Maybe I should make this a contest.
Baseball helps keep me sane when I'm seven time zones away from home. I was very pleasantly surprised when I found out that a game console I'd bought for the new apartment would also allow me to stream baseball games on my TV.
(This is the same TV that I use for video calls with my folks back home. It's official, gang: we're living in the future.)
Anyhoo, while waiting for a ballgame to come on - afternoon games on the East Coast start at 8pm my time, and night games begin at two o'clock the next morning - I read a little something on one blog or another, I forget where.
A commenter confidently predicted that in the upcoming Yankees-Red Sox game, Curtis Granderson would win the game with a walk-off five-run home run in the top of the second.
Like one of those pictures in the old Highlights magazines that you'd find in the doctor's office as a kid: how many things can you spot wrong with this picture?
(Can't share the joke at the water cooler, unfortunately. Another downside of working abroad is that nobody understands baseball here.)
