Because the White Sox-Rays game ran long, the telecast of the Red Sox-Angels game was moved briefly to TNT. TNT was showing "Titanic".
The Titanic sank the same week that Fenway Park opened. The game is being played in...you guessed it....Fenway.
We pick up the action in the bottom of the fifth, Angels leading 4-3.
Jacoby Ellsbury sends a semi difficult fly to the base of the left field wall that Garrett Anderson egregiously muffs, Ellsbury cruising into second. Our Man DP battles to a 3-2 count before popping out. This is the second muff for the Angels tonight, Kendrick and Hunter muffing a fly into short center. Papi strikes out swinging on a nice high fastball from Joe Saunders. Our Man Youk doubles smartly off the wall in deep center, scoring Ellsbury to tie the game at 4. Everybody's Favorite Canadian, Jason Bay, works the ever popular walk.
Scoscia goes to the mound and puts in Jose Arredondo, who throws, as we New Englanders put it, wicked hahd. Now it's Mike Lowell, American Hero, who whiffs on a called strike. A borderline call, but nothing much Mike could do.
Metropolitan District Commission comes on for the sixth, which does not lend one to calm, rational thought. MDC has shown a knack for getting rocked, but at times blowing people away. Garrett Anderson chops a ball to first, that Youk tracks down and just barely gets to the bag in time to retire Anderson. Teixeira also grounds to first, much easier play for Youk. Big Bad Vlad now. Vlad hits several scary fouls, then rolls out to second. A 1-2-3 inning for MDC. Phew.
Arredondo is back out, facing Farmer Jed with his way out, leaning over, guy falling out of a window delivery. Lowrie strikes out swinging, and Varitek takes called strike three on a nasty split. Covelli Crisp grounds out softly, and it is on to Inning The Seventh
The acting in Titanic = horrible. Kate Winslett was far more talented in the Holiday.
ReplyDeleteThe best part of Titanic was the music. Unfortunately, I am so scarred by the horrible movie, that I can't listen to the music without being annoyed because I can remember certain parts of the movie.
The only "good" and "moving" part of the movie is when the boat is sinking, and the elderly couple is laying together on their bed, awaiting the sinking of the ship as the water pours in. That had me in tears for weeks. The rest of the movie has had me in anger for years.

I've actually never seen it beginning to end. Unlike most males in a relationship in that point in history, I dodged that bullet.
ReplyDeleteI did see "Waiting To Exhale", though.
