What. A. Game.

This one had everything. Fan interference. Aggressive crowd. Some of the best fielding plays on both sides. Assertive base running. You name it.

I’m enjoying the difference in strategy both managers are using to choreograph their pitching talent, how they manage them, use them and when they sit them is fascinating.

In Res Sox tradition, the ‘win wall’ photo was that final catch by Benintendi. He needs a cape 💪🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️

Woot woot! Red Sox levelled the series at 1-1. Price didn’t pitch long enough to record the win, but he had some terrific low pitch count outs.

I love it when our offence gets out fast from the start – two runs in the first innings is great. We should do it again next time 😬

Mookie, Benintendi and JBJ smacked the ball around, even the Green Monsta took out an Astro for a few minutes.

Better throws to first base also – poor Pearce gets horizontal to catch out runners. He must have a Thor-like core strength. Maybe the team (particularly 3rd base and shortstop) could toss it cleaner and higher so he can catch standing vertical like the rest of you do…just a thought.

A little worried at the news on Sale being admitted to hospital. Fingers crossed it’s nothing scary or contagious!

On to Houston.

Well this was not fun.

High pitch count up front for Sale – who is no doubt more pissed about his performance than anyone else is. The bullpen did it’s best, but the Astros smacked it around. There were challenges aplenty and what can only be described as a “fluid” idea of a strike zone. The reaction to that in in the 5th innings had our Manager thrown out of the game. Hit batsmen, hit base coaches, even a hit umpire – this game had a little bit of everything.

We are one game down, but there’s still six to go. #DoDamage.

Step one. Dream of where to go. 

Step two. Save like a mad woman. 

Step three. Deliberate on which planner to plan trip in. Hum. Hah. Try a few different sorts out. Gather supplies. Create templates. Try them out. Tweak them. Try again. Bin them. Google and Pinterest and Facebook planner groups. Drool and rub hands together. 

Step four. Shop for cute accessories to go with possible planner options. 

It’s not just me is it?

As far as my annual tarot reading goes, it’s game on for 2013. According to these cards, the end of 2012 was full of irritable niggle and restless dissatisfaction. No kidding!

The next steps, however, are in clear air and full of good potential. One issue will be the need to keep moving along this new path and deal with the old ways crumbling without needing to blow everything to hell in the process. Temper temper!

If you’re debating whether to give something new a go, but hesitate because you think you’re too old to begin an “apprenticeship”, consider where you’ll be this time next year if you don’t make a start…in exactly the same place you are now.

2013 is not the year to stagnate, ladies and gentlemen. Hang on tight or you may be left behind.
