15 Innings of Torture

As Soxy Deb and I are fond of reminding one another:

THERE IS

NO CRYING
IN BASEBALL!

There is, however, a hell of a lot of swearing.

Profane, unladylike, truck-driving, sailor-swaggering, biker-esque, white-trash cussing.

I, for one, said some things last night that I've never said in my 39 years. And I was in public. And I didn't care.

My words were appropriate, I rationalize, as I'd never experienced a scoreless game that went 15 innings to lose to a walk-off HR by my least favorite player in the ever-loving world. Mr A-Hole. Mr. You'll-Never-Be-A-Dirt-Dog-Player-In-Boston. Mr. Shove-the-Pitcher-Out-of-The-Way-at-First-Base. Mr. Glove-Eating-Tek-Sandwich.

I can't exactly condone violence. I'm a pacifist. No really, I am.

So, ummmm, could someone else help me out here? Please? Just don't tell me about it.

The upside to baseball: There's always a next time. 4 pm today in fact.

Just a Lovable Party Girl

Sagittarius is born to travel the world and move upwards and outwards. Naturally gregarious, they love the idea of meeting different people and understanding foreign cultures. There is also a desire to broaden the mind too, with the possibility of many Sagittarians being lifelong students. Their outlook is generally optimistic and there is a distinct lack of concern over the smaller, practical details. A great sense of humor and a lack of petty mindedness are Sagittarian qualities too. Sagittarius is open -- open-minded, open-hearted and generous, up to a point. They like to get value and will not be quite so impulsive with their cash but they do have a natural ability to get on with people from many varied walks of life. They have an innate sense of wanting to help others and give them a hand up the ladder and can be wonderful and exciting companions. Expect an honest answer when you ask a question and maybe some long philosophic discussions into the night. Jovial, optimistic, versatile, open-minded, philosophical, sincere, frank, visionary.
