DVR is a beautiful thing… isn’t it? Due to various pre-Easter family commitments, I wasn’t able to watch the game live. But DVR… oh boy, DVR you are my friend. Because when Jeff Niemann allows 5 runs in the first inning before recording an out, you know it’s time to start fast-forwarding. And that’s just what I did.
You might say: “But Scott, you’re supposed to be covering the Rays! How in the world can you accurately do your job if you’re not watching the whole game?” And to those people I say: “Stuff it.”
I’m sure glad I did fast-forward through it, because not only was it a disappointing affair (O Pat Burrell, where art thou?) but it was an incredibly boring one, too.
B.J. Upton can’t get back soon enough. At least he keeps things interesting since you never quite know what dude is going to do on the basepaths next.
