The Boston Red Sox today received righthanded pitcher Virgil Vasquez on a waiver claim from the Detroit Tigers.
What do we know about him?
Well:
Last year for Detroit, he pitched for 16.2 innings total. In those 16.2 innings, he allowed 27 hits, 16 runs (all of which were earned), allowed 7 home runs, walked 5 and struck out 7. His ERA was 8.64.
We'll see how he works out, but pitchers are always a good thing to have, right?
Right?

I KNEW I recognized her!!
I've been watching "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles", because I am obsessed...
I saw the creepy, red-haired, Irish, creepy, robot-woman (did I mention creepy?) and I thought I recognized her -
She's Shirley Manson, frontwoman to the band "Garbage". Remember them from the 90s??
I think she's great, creepy, but great!

Edit to the last post
Well gee, they thought it was time to put the tarp down.
I don't care what they said - they would not have put out the tarp if it wasn't a tied game.
A suspended game to be picked up in the bottom of the 6th, or will the rain delay end sometime tonight? We'll have to wait and see...

Is anyone watching the Series?
I tune in here and there, just enough to know I'm not all that interested.
I did tune in for a bit tonight to see the DELUGE of rain coming down. What are they thinking? The field is puddling up, and everyone's going to drop the ball.
Argh - stupidity at its finest.

mini-Thanksgiving
Tonight I had my in-laws for dinner. Mom, dad, and brother.
I made them Orange Spiced Chicken, Peapod & Orange Salad, Cinnamon Raisin Bread, Sweet Potato Salad, and a Black & White Angel Food Cake.
Mom brought some pasta with vodka sauce, Dad brought an apple pie, and brother-in-law brought some wine.
We had to pull the leaf out in the table, and I used a tablecloth and cloth napkins with napkin rings. I even bought a small bouquet of flowers for the center.
It was a feast!! We even watched football! It truly was a mini-Thanksgiving.

Perhaps if all divorces were solved this way, there wouldn't be so many.

Wicked good shows!
Just got back from NYC - annual Girl's Weekend - we go every Columbus Day weekend to shop and see shows on Broadway. This year we saw Wicked and Little Mermaid.
Wicked was just that. It was awesome. I've had the soundtrack in my head for the entire weekend.
The Little Mermaid was good too - although I think we would have enjoyed it more if not for all of the little kiddos. We did go to a Sunday matinee, however...
There were two days of street fairs to walk through, and I bought a few Christmas presents. I also bought some stuff for myself - new rainboots, and a dress for my December concert.
We had a ton of fun - ate some good food (unlike last year's Irish pub experience), shopped our brains out (don't worry - I didn't spend too much $$), and saw some great shows.
The Milford Plaza was a step down from last year - apparently the breakfast that we ate last year was NOT included in our price - we aren't club members, so we shouldn't have been eating there - who knew??
We made our traditional stop at Rein's Deli in Vernon, CT and ate the sour pickles. I also had my very first Bialy - a cross between a bagel and english muffin - yummy.
I am finally home, and am planning on taking a nap while catching up on my DVR'd shows.
:-D
