So here we go again, huh? The Sox made the playoffs. Yes, they should have taken the AL East. Yes, it was their own fault they had to scramble. Yes, their pitching is crappy. It should still be a good ride.
But the Pats... Sunday was painful. At Chez Long Story Short, we watched the game over fondue and Michelob Ultra. During the first two quarters we were screaming encouragement but after the half all we could do was shake our heads in resignation and reach for the remote. 2 wins, one of which by all accounts should have been a loss except that Vinatieri saved the day, 2 losses. Mediocre! I hate knowing they're no longer be the team to beat. I hate that Peyton Manning is having wet dreams thinking about February 5. I hate that Bruschi is on the sidelines looking frustrated. They still kick ass, though.
Tonight is U2 at the newly-christened Garden. I like calling it that, even if it isn't the real Garden, because at least it isn't ridiculous like some other venues. The Summer's Eve Center. The Playtex Arena. The Quizno's Coliseum.
And here's a business-speak term I keep hearing at work that needs to never be uttered again: "sweat equity." Marinate in that.
