People who watch sports hoping to see fights are better off watching hockey than baseball, but there are a few good ones every once in a while, usually precipitated by the batter being hit by a pitch. In honor of the recent Jose Guillen/Pedro Martinez spat, here's the top nine mound chargings, as decided by Sportscenter in 2002.
Oh, and the Twins are 1-5. Surprise, surprise, they're not hitting. Boo.
Life is pretty quiet around here. I've been trying to find a hotel to nab a block of rooms for the party, but our late planning is working against us. Sigh.
In other news:
- Carmen was good. The music was fantastic, although I must say the leads weren't quite up to snuff. We were a little disappointed. But we've probably been spoiled watching opera here. Who knows where we'll be watching it next...
- We went rollerblading for the first time this year yesterday. It was most excellent.
- I'm wearing a short-sleeved shirt that isn't a Friday Hawaiian shirt for the first time this year today. I think spring has finally arrived.
- Amy will appreciate this. I made Chicken Tikka for the first time in years over the weekend. Only I used Veat instead of Chicken. It turned out pretty well.
Lunchtime! Probably won't involve Veat this time. What a great name for a product. Why didn't I think of that?
