Life has been pretty crazy around here, but last night I made an effort to watch the game as I was tooling around the house getting stuff done. Kazmir was looking great. He and Zaun seemed to have things figured out. The offense was struggling until Kapler decided it was time to take the lead. Everything was looking ripe for the sweep.
Finally I settled in to watch the rest of the game. When the second umpire dropped like a fly. There was quite a delay, long enough to put this girl to sleep. Zzzzzz.
I woke up in a daze sometime in the eighth inning and thought to myself “I should just go to bed,” but at this point I was kind of refreshed from my power nap.
In the top of the ninth a couple guys got on, and I was pulling for the Rays to score an insurance run. No dice.
So JP comes in to do his thing, but instead of shutting them down he gives up a home run to tie the game. Evidently he doesn’t like to sweep. No really JP Howell has been awesome for the Rays, but his three blown saves lately cause me stress. They also cause him stress. He was visibly shaken after that fateful pitch. He got squeezed by the umpire, but I might have brought someone else in to try to keep the game alive. Mr. Maddon stuck with his guy, as he has a tendency to do.
After the final wild pitch a blogger’s exasperated cry was heard “Ugh, I should have gone to bed!”
I should have GONE to bed.
I’m still tired. Sue me.
I was angry at myself for staying up to watch that horrible inning. It makes me sad that I am not angry at them for losing another game in the standings or losing to a team we have beaten all year. I just kind of accepted it. sad.
