the baseball book

ok, so i finished the book about the redsox winning season this morning, over coffee, with the cat sleeping on my lap........i had no choice to but sit and finish it rather than to wake the cat by getting up and doing something else........the highlights of the season, as i saw them upon the book's blow-by-blow reflections are as follows........1)the fight in july.....the one where with varitek in a-rod's face...........and the bench-clearing that followed......i am not much for fights.....i can count the fights..well. arguments rather than fights i have had in my marriage on one hand.....but this was so unexpected and yet so inescapable........2) the bellhorn homer that the yankee fan deflected back into the stadium.....the umps wisely called it a homer after conferring.......3) the business with a-rod knocking the ball out of aroyo's glove so that jeter could score.......4)the hair..........damon, manny, aroyo.....5)the big homers......ortiz had so many...as well as damon et al.....6)schilling and his ankle.......not much to say about the world series itself......the cardinals didn't play all that well, so those games were anticlimatic after the series with the yankees......and so...another book finished in january.......back to lamb.....
