After getting home from work today I found it rather hot in our house. Turns out our AC is broken. And wouldn’t you know it, this is the hottest week so far this year. I hope the AC repair people come quick! I’ve got to run, it’s time to go to bed and sweat.
Update: The AC is working now! We had a clog with the water draining which shorted the unit out.
Tom Glavine just won his 300th game tonight against the Chicago Cubs. I’ve got mixed feelings about this. As a Braves fan I was pretty upset when he left via free agency that he went to the hated Mets. There is only one team that Braves fans hate more than the Mets and that’s the Yankees. I was sad to see him leave the Braves, but to leave for the Mets just downright hurt. Many Braves fans feel the same way I do.
On the other hand I’m very happy that Glavine won his 300th game. Tom Glavine meant a lot to the Braves during their run in the 1990’s and I was along for the entire ride. I think the only thing I’m mad about him winning his 300th game was that it wasn’t in a Braves uniform. The economics of baseball has changed dramatically in the last 15 years and I know why the Braves couldn’t keep him (thanks Time Warner).
But tonight, I salute you Tom Glavine. You joined an elite group of pitchers tonight, including your old buddy, and former Brave, Greg Maddux. Congratulations on a fantastic career thus far. Hopefully one day I’ll see you in the halls of Cooperstown.
I just got back from the second play I’ve ever seen and it was a pretty good time. My Way, at the Highland Playhouse, is a tribute to Frank Sinatra. The play spanned his entire life with different songs sung to represent periods of his life. All in all, a good way to spend the evening!
