You don't see that every day.

Pokey Reese, HR.

. . . the hard way.

Inside the park.

Goodness addendum: And then outside, too. Whoa.

Wow. That is impressive, indeed.

Dumb Question

[beltainelady.livejournal.com]

Who's Pokey Reese? I'm assuming some sort of ballplayer?

Dumber Question Why on earth is he called "Pokey"? Wouldn't that be a bad thing in an athlete?

For heaven's sake.

Do you know I reread this about three times trying to figure out what sexual act "Pokey Reese HR" was a euphemism for? Didn't figure out it was sports until I read "announcer babble" as the current music. *sigh*

You know, if you had told me that one Red Sox player would hit 2 homers, and that another would steal two bases, and that the two guys involved were Pokey Reese and Jason Varitek, never in a million years would I have guessed that it would turn out the way it actually did. :)

That was a lovely game to watch in person. S'pecially since th'Mum was with me. Lovelylovely. :)

I always liked Pokey when he played for the Pirates. I thought he was underrated both as an infielder and a hitter. Glad to hear he's doing well with the Sox. An inside-the-park HR yet!

I was wandering around Rhode Island for all of yesterday, so I was lacking news, right?

Then Calluna and I wandered into a gaming store, where three kids and two men were intently playing some card game and ignoring us completely.

I poked around at the comics and the video games, and had to ask 6 people before I figured out the price on the comics. I eventually bought some of 'em. The card players continued to ignore me. I asked the counter guy about the Sox, and he explained that he'd been working all day. The card players ignored us.

I asked the card players, and they were like, "Huh?" One of the kids said, paying me slightly more attention, "9-1. Pokey Reese got two home runs."

And I said, "/Pokey Reese/?!"

Five heads simultaneously turned to look at me. There was this brief shock of, "Hey. She's a person." 'Course, I was leaving just then so it made no difference, but hey.
