Ugh. The Evil Empire Still Reigns
For some reason, as I waited for my Friday night to kickoff, I had the UT baseball game on the television while watching The Wire season 3 DVD on my laptop with ear phones. I find baseball too boring to watch by itself, so this laptop/TV multitasking was working well since I could casually glance at the TV to keep up to date.
If Texas won, they head to the World Series Final.
They were down two one run in the bottom of the 9th so I was happy. Giddy, in fact. Then I glanced up a couple of minutes later to see the score tied. Huh? I hit the TIVO rewind and see they hit a home run with no one on. Sheesh. Well, maybe they'll lose it in extra innings. Back to The Wire and Stringer Bell.
But then I glanced up a minute later and see the Longhorns celebrating on the field. That the? Here's the video of what I saw on replay (with the always over the top Craig Way doing the play by play from the Longhorn Radio Network.) I'll have to admit, that's pretty exciting.
But you'll have a chance to root against the residents of the Death Star tonight when Game One is played against LSU.
