ALCS Game 1 Kibbles
Free taco count: 5*
1. Feasting.
2. I bet Papelbon really wants to destroy Craig Sager's new purple hyper-color jacket.
3. Less cowbell!
4. Too bad for Rays fans. Not only did they lose the game, but they also missed Wheel of Fortune to watch it.
5. Dice-K is the philosopher pitcher.
6. Is it me or does Kevin Youkilis look particularly scarier in this series? He's letting his beard grow wild or something. I would not want to pitch to that guy.
7. Carl Crawford's tattoo looks kind of like that thing they sprayed on the turf in center field. What is that?
8. I knew the Rays had lost when they brought in David Archuleta to sing the National Anthem. They should've just waved a white flag. Then at least we wouldn't of had to listen to Archuleta.
*Although I haven't seen any ads, I'm assuming that Taco Bell is running their "Steal a Base, Steal a Taco" campaign once again this year. I'm also assuming that for every base Ellsbury steals in the Playoffs, America earns another free taco (and Crisp and Pedroia). I'm just keeping a tally in case I have to write Taco Bell's Chief Marketing Officer David Ovens to get us our free tacos.

Hate to say it, but the Rays may not be so lame. They refuse to roll over and play dead! I really hope we animal fans do not end up wearing Rays hats at the end of this!
Pupi, do you think these playoff games are about 50% longer than regular season games? I am getting to be a very cranky kitty from this lack of sleep!

Regarding getting more free tacos thanks to Jacoby Ellsbury steals, the old adage "you can't steal first base" is important to remember.
I don't even remember him getting any balls out of the infield in this series, with strikeouts and bouncing to the pitcher being the predominant outcome of his at-bats.
Big Pupi, maybe you can use your influence to get him swinging better for the rest of the series.

Dear Pupi - Sadly, my human witnessed last night's game in person. I guess the only "positive" is that locals Rocco Baldelli and Carlos Peña got to homer in front of their families. But now that they have done that, the Rays are done. We need to get down to business tonight. Any bright notes to put a smile on my face?

Sorry Emmet. I had a rough day yesterday too because I had to go to the vet and watch the Sox lose.
