PAWTUCKET VS. SCRANTON

                      PAWTUCKET WON AT YANKEE STADIUM IN THE LAST YANKEE - RED SOX GAME OF THE 2011 SEASON.  IT TOOK 14 INNINGS AND EVERY PLAYER CALLED UP RECENTLY ON EITHER TEAM GOT TO PLAY.  FINALLY ELLSBURY, A FORMER CAPE COD LEAGUE PLAYER IN FALMOUTH,MA SCORED AND THE TIE WAS BROKEN AND THE GAME WAS OVER.  IT WAS OVER AND SO LONG AND DISTRESSING THAT THE FAT LADY DIDN'T WAIT TO SING "SWEET CAROLINE."  THEN THE BOYS OF SUMMER HAD TO HEAD FOR TAMPA AND BALTIMORE.  IT WAS EXCRUTIATING AND ONLY A TEAM WITH A NEAL (BOY AM I DEPRESSED AND DEPRESSING) DIAMOND THEME SONG COULD PERPETUATE SUCH AGONY.  IT WAS LIKE WAITING FOR WET PAINT TO DRY.

                   FINALLY SCRANTON THREW IN THE TOWEL AND ALLOWED PAWTUCKET OT GET A  RUN.  I GUESS THE AIRPORTS WERE CLOSING OR FOG WAS SETTING IN OR SOMETHING.  SO IF THE YANKEES BEAT THE DEVIL RAYS,IT WILL HELP THEIR ARCH ENEMY GET INTO THE PLAYOFFS OR IF THE RED SOX CAN BEAT BALTIMORE OR SOME OTHER SCENARIO COOKED UP FOR THE CABLE TV MONEY AND ADVERTISING DOLLARS TO KEEP ON FLOWING UNTIL THEYE SQUEEZE EVERY PENNY OUT OF THEIR INVESTMENT.  SO IT'S ONE MORE GAME OR TWO OF MONEY BALL BEFORE THE FAT LADY SINGS " SWEET CAROLINE" OR FRANKY SINGS "NY,NY."

WHERE ARE YOU TED WILLIAMS?  MAYBE IT'S TIME TO DEFROST HIM AND CLONE HIM  8 OR 9 TIMES SO WE DON'T HAVE TO WATCH TRIPLE A BASEBALL AT THE END OF THE SEASON

                           THESE LITTLE TOWN BLUES ARE GETTING ME DOWN.   ROGER MARIS AND MICKEY MANTLE MUST BE TURNING OVER IN THEIR GRAVES.  THE BIG LEAGUES HAVE SO MANY TEAMS AND GAMES THAT IT'S TURNED INTO LITTLE LEAGUE AT THE END OF THE SEASON.
