Let me preface this by saying that there was no way in hell I was staying for the whole game. I have never done this. I get there early for BP. I stay until the final out. I love baseball. I was so friggin' uncomfortable at the park, I couldn't stand it. I would have toughed it out, but I'm just too friggin' tired of watching the teams that I follow just roll over and not show up to play. We were losing 6-0 after 2 innings (and one hour of play!). Gametime temperature was 56 degrees and going down, winds blowing in off the lake. It was too damn cold. I just couldn't watch the the boys lose in that weather. Since they gave up, I gave up. I made it home in enough time to watch the 9th on TV at home. Sorry, boys. You sucked tonight. Not only did Seattle get 12 runs, but they also stranded 11 runners. Way too many guys on the bases.
Since tomorrow is the same team, the same weather but windier and rain, and the ESPN Sunday Night Game instead of a day game, I just can't give you my support tomorrow night. I'm skipping the game and trying to rest-up a bit. Hope you have a good game - for a change.

Last Thursday morning, we were figuring out what we were going to do about TiVo. Bush was going to do his aircraft carrier speech at 8:00, and that would skew the start times of CSI and ER. This has happened before, so the easiest thing to do is keep the start time, but add time to the end time.
Today, as we watched CSI, we noticed something that has never happened before. I started viewing the program, and fast forwarded to get to the beginning of the show - and I overshot by a lot. Somewhere along the way, TiVo adjusted the start-time of the show by 20 minutes! I don't know how they did that, as in the morning it was still set to go at 8:00 but when I looked at the program summary, the start time was listed as 8:20. Maybe it's because of our new DirecTV TiVo and they were able to get the program information to the box without a phone call. Spooky.
