one good, and one bad. Bad news first I guess: Moka done did get sprayed by a skunk. That’s the second time this year that she’s been sprayed. Ick. I walked into the house and the smell seemed almost more than just a smell. It infiltrated my senses and I felt like I was drinking skunk juice. Not a pleasant experience. I actually gagged two times before heading back outside; the air outside was actually fresher outside than inside. Dan was in the bathroom giving Moka a bath, hence the smell having permeated throughout the house. I lit a bunch of vanilla scented candles in my room to try and overpower the *other* scent. I’m not sure how well it worked. Oh well, Moka’s clean and the smell in the house will dissipate.

And now for the good news: THE RED SOX WON THE ALCS!!! After being down 3-0 against the Yankees, they pulled off a record-setting, against-all-odds comeback by winning 4 straight games. Last night they played _really_ well. Couldn’t talk about Damon the other day, but I can now. He hit not just one, but two homeruns last night, one of them a grandslam. The only part of the game that made me nervous was when Pedro came in and pitched an inning, giving up two runs. Flashbacks from last year made me wonder why Francona put him in at all. In the end, though, it didn’t affect the outcome of the game, so it doesn’t really matter. Congratulations Redsox.

Hey Sheffield, if “the Redsox are a walking disaster,” then what are you?? I mean, I would feel pretty low if I got beat by a team I labeled as a walking disaster. Maybe it’ll teach you to keep your mouth shut. Don’t cry too much.
