Oh Boy, LaTroy!
Now that my interest in baseball has been (slightly) piqued, I found myself enthralled as I watched (the replay of) LaTroy Hawkins being dragged from the field this afternoon. Apparently, he and the home plate ump disagreed on the location of the strike zone.
Aside from LaTroy's dramatic exit, the rest of the game was a disaster. The Cubs blew a huge lead and are now 10 games out of first place. This is why I'm going to have to stay a Yankees fan for at least a little while longer. We're 7 up on Boston!
Oh, and by the way, I now believe that the contest for most annoying regional accent is a toss up between the Bawston accent and the Chic-eeeh-go one. I'd take a good ol' New York accent over either one any day.

Oh joy! Dana a baseball fan! once it is in your blood, there's no way to get it out -- and who would want to? for a delightful account of a woman's love affair with a different sport, consider Jane Smiley's "A Year at the Races." I am one chapter in and enjoying it immensely.
And here it is only seven days 'til Saratoga...
