The Sox had an off day so we had to watch some of the Yankee game and root for the Jays. What is it with Joba's hat? Does he have it ironed and starched that way or does someone sit on the thing before he comes in? I was really rooting for him to blow the game in the 8th, but they won but still are a half game in back of us.
While watching the Yankee game, I remembered the old Foxwoods commercials. You know the one, "Take a chance, make it happen, pop the cork, fingers snapping, ..." I remember that commercial being on 30 times per game. I was humming that song at work, while showering, and would even sing along with it when it came on the TV. I could never get it out of my head. I remember Austin not being 1 year old yet and the only way we could get him to go to sleep was by one of us singing him the Foxwoods song. Now some parents would choose a snappy lullaby, but not us. We chose the Foxwoods jingle. We would sing the song and he would get a smile on his face, close his eyes, and slowly drift off to sleep. Probably dreaming of a Red Sox championship.
Remember the Foxwoods commercial where the leprechauns were jumping around? And the one with the chip that got knocked off the table and flew around the casino until finally landing back on the table for the girl to take with her? There was one that was a Wizard of Oz spin on it and the other one I remember where a couple goes to reconnect but spends all their time apart. Now they have the one where the guy is shuffling the cards and makes a mess of things and the one where the guy is eating the cookies that were being used for the 10 dollar chips.
I also like the Sullivan tire guy. His hair is always a complete mess, but at least he is "always here to get you there". Another one is the USRV guy who would walk around on top of the RV's or on one commercial he was riding a horse singing. The games are definitely not same when they are not on NESN!
In other news, two Yankee fans were arrested for trying to steal some souvenirs from Yankee stadium the other day. Just another example of typical Yankee fans.
And then the story of the 13 year old school girl who was on a class trip to Fenway. Evidently, they were on a school field trip to tour Fenway on the Sox off day and she wandered too close to a Red Tailed Hawk nest. The hawk attacked her and she was sent to the hospital with minor cuts but she will be ok. The real reason the hawk attacked though was not because she got too close to the nest, it was because of her name -- Alexis Rodriguez. Even the birds at Fenway don't like people whose name is too similar to Yankee players.
All right, now lets take care of the Blue Jays!
