We have a very busy weekend ahead of us, so we had mapped out our plans for this evening. After work, meet at the pet store, buy a new fish tank and table to replace the one that was ruined by the leaking water, stop at the grocery store, come home to build the table and then start refilling the fish tank.
But then we were both held up at work, so we were running later than we wanted to. Greg just opened up the box to start putting together the table, and he was missing some random little plastic peg. The pet store is closed, and this was the only table in the store in this style anyway. So now he's off to Home Depot to search for a comparable little peg so he can make the table so we can fill the fish tank and return the fish to their home.
Despite less than ideal conditions, they appear to be doing swimmingly. Even the guy who might have had a broken spine. Good thing Greg isn't superstitious; otherwise, they might have to stay in the bucket until the ALCS is over.
Meanwhile, back in baseball land, things seem relatively quiet. The Phillies had a practice day, and everyone is concerned how they will react on Wednesday night after nearly a week off. They've just won 20 out of 25 games; the last thing they need is a six-day vacation to kill that momentum. Here's hoping they stay focused and sharp over the next few days. Personally, I'm going crazy already with no Phillies to watch. I miss 'em when they're not playing.
The Red Sox flew back to Tampa to finish up their series this weekend. Will the magic from Thursday night spill over into Saturday? After that comeback, it's a toss-up. Greg's official opinion: Whoever wins Game 6 wins the series.
Barring any other aquatic emergencies, Greg will be back tomorrow to detail the big game.
