1. Everyone remember to schedule an appointment with your manicurist after last night? There may be unreasonably long waits for walk in business after last night...
2. Hindsight: Any take-aways from last night's game? Can Buxton get a bunt down? Should Sano catch a pop-up? Does Grossman steal a base? Glad Dozier can clear the monster, and hopefully Sano can keep up the pop... Gibson sure settled down after the first!
3. Foresight: I'll let you all settle into this once the line-ups come out. But last night they mentioned Nolasco has a .500 record on the road. What's up with that? Does it bode?
4. Beantown: Beans are the musical fruit, and Boston is somewhat known for its music. (I did what you see there...) Much of 'em are vacationing at Tanglewood over the summer, so i hear. Y'all may be out of luck. Or perhaps you may have to settle for a less renown scene? They exist, but i'm not an expert, obtusely referencing a favorite scene from The Man Who Wasn't There, bringing me to my final thought...
5. Cinema. There are many movies set in the greater Boston area, but today at least, i have a clear favorite, and will abuse my privilege as intro-write to declare it:
Boondock Saints.
This is how i know that everyone is Irish on St. Paddy's day.
Now go ahead. Name a better movie. I might be wanting a bagel with my coffee...
Gettin' in ahead of the game, i will leave it to some good citizen to acquire merit by adding the line ups to the thread.
Enjoy the game!
