09 August 2004

Back from a weekend in the Detroit area, where I got to play some trash (after a strong undefeated start I took the collar three times to finish fourth) and see the Red Sox play the Tigers, marking the first Sox win I've seen outside of Fenway (it being only the second time I've seen them play outside of Fenway, though).

If yesterday's game had happened last year - where the pitching staff gives up a half-dozen dingers and yet the team still wins - we'd have seen it as another sign from Providence (not the one in Rhode Island) that the Sox were destined. This year, though, it's another reminder of the team's inconsistency.

Not much else to report, other than that the Airport station on the T's Blue Line is light years better than the old one, and that the T is run by idiots. When you can't access automated commuter rail schedule information because it's after office hours, you are run by idiots.
