Baseball and other things emblematic of America

Had a great time at pheromone’s watching the Red Sox lose. She was very patient with all my questions: “Why wasn’t that a foul?” “Who’s the guy standing behind the guy batting?” and so on.

Afterwards, watched some of The Daily Show, which I’d never seen (beyond the occasional clip quoted on a political blog). Unfortunately, I didn’t realize how late it was, and I missed the last Braintree train. Fortunately, there are shuttle busses from the last Ashmont train to Quincy. This is why I am still up — I just got home.

Oh, and plumtreeblossom wrote a much better narrative of our DC trip than mine. (I still intend to post pictures, but I don’t see when I’m going to get a chance to do that before the weekend.)

Hated to see the Sox lose. I'm a Mets fan, they managed to implode in spectacular fashion at the end of the regular season and not make the playoffs. So now I want Boston to go to the World Series and beat Colorado. They need to win on Thursday or they're done.

the Daily Show is great. Almost worth missing a train over, although probably not consistently.
