The Red Sox pitching staff may feel free to kiss my ass. Except for Wake. Wake gets a cookie. Oh, hell, given the importance of this week, he gets a box of cookies.
And that is all I have to say about a game that left me sitting miserably on the floor, being (gently) made fun of by my coworker THE PIRATES FAN. I ask you. How does a Pirates fan have the right to make fun of anyone?
I fled for a smoke (which prompted Ryan to get on the intercom: "GO RED SOX"), because yeah, that quitting smoking thing? Postponed till the offseason. First day of the offseason, I quit cold turkey. Till then, I will smoke as much as I damn well please.
While outside, I called![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
manderspander and she cheered me up immensely by informing me of the following:
* The Tigers squeaked out a 3-2 win. I sort of knew this - since they were playing the White Sox, the WEEI announcers were giving us updates, which was pretty cool - but hearing it confirmed was terrific. That is four wins in a row. Who'd've guessed that would happen?
* The Astros did a little squeaking of their own and got a 3-1 win. And not just a 3-1 win, but a 3-1 win against the Cardinals (against whom we have a two-game series, wtf), who have owned us this season. Fantastic.
* The Mets, who have replaced the Braves as the team I am pretending to like, beat the Phillies with another 3-2 win. This combined with the Astros win brings the Astros up to a two and a half lead in the wild card race, and puts the Phillies' elimination number at three. Thank you, Mets!
* The Marlins got positively flattened by the Nats, 11-1, which officially eliminates them from the race. The Nats, who I was worried about not too long ago, got themselves eliminated a few days ago.
* This means that I no longer have to give a shit about the Braves and their stupid clinching (why I resent this so much, I have no damn idea, but I do) and their stupid series coming up against the Marlins. Thanks for contributing to their elimination, guys. Now I am done. Hate you! Mean it!
So. Astros. I can't say anything, because it's just asking for disaster, but. Please.
Oooooh, yeah. Plus, the Yankees lost, 17-9. To the Orioles. That is not only hilarious, but it at least maintains the AL East tie. GO ORIOLES WOOOOOO.
(Oh, and also, because I am nice, I asked Amanda for the score of the Pirates game, and was able to tell Ryan that his team won 5-3. His response: "YES! *pause* They still suck!" Hee.)
