These Olympics are messing up my sleeping patterns more than my usual late night haunts of SportsCenter, that 70s show, and diners, drive-ins, and dives on the Food Network. However, the thing that sucks about the NBC broadcast is that you get like 3 minutes of action for every 57 minutes of sob stories, family history, or interviews with the winners of events we did not even to get watch. They do not let you know what is coming up and when, so you end up watching sync diving or water polo. I mean water polo is fun and all but why would I watch men's water polo. I have enjoyed the beach volleyball IMMENSELY (particularly the womens). However, no baseball and way to much diving for my taste.
That being said it does allow me to be distracted from watching the Red Sox get their brains beat in 2 out of the last 4 games. I mean they warmed us Joey Cora's little brother tonight. Buchholz started tonight and was staked to a 4 run lead which he ended up giving up after a VERY SOLID 2 2/3 innings pitched. He needs to be sent back to Pawtucket and told to start breathing through his eyelids and maybe start wearing a garter belt with a flower in the front. Everyone was talking about his lack of mental capabilities at the beginning of the year, but I believed the hype that he was the next coming of Christ. Lester on the other hand I had my doubts on as he always seemed to have trouble commanding the strike zone. Tells you what an out of shape accountant knows about big league pitching and doubting the insight of people that get paid MILLIONS to measure and evaluate pitching.
Anyway, I will keep staying up late watching Fez and Red Foreman, watching the same SportsCenter at least twice, and will try to see who wins gold in the 10M women's synchronized platform diving coming up next at 2:26 a.m. central time or watching the latest infomercial.
