Hey, just so you know ... this post is now about 16 years and 11 months old. Please keep that in mind as it very well may contain broken links and/or outdated information.

Since I couldn’t get tickets to the first two ALCS games here in St. Pete and today’s Game 3 was early, we decided to do baseball night for dinner.

I fired up the grill and cooked some hamburgers (well, turkey burgers) and hot dogs, we baked some pretzels, served some drinks (I had a beer) and then turned on the surround sound and watched the game in HD in the family room. It was just like being there … except without annoying Boston fans, people constantly crawling over you to get out of the row, lines for the bathroom, and much comfier seats. 😀

What a game … total domination by the Rays in Fenway as they win 9-1 and take a 2-1 game lead in the series. Go Rays!!

Now I’m watching the Brows on Monday Night Football … the first time they’ve been on MNF in five years. They’ve taken an early 3-0 lead over the defending Super Bowl champion New York Giants, but as a realist (and lifelong Cleveland fan), I don’t expect that to last.
