Where's the Picture?

The Bruins playoffs are on NESN, so I'm old-timing it with the radio tonight. I think listening to some games is great for my baseballucation, but tonight I am wishing I had a visual.

One, I have a bad cold and my ears are stuffed up.

Two, it's a close game. The Texas Rangers took the early lead, the Sox went ahead, then the Rangers tied it up 7-7 in the seventh. Daniel Bard pitched two perfect innings (no batters got on base) in the eighth and ninth. I would have loved to see that... not to mention Ranger's pitcher Neftali Feliz's 100 mph fastballs, for the sake of learning baseball of course.

Now it's the bottom of the twelfth, the score is still 7-7, and I'm still listening on the radio because the Bruins are in overtime too. I have the Bruins game muted on the TV, and I did get a glimpse of Fenway when they showed the Green Monster scoreboard being updated as the Bruins went into double OT.

Woohoo! Youkilis just hit one off the wall to bring in Marco Scutaro. The Sox win 8-7.

Double woohoo! I'm going to bed where I hope my desire for a visual results in a peaceful night dreaming about baseball.

*Hitting a double means each runner advances two bases. I'm planning a post on "ground rule doubles," but not tonight. This deserves it's own post and a much less muddled mind.
