are asleep so I keep it kinda low, thank God I'm a country boy.
    I'd play Sally Gooding all day if I could,
    but the lord and my wife wouldn't take it very good.
    So I fiddle when I can and I work when I should, thank God I'm a country boy.
    Well, I got me a fine wife, I got me old fiddle.

    Now I'm not the O's fan, I've only picked up that they use the first part of the song. Do they go longer in the song sometimes???

    Because the next part...

    I wouldn't trade my life for diamonds or jewels,
    I never was one of them money hungry fools.
    I'd rather have my fiddle and my farming tools, thank God I'm a country boy.
    Yeah, city folk driving in a black limousine,
    a lotta sad people thinking that's-a mighty keen.
    Son, let me tell you now exactly what I mean, thank God I'm a country boy.

    MMMmm Hmmm. I'm just sayin' - that's all. Of course I cheer for a team that plays Neil Diamond and then a song about 1960s-era bad water, so what do I know?

    @jennifer6973 : Three teams? WTH?  I understand the two-team theory of "The Red Sox, and whoever's playing the Yankees" but please enlighten us to your three-team theory of cheering.

     At least Stephen A. was making sense about this nonsense.

    Stephen A making sense? I mean, I bailed on watching ESPN years ago. But I'm shocked.

    Pfffffft.  I can do the math.  Funny you bring it up, because I don't remember anything Of note occurring at the end of the 2004 season.  Far as I can recall, baseball just stopped before the ALCS.

    Don't tempt me to post the few hundred YT links/videos of the Gloriousness of October 2004 @mojoween!  "Anything of note"  HA!  
    In honor of opening day, I watched videos of the 2005, 2008 & 2014 opening day "unfurling the banners."

    It was just delicious karma that the Red Sox opened 2005 against the Yankees in Fenway. There was no way Red Sox fans could have bribed the scheduler to create such a glorious day.

    Bob talking as the ham "Just glaze me and get it over with" - just like when he "talks" as the turkeys at Thanksgiving.

    "If you die in the wall, we'll name the restaurant after you."   -?? Ah, the mind of Tina.

    Death Chicken after talking about dogs? Inconceivable! 

    Two friends of mine in the great state of MA said they got snow - one to six inches. It seemed wrong to write them that the sun and blooming here is killing my eyes. I need more allergy eyedrops.

    The Goldbergs in the Media: That's Incredible!

    in The Goldbergs

    The Goldbergs were at WonderCon. My favorite part is Real Life Barry got a chance to "correct" a wrong:

    Quote

     

    With the panel winding down, Goldberg acknowledged his brother Barry as the family member who takes the most punishment every week, with the series’ depiction of their youth. In the room for the panel, with the crowd chanting his name, the real “Big Tasty” got to answer a question: What was the one thing his brother had depicted on the show that had embarrassed him the most?

    “The run,” Barry Goldberg said, referencing the onscreen Barry (Troy Gentile)’s awkward form. “I just want to say for the record, I do not run like that.”

    This is the NFL's outrage scale in ascending order of outrage:  DUI, DV without video, DV with video, murder for hire, kneeling during the National Anthem.

    You forgot: Fighting in a club, Car stop by police, Car stop by police with a gun /drug in the car, spiking a TD "inappropriately," wearing the wrong socks/ shoes, elbow grease, black eye with a message, underwear with an unapproved logo.  

    Also, If the grass was mowed "wrong," Lack of private corporate boxes, Not marking up soft drinks 1000%, What constitutes a fan's handbag or purse, Rape, and as we all know- footballs that change air pressure depending on the weather is THE WORST OF ALL.
