Commerical flipping aggravation!

First off, baseball...
I'm doing my best to flip to the game during commercials of the other shows we watch. Has anyone else noticed that most of the time when you flip to a game during a commercial that they are between innings!?!?!? How aggravating is that?

I was suprised to hear Lou Piniella on the broadcast. I thought we'd get some decent commentary but he was pretty dry, repeating the obvious most of the time. I guess he's only exciting when he's throwing bases around. Pretty sloppy play by the White Sox last night. I expect them to rebound with a good game tonight.
Playoff fantasy stats from last night:
Hitting - 3-15, 3 rbi's.
Pitching - 9 1/3 innings, 3 er, 7 hits, 0 bb's, 5 k's, L, Sv

Ok, my hitters sucked but the pitching did well. Contreras had a rough start and made a big mistake trying to turn two instead of getting the out at the plate, but settled down well.





Amazing Race
I'm not really getting into the Race this season. Maybe it's because it's all in the US or maybe because it's got boring families in it, I don't know. I do know I don't have anyone I'm pulling for. I'm mostly just looking for people to do stupid/funny things and rooting for the whiner-cry babies to lose.





Boston Legal
I hope everyone watches this show. I laugh my ass off every week. Shatner and Spader are an amazing team. Last night's episode was hilarious. They went on a fishing trip to British Columbia. Lying in twin beds in the same room, Spader is reading about a leech that attaches to salmon and infects them. He says they're called klingons... Shatner doesn't bat an eye, "did you say klingons?"




The wife wasn't feeling well last night and wanted to just lie down and watch a movie after work so we watched Sahara, which I had gotten through Netflix, oh, about a month ago. It was a pretty good, lively movie with it's share of funny moments and big explosions (two of my keys to a successful action movie).
Of course, this means I didn't do anything I was supposed to do last night. Oh well, I've got a free night tonight, I hope.

I take it Netflix finally sent you the right dvd. How many tries did that take?
Yes, the free gas part was awesome, best prize ever. I would immediately go out and buy a huge truck and giant motor home and drive everywhere...
