rivkaMy sister, who does not like sports at all, just called me at 12:17am. She wanted to talk about the game.
"It's so exciting!" she said with a certain tone of helplessness to her voice. "They just needed one more out, and they, they got it!"
She was stuck without a TV, so she watched the whole thing on MLB GameDay. I got to tell her about the blood soaking through Curt Schilling's sock and the A-Rod interference fiasco. And the riot police.
"I can't believe you're up," she said at one point. "Don't you have to work tomorrow?"
"Don't you have to work tomorrow?"
"...Yeah."

Commenting more on the riot police....
Date: 2004-10-20 04:17 am (UTC)On the other hand, I've got our own local derby on Sunday: Hearts (West Edinburgh, mainly protestant/unionist) v Hibernian (East Edinburgh, mainly catholic/irish). It'll be fun....

Date: 2004-10-20 05:56 am (UTC)And yeah, riot police on the field aren't a common element of the baseball experience. Tensions are awfully high between these two teams - not to mention their fans. Last year in the same postseason series, play stopped because of an enormous brawl in which, among other things, an elderly coach for the NY Yankees charged the pitchers' mound to physically attack the Red Sox pitcher.
