While I was watching the first 4 innings of the game, Rakes and Trot were pretending I was Mt. Everest.There were 539 near misses to the marbles, 17 falls off the ottoman, and 5.7 instances of one of them yelling "Catch me, Dad!" Just so you know, I was giving them a Red Sox pop quiz the whole time, making sure they knew who was up and why a foul ball with 2 strikes didn't mean it was an out.
I'm not sure they got everything I was teaching them, but I do know they realize the Yankees suck, Jeter is a tool, and when Dad yells "Get Out Ball!" it usually means a round of high fives, smiles, and me lapping the living room like Carl Lewis.
Sox win 5-1 and the Rays are given a Fenway Park welcome to Big Boy Baseball.
To quote Eminem:
"The clock's run out, time's up over, blouww!Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity."
This is the AL East, boys.
We play for keeps.

is Rakes pretending to be a Buck? and im really cracking up at YOU pretending to be MT Everest!! LOL
I wasn't pretending to be Mt. Everest, Tex. THEY were.
I seriously need to buy a cup.
//539 near misses to the marbles//
Surprisingly, I had to reread this line to really get the full impact.
Rakes looks like Manny when he did the bull horns or moose antlers to the head in the Manny being Manny montage. Good times.
He sort of does, Redbeard. I didn't pick that up at first. Nice call, man.
Ok, Mr. Tesla quoting Eminem is cracking me up. Did you put your hat on sideways over your hoodie as your typed?
You think Tampa is realizing it's a long season and they don't order your ring until you win it?
You know it, Newt.
Word.
Tampa is a good, young team. But they just played the varsity team and got a reality check.
if your kids think you're Mt Everest...they need a geography lesson...or math lesson.
I'm HUGE in the Dalton house, Tex.
The day they realize I'm not will be devastating. ;)

And this is all that matters.
You've got that part right, Dawn.
Okay, so I had to go to my college placement testing and we made our schedules. My schedule is planned around the Sox. Do I look crazy? My advisor thought I was...
And I have to go with Dawn on this. When they realize that Manny being Manny is between a good thing and a bad thing is something that you can't forget either.
Good point, Krystle.
And you planned your schedule around the Red Sox?
Here I though I was deranged. ;)
Well, after looking at the schedule, it turns out I did. So yeah, now I look TOTALLY deranged.
And what about THAT fight. No Jacoby. Let's say this, if Jacoby ends up on the DL and Coco's suspension is longer, boy OH boy.
I saw the fight right before I had to leave to go to Rakes' T-Ball game.
Man.
Okay, I'm confused...Manny and Youk getting at each other. WHAT IS GOING ON?!
Don and Jerry "getting" at each other was pretty awesome too.
Krystle, I missed it when it happened and just saw the replay. What in the world was THAT about?
Tex, the comment about Ted's kids needing a geography lesson was CLASSIC!!!
