on Sox and socks in baseball

Houston...we have a problem...

=(

Astros are now down in the Series 3-0 in a heartbreaker of a Game 3, losing in the 14th inning of the longest baseball game in World Series history--5 hours & 41 minutes i believe was the final assessment. they fought back so hard to tie it but it seems there's just no stopping the Sox this year either. problem is it's the wrong Sox. unless the Astros find some RED Sox karma & win the next 4 straight, it's kind of appearing that they will get swept. *sigh* i was SO hoping this would be their year...

speaking of "right" socks & "wrong" socks. here's something i've been meaning to mention for a while now & this presents the perfect opportunity. it really--and i mean REALLY--bugs me when baseball players wear their socks wrong. see this guy below? his socks are WRONG. i think when they wear their pants down over their socks like that, they just look sloppy & like they are playing in their pajamas. there's nothing crisp & athletic & classic looking about that. that look to me just says "i'm a lazy slob"...and sooo many players, even some of my favorites, insist on wearing their socks in this manner.

in case you're wondering THIS (while not necessarily a good photo of looking sleek & put together lol--kinda looks uncomfortable to me!) is the CORRECT way to wear your socks in baseball. nice & high, creating that classic look of a baseball uniform.

and THIS?! i don't even want to go there on this photo that i found while searching for good examples of the right & wrong ways to wear your socks. it shouldn't surprise me though--look how THEY'RE wearing them. *shaking my head*

in unrelated heartbreaking news...that i haven't even been able to talk about before now...my poor Packers lost again. =( will Brett Favre *never* catch a break this season? no matter how well he does, it seems his team does not also show up to play & one man STILL can not win a football game on his own.

and while i had a good week with my football picks, i am now in a huge Fantasy Football slump. i have officially gone from undeafeated & #1 at the end of Week 3 to a pathetic 5th place 3-4 record. speaking of unable to catch a break...
