when Manchester United was up 2-0 at halftime yesterday, i felt pretty confident. when they were down 4-2 in extra time against Lyon (playing with 10 men), i felt horrible. then, Casemiro got fouled in the box. Bruno scored the penalty kick. then, Casemiro and Bruno made a great little passing play to Kobbie Mainoo to make it 4-4. one minute after that, Casemiro made the perfect pass to Harry Maguire to head in the winner. 3 goals in 7 minutes. holy shit. one of the craziest games i can remember. first European game to have 5 goals scored in extra time. United won 5-4 and 7-6 on aggregate. they advance to the semifinals of the Europa League.
a delightful trip into the dark mind of an evil genius or simply the musings of an asshole

a rainy Sunday...
well, i was hoping to have this blog done before the Manchester derby started today. obviously, that didn't happen. United is losing right now, 1-0.
it has been raining since last night. i'm guessing the pain finally got to me and i didn't as much sleep as i simply passed out from it. good times.
the Dayton Flyers won last night at home against #6 Marquette, 71-63. considering they were down 13 more than once in the game, i was really happy Dayton found a way to win.

up too early on a Saturday...
so, i got up this morning at 6:50 AM. i was hoping to sleep to around 9. so much for that. the contractor hasn't called this morning, so i'm assuming he hasn't found the part he needs to make sure the dishwasher doesn't leak. god forbid the company actually call a plumber to do this.
the New York Rangers won last night at home over Anaheim, 5-1. they play at Boston tonight.

i woke up to good news...
so when i woke up this morning i got the alert that Aaron Judge was coming back to the Yankees on a 9 year $360 million dollar contract. that made me happy.

been a busy boy...
so, i got the other order of baseball cards i got from Small Business Saturday yesterday. these were from Repacked Wax in Akron, Ohio. i was thrilled with what i got. the highlight had to be the 1966 Topps Don Drysdale. i think the 4 best cards in the packs i got were worth more than what i paid for 10 packs. that is why i will always try to buy cards from Repacked Wax.
the Dayton Flyers won yesterday over Northern Illinois, 79-41. they will have their first true road game coming up on Wednesday at SMU. that should be a good measuring stick to see how good they really are now.

just a little snow...
i think we got maybe a little over an inch of snow. hell, i didn't go outside until it had all stopped. i had to get the paper and mail, plus the trash can and recycle bin. i put some salt out on the walk up to the front door as i know there are some packages coming. as for the driveway, fuck it, it's going to get warmer and it will melt.
The Voice did not go like i wanted to last night. as soon as the guy i thought was going to win finished 5th, i knew some bullshit was in order. of course, he was black as was the woman who finished 4th. i said to my mother, watch, that little fucking kid is going to win. sure enough. i guess the producers must have thought we gave a shit about Gwen vs. Blake in the final. boo.
