Sox In Trouble

Top of the sixth inning in game 4 of the ALCS. Rays are up 9-1 and will likely continue to pile on the runs. Apparently, starting pitching counts. Statistically, Tim Wakefield is a reliable pitcher, however, he doesn't seem to perform well on national television. Perhaps that's an understatement. Wakefield was awful tonight. He started off strong with a strikeout, but then proceeded to issue a walk, then back-to-back home runs. The trend continued.

So, unless the Red Sox have another miraculous, '04-like or '07-like ALCS run in them, Tampa Bay will continue on to The World Series. This Rays team is stunningly good.

Today's run was a quick 4.4-miler. It occurred to me, while running, that the disappearance of my motivation corresponded with the failure of the Nike Plus. It's hard to overstate the awesomeness of Nike Plus. I miss it terribly. Unfortunately, I won't get it back until I spring for a new iPod. I've tried everything with the current iPod, but it just won't communicate with the sensor.

Pasta with freshly roasted green chile, sauteed eggplant and zucchini for dinner. I'm going to focus on carbohydrates and vegetables for the rest of the week. Hopefully, I'll get my glycogen levels to where they need to be in time for the race.
