Yeah i gotta be productive early after long nights of drinking these days. And I don't do it as much. Regular drinking and I'm fine. 

it does suck as you get older

I can attest to this. Used to be able to drink until 4 or 5 and wake up for 7. If I drink now I feel it for two days sometimes. 

Man those were the days. Leaving the bar Saturday at 5, getting home at 6, girlfriend waking me up at 8 for fun. 

Jake Cave hits against the Cubs too. It must be a Chicago thing for him.

Fouls off so many fastballs down the plate to the right side. Seems he’s down 0-2 in the count every single at bat.

Just not a lot of competitive at bats. I was really optimistic after that single up the middle against the twins a few days ago, but no.

Since the game is pretty boring might as well get off topic.  In HS and college I was in the best shape of my life and also drinking like a fish.  I would go work out incredibly hard in the morning, do like multiple muscle groups then go take a nap (drank the night before of course) then go make like 200 bucks as my job as a server at a high end restaurant surrounded by hot ass girls, then go drink with them and the other crew until 2-4 AM, then wakeup and do it all over again.  

And when I got home I could raid my parent's fridge for leftover steak or pulled pork or whatever the hell it was my mom made that day.  Man, youth is wasted on the young!

I can't believe I'm saying this...but I almost want Nicky Delmonico back instead of Nomar. 

Crochet up in the pen

Crochet warming

I was a bartender while in grad school and I understand that life. I'll probably only live to 46 but it was worth it. Wouldn't believe how many ladies through themselves at you because you work behind a bar and talk to them. 

Gonna see crochet soon!

crochet is either high waisting it or is really all legs.

How apropos would it be if Nomar's first homerun finally came tonight as like a solo shot in the 8th inning of a 8-0 beat down.

I'm torn between wanting to see that and wanting him to stay cold so he won't start in the playoffs because I have no confidence he will deliver in those playoffs.

Nicky 2 bags

That was perfect by Madrigal 

Let's put up an improbable 7 spot and get Gonzalez a W ?

Totally, working the service industry was a great time.  I worked my ass off but made great money and still keep in touch with a few of the people from back then.  The energy when you got off a shift and had that money in your pocket at that age is something I still think about with fond memories.

We are a better team if he figures it out, but like you I have little faith it would continue to carry over, although his first HR could be a huge monkey off his back

Did something happen in that game? 

Alright let's see if this offense has a pulse tonight. 

How many runs will the Sox get here?

Over/under: 1.5?

Jose w a 3 run shot here would be nice!
