Sunday Night Baseball
Last night I watched and listened to the Cubs play the Yankees. I was worried that I might fall asleep as the game was a relatively late starting affair(8:15pm). The Cubs needed to win the game to avoid an embarrassing sweep by the surging Yankees that look good for this year's playoffs. A victory would also take the bad taste out of the teams collective mouth after the whipping they took on Saturday Night when they lost 11-6. Brett Anderson got shelled leaving after giving up five runs and getting only one out. I left a Moose Lodge Dinner beaten in the Kentucky Derby by Always Dreaming.
The Sunday morning was bright, clear, and surprisingly cool for early May in Miami. Church and then an afternoon of quarter horse racing at Remington Park in Oklahoma City. Intensive study left me with a slight profit. Mucho trabajo, poco dinero.
The lodge brothers gave me some grief for touting an also ran named Irish War Cry. I gave them the easy excuse possible about the sloppy condition of the track and then changed the subject to Thunder Snow who was entertaining as he tried to give his best imitation of a bucking horse at a rodeo. Horse and rider did not finish the race but nobody was hurt.
The Cubs tied the game in the bottom of the 9th and then the 2nd half of the doubleheader started. I woke up about 2:30am to hear that Hendricks would be batting with with two on(Bryant and Rizzo) two outs. This sounded like then end of a bad dream,unfortunately Hendricks struck out and set a record with 48 strikeouts in a game.
And the bad news continues as the Cubs had to fly to Colorado for another game this evening.
