I've enjoyed good timing tonight:
During the class break they had the TV on in the lounge, and I saw the Red Sox load the bases. Even better, I saw Dominican superstar David Ortiz get on base and score one of their first runs in a room full of excited and mostly Dominican baseball fans. Then I saw Shane Victorino hit a triple off the Green Monster and score three runs before returning to class.
Then I rode the subway home and got back just in time to figure out how to turn on the cable TV (usually my roommate is home to deal with that), which happened to be on the right channel. There were two outs and two strikes, and then Koji Uehara threw the final strike and the Red Sox won their first series at Fenway in 95 years, something I hadn't thought about at all but the announcers were happy to inform me about.
First the Ravens, then the Red Sox: teams with "B" as their logo represent 2013.
Also, the baseball team with beards dominated!
Last year the San Francisco Giants won while we were still working. It was really awkward because the boss wanted everyone to finish their work by some arbitrarily designated time. I think at 730 he said he wanted everything done by 8, or something like that, which was a rare thing for him to do. Of course nobody finished, and he blew up and told everyone to go home. But I was up top on the catwalk doing punch downs with loud hydraulics, so I never heard him, and I kept working. My reward was that they kept me around for another hour or two to help out with everything because they'd sent the other two interns home. I felt bad for the cellar master, who was a huge Giants fan, but couldn't enjoy their sweeping victory because of the rare explosion from the boss and the subdued atmosphere it created for the five of us who remained. He apologized later, but I didn't mind because I didn't hear him anyway. Good times.
Anyway, good for the socks which are colored red.
BE!
