Bachelor Monday Night

The wife's up in SF for a couple of days, so me and the HB are doing the bachelor thing. So, as is our tradition, we stopped at the store to get some seafood (shrimp) for dinner. Strangely, he asked if we could watch baseball (sorry, Rockies fans) or football. Not sure if he really has an interest in either or just wanted to watch TV while we ate. Either way, even though I'm watching the game now on DVR, it's nice to actually watch MNF for a change. I just haven't been that dialed into the NFL this year...just too busy (and my fantasy team is suffering for it). Speaking of MNF, what's with the parade of celebs in the booth. Yuck...this is why I watch the games with the sound off.

Back to baseball, I am SO sick of the Red Sox now. They were the best team in the playoffs and probably in the league (after watching the Rockies, Cleveland fans must be sick to their stomachs for blowing that 3-1 lead). But, and as much as Sox fans don't want to admit it, they are the Yankees with a less publicly obnoxious owner. They'll cement that reputation if they sign A-Rod who didn't resign with the Yankees.

Christ, how long is this game going to last...there have been 20 penalties and there is still 9 minutes left to go.

While we're in football mode, I can't get over the Tennessee-South Carolina game. One one hand, had they lost, after blowing a 21-0 lead at home, the drumbeats for the head coaches head would have gotten louder (and Fulmer seems to have overstayed his welcome). But, thanks to some clutch field goals, not only do they pull the game out, but now they control their own destiny for the SEC championship game (no matter that they would get eviscerated by either LSU or Auburn). It's just been a weird season.
