The Yankees Lost a Game!

Last night was a quiet stay-at-home-doing-laundry-while-watching-Smallville kinda night. We saw the world premiers of heat vision and red kryptonite.

It's funny, all of my Superman knowledge comes from the Christopher Reeve movies. Suddenly I have this urge to learn everything about the entire Superman mythology... the entire official back story as it were. I don't know if that's possible.

According to wikipedia there are actually multiple official story lines. When the comic writers wanted to do something new they invented a new line based on the ol' multiple universe gimmick. (see the new Star Trek movie. No I am not complaining, it just tends to confuse things for hyper nerds like me.)

So in one universe, Clark and Lex Luthor are friends as kids. In another, they meet as adults. Get it? That makes Smallville just about as official canon as anything. Works for me.

Hey, did you hear the stunning news? The Yankees lost a playoff game last night! After squeaking out an extra inning win against the Angels in game two, thanks to a poor pitch in the 11th (I think) and an error in the 13th, the Angels had themselves a walk off win in 11 innings yesterday. How about that! The Yankees still lead the series two games to one, and I am still positive they will be winning the pennant, but Let's Go Angels!

The Phillies spanked the ever loving hell out of the Dodgers in game three and then won a walk off in game four to take a three games to one lead. The Dodgers goose is, shall we say, cooked? I think we shall. In game five all they have to do to stay alive is beat the reigning NLCS and World Series MVP. Nuttin' special, right?

The Bruins are under .500. I am not panicking yet, but one of their strong points last year was supposed to be depth, and the line up they are expected to dress for tomorrow night's game bears a strong resemblance to the Providence Bruins. Not panicking... nope... just feeling a little, "uh-oh" that's all.

Go Angels.
Go Bruins.
Go Superman.
