Playoffs Outsider: No, I didn’t want to see the no-hitter honey

Playoffs Outsider is written by a Mets fan with issues.  Another October with no team to watch, I turn to the Yankees in despair despite teasing Mr. Sunshine (my Yankees friend) all day about Wild Cards and 4 seeds.    At least the Yankees are from New York, and at least I am familiar with the players.   Playoffs Outsider is financially motivated to root for the Phillies (Stubhub).   All these things I do are wrong.    Playoffs Outsider is also called by the ghosts of his ancestors to root for the Formerly New York Giants.

So there I am.   Another day at the real job put to bed.  A day where I had to do work-work and not feed my twitter heroin addiction. Good thing I had loaded up the blog with posts.   I catch on that Halladay has a no-hitter and even on the radio I can tell he has great stuff.

I’m driving home and figure I’ll catch the last three innings.

Rrrrrrring.

Cell-phone.  Mrs. Mets Police.  Her car won’t start.  I have to go meet her and jump the car.  Awesome.

Nope, I had no interest in seeing the first playoff no-hitter in my lifetime.  Why would I want to see that.  At least I got to hear it.

Now I’m home and fried.  I just want to watch some baseball and we have this dumb 8:37 start.  When will the TV executives catch on that I’d rather see the end of a game than the beginning.   7pm starts all summer long, and I rarely see first pitch.   I usually see the end.   (Well except for all the games in August and September).  If Monday Night Football started at 5:30 I’d love it.   Maybe I should move to SF and rejoin the Formerly New Yorks.   I could cut the middle and wear an old black NY Giants cap.

I haven’t watched a pitch yet and I’m already sick of Conan mentions.  I don’t know if there have been any but I’m so sick of Frank Caliendo mentions from whenever that was that my brain is trained to hate.  I actually like Conan.

Oh, and dinner.  There was none.  My old backup of Lucky Charms?  None.  (Anyone can blog, being a fat blogger takes effort like this).  Double backup Frosted Flakes?  Junior finished them.   So Raisin Bran and a cranky blog post for dinner.

Playoffs Outsider is leaving now…off to blog about the Mets and use the picture in picture to watch Yankees and maybe Hawaii 5-0…fall asleep in the 4th inning and wake up tomorrow to see how C.C. did.

UPDATE 8:39pm:  I know I just said I don’t care about first pitch but I just missed first pitch.  Why?  She’s lost.   The directions I gave her are bad.   By “me” I mean Google.

UPDATE 10:12.   I made it until the bottom of the 5th.  Sleepy.  Not a Yankees fan.  Don’t care. Mmmmm sleep.  Good night Mets fans.  I have a good rant loaded for the morning, see ya then!
