Goodwill Hunting…….the hell??!!!!
So after Percy pitched the eighth and didn’t give up any runs, I was getting sleepy. I switched over to watch a little bit of Goodwill Hunting. If you knew me, you’d know that I have a serious problem with getting sucked into movies. Even if I’ve seen them a hundred times before. Imagine my surprise when I snap out of it, and switch back to the Rays game and the score is tied. What the hell?
This was the most messed up game I can remember this season, but as I reflect on it, it’s obvious that the baseball gods had a plan all along. You see the Twins had lost four in a row. They needed this win.
What else could explain the backwards way that game was played? The Rays have been winning all season with pitching and defense plus some timely hitting. Last night the only pitcher that could stop the Twins was Percy??? That’s messed up, man. Plus our offense was on fire, which was nice but bizarre. Longo, he of the scratch and dent mohawk section, hit three home runs himself. Awesome, but wacked.
Don’t fret this loss, the baseball gods have the big picture in mind. Besides, Katie from Those Girls really needed a boost. I mean who know what levels she was going to have to go to. She had already taken to body graffiti, and I was seriously worried for Cleveland fans. She has a plan for how this can all work out for the Rays and the Twins. Let’s hope the baseball gods are listening, and if not maybe we can bribe her with a Bartlett Rays shirt?? Go Rays!!
I bought 2 Bartlett shirts, you know in case something happened to the other one, so she can totally borrow one! haha
Ha! I had the exact same thought, watching the end of the game, and seeing the White Sox score. I believe my exact quote was “Oh my god, I am totally the boss of this!”
I quickly backed down, wanting to avoid the baseball gods being angered with my hubris.
Selfishly, I really want the Twins and Rays to meet in the 1st round of playoffs so Bartlett is guaranteed to play at the Dome at least one more game this season. But yes, I do need a Rays Bartlett shirt, and I can absolutely be bought.
what size?
