So I was inspired after I read the Bill Simmons book, Now I Can Die in Peace, to write my own minutes for the games that I catch on television. Mandatory occasions mostly will be posted, like games vs the Yanks, Opening day (read further), playoff games, a game update a month, possibly others that I just watch. It is just my thoughts during the game... will potentially become very hilarious and my obsessive crazy side will appear. Just a forewarning.
Could I be more excited...NOPE!! My mind is thinking stellar match up for this opening day, Tigers vs. Red Sox. The best line-ups with the highest expectations of any team this season. Wow, I have some adrenaline pumping in me. I seriously got out of bed to watch baseball. "I will be Mr. Everything" "Beast mode never sleeps." Opening day commercial just gave me the chills!!! First thought about Verlander walking to the mound...HOLY MOLY! Did he hit the steroids or do those pants just not flatter his legs?Seriously looking like a linebacker.
12:10 First pitch. Ellsbury vs. Verlander. MVP vs. MVP Runner-up. First time for that to ever happen. Best vs. the Best. and Ellsbury last year came back from a broken rib and never missed a game.
12:13 Carl Crawford is gone, out for injury. Well he sucked last year. Not hitting like he did for the Rays before Theo snatched him up.
12:14 Can't wait to watch Lester blow it up. He had a good Spring Training and thanks to ESPN and MLB Network for televising them so I could watch. that was wonderful and got my hype for the season at an all time high.
12:17 dang it. There goes Lester's no-no. ha.
12:19 Checking Twitter. Baby Carlos (Hangover baby) is flat out hilarious. "Oh, you're 14 and quit smoking? How inspiring."
12:22 Ortiz going oppo for a double. How about that shift baby! Yeah.
12:27 Jamie came home! Love chatting with her about Jason problems. Missed a couple of batters but her drama is better than watching Verlander dominate us. She is too funny. I love talking to her. We still can just chat about our lives like we are still belt loop buddies. She finally mentioned the marriage word with Jason! But she said she would say no right now.
12:36 Prince Fielder has a serious stash/facial hair.
12:37 Two double plays turned, Aviles still has to prove himself though. Seems like there is a different guy starting in the shortstop position every year on Opening Day.
12:38 Ryan Rayburn(tigers) is a stud. Going to be great one day.
12:39 Forgot to mention Tito was commenting the game (his new job). We will pay close attention to his comments. Already said Pedroia "is the bright light. Valentine is going to love him." That makes me happy. I love Dustin!!
12:40 "Cubs winning the World Series" video game commercial make me laugh and hurt at the same time. I understand what a drought feels like...wait was that a hit at the Red Sox thinking every year is The Year? if so eff off MLB2K12. I am pissed now. Everyone thinks they can just pick on Sox fans.
12:42 Verlander is too good. MVP repeat? Too soon?
12:43 Who I think is Aviles has another Youk stance...SCORE!
12:46 Top of the order for Boston and I think ORtiz has the only hit. Great, Verlander is red hot, lobster jalapeno hot.
12:54 Tito finally says something worth catching my attention.
12:55 Man if we have another finish like last year I will have to crawl in a hole. I am not kidding. I just might accidentally not come back from a hiking trip. Salty is HUGEEE! Kinda miss seeing Captain.
12:56 Jim Leland still wears his spikes as a manager. Maybe they should have asked Tito why he never even wore the jersey....
12:57 Lester almost threw the ball away to first on a pick off play. Can't throw the ball to first base is a sad, sad statement for a professional ball player. Maybe I could make it after all??hmmm.
1:02 No Francona, scoring position is not a runner on first. Geez how did this guy get us a championship?!
1:03 Burger King trying to be healthy with fruit smoothies and garden fresh salads. If you want to be healthy tear down your establishments? PS garden fresh? Must be hard keeping a garden in all the pavement.
1:04 Why is a Detroit team called the Tigers? Moreover, the Lions? At least the Pistons got it right.
1:05 Two pop flys for Pedroia. efffffffffffffffffffffffff
1:06 Tito wanted to get popcorn instead of face Nolan Ryan hahaha.
1:15 Prince Fielder struck out by Lester! Whoo Lester has his stuff today. 0-0 4th
1:18 Another montage about thee horrible collapse of 2011. Way to rub it in. We are trying to move on. Let's ask Tito, he probably knows as much as Sarah Palin did on foreign policy. He let his players party in the lockeroom. The man had no control. At least show you care. You coached in a city that cares more about their ball club than their marriages.
1:21 How about we get a hit?!?!? The best thing about Valentine so far, he cares. He is wearing the uniform, 10 steps ahead of Tito, and he is standing, encouraging his players. Wow interaction. See its not that hard.
1:23 Wow even Fielder wasn't ready for verlander's move to first. Ellsbury hat hair is so sexy.
1:24 Verlander looks like Logan!! Now if Logan was him, then I would not blow him off at all. In fact, I would be in Arkansas right now hahah. Shallow much?
1:26 5 hits between both teams. I will take that Opening day ace match-up
1:33 Lester pitching through traffic. Salty should have thrown down to 2nd to pick that guy off. Can't help but wonder if Tek would have? Plus it would have changed the momentum of the game, he was half way to 3rd!
1:36 Yep keep pitching out of traffic! Almost started sweating. Gosh its only the first game of the season.
1:32 Gotta pee, don't want to get up though!!!
1:38 and again. A pop-up into the glove of Pedroia. Great jump. Just the best player ever! "Not a lot of quiet moments from Pedroia." "Big Papi called him everyday just because he missed him." "When Pedroia walks in the lights get brighter." How can you not fall in love with a team like this one!?
1:46 Tito trying to remember who his short stops were...really? Don't ask the poor man, he forgot to wear his uniform to every game.
1:52 going to play sand volleyball. Now I want this game to hurry!
1:59 "I am a crazy bitch but I am not yours!" Momentary flashback with Jamie to Spring Break SPI freshman year. haha
2:00 okay back to the game, and another double play for Lester. This guy just pitching through some 5 o'clock Austin traffic!
ehhh. going to play sand volleyball there are 161 games left right?
Boston lost the game in 10 innings to the Tigers 3-2. They have since only won one game (1-4). Maybe Valentine isn't the right guy.
