OK, let's start with the Yankees game against the Boston Red Sox in New York.
That's my dad-in-law's baseball cap logo reflected in the rear-view mirror there. OK, let's see what we can see...
Not bad at all. Just a bit of the right-field I can't see.
Ah, zoom lenses are a wonderful thing. This is Derek Jeter fouling a ball off (if you look at the umpire, you can see the ball whizzing past his back).
So let's look at what let the Yanks win this one 5-0, and sweep their AL East rivals...
The runners on 1st and 2nd both went to steal bases (it was Jeter and Bobby Abreu). Varitek threw as fast as he could to third to get Jeter out, but the ball whizzed by Boston's third baseman and that little error allowed both runners to get in home.
Just want to say too: #55, Hideki Matsui, is my favourite player in the team.
We were sat near a few Red Sox fans, so after shouting at them for three hours (always great fun), my throat was a little sore. But I also developed a cold (there's one going around) so the shouting just made it worse.
In other news, the dog is now up to 20lbs (that's 9kgs in new money) and loves going for long walks. Which is helping me lose a bit of weight. Which is nice.
We also managed to get contractors booked to make our path (from front of house to driveway) and our sidewalk is done too. The path's great - loading the 500 little cobblestones, not so much. We planted grass out front and put down erosion mats, and it's beginning to sprout. Nice. Another few jobs off the list.
Listen - The Path - HIM ... Sick Child - Siouxsie And The Banshees ... New York City - John Lennon.
