going to find some happy here, even if it kills me.

following suit from the previous two nights, i saw the first two innings & don't really remember much after that, with the exception of brief moments of lucidity, as i hacked myself awake & heard Don Orsillo saying, yet again, "...ground into a double play, and the top half of the inning is over."

oh. wait. i was trying for the happy. forgot for a second.

so, prior to the game (which in case you haven't figured it out yet, was the NESN broadcast that was aired on MLBtv), i was treated to something laugh-out-loud funny. they showed the Sox dugout. Pedroia was up on the steps, talking to Papi (who was still slightly taller than the wee second baseman). i don't know who said what, but all of a sudden Ortiz bursts out laughing -- and spits an entire mouthful of whatever he was drinking all over Pedroia. watching Big Papi help Dustin mop himself off was priceless.

i love NESN.
