The laughing stock of baseball

  • So I'm sitting there watching yet another pathetic display of what was supposed to be a baseball game and I thought to myself: What the heck am I going to talk about tomorrow? Why the heck would anyone want to visit the site, never mind read anything, in the midst of the team's worst losing streak since 1994?

    So basically I'm assuming nobody is here to read this today, and incomprehensible ramble is all your going to get if you are unfortunate enough to read this.

    Needless to say I lost interest in what was happening on the TV screen, so I opted for other forms of entertainment, the digital camera. As you can see in the image above, I stopped watching the game here, so if anything even remotely interesting happened, I have no idea.

    Game Note: 13 hits and 5 runs to show for. Creme de la CHOKE!

    And the rage would return... Upon taking a look at the final game line I saw an all too familiar stat. A ridiculous amount of hits with absolutely no runs to show for. Right now there is NOT ONE good hitter on this team. Not one! Everybody Sucks!

    Unfotunately with every 'daily episode' (me freaking out), as it has come to be know at my house, there is an unfortunate victim...

    This is a 'before' picture of what used to be a cute Halloween cookie jar. Upon the end of the game this once decorative holiday novelty became, well, lets just say I can't post a 'after' picture because It has been deemed unsuitable for a less than PG13 audience.

    Ah, just another day in RSN. If anyone has any suggestions as to what the hell I should talk about while the team plays out the string, let me know, because talking about Red Sox right now does nothing but give me indigestion.
