Isn’t the Light OK?

In a bizarre turn of events, my wife and I have become avid Red Sox fol­low­ers, since around game 3 or 4 of the ALCS. We spent our Wednes­day “date night” last night watch­ing game 1 of the World Series.

Who are we, and what have we done with us?

Irony of the night: We had been hang­ing out at The Old Goat, Richmond’s local Irish-esque pub, and crowds were begin­ning to file in to watch game 1 of the series. They weren’t able to tune in the begin­ning of the game with their DirecTV set up. Instead, a white screen took the place of FOX, announc­ing “We’re aware that this sta­tion is tem­porar­ily unavail­able. We’ll get it work­ing soon — no need to call!” I don’t know if they ever got it work­ing — the pub owner had decided to lis­ten to the game on the radio before we left.

After fin­ish­ing our drinks, we went home and tuned it in with­out a prob­lem via our ampli­fied rab­bit ears, chuck­ling when­ever they showed a replay via the “DirecTV Dia­mond Cam.” Good times.
