Tico / tica is Spanish slang for a Costa Rican. Don't know the etymology. Kind of like Yank for an American. But not exactly, because Americans don't usually call themselves Yanks; that's done by other English-speaking countries.
I always feel conflicted after I see the previous nights game went 18 innings.
One hand hand its like "****, that must have been epic I wish I had seen that!" but on the other its like "thank god I didn't have to sit through a 7 hour baseball game".
I think the idea is they played two games last night and thus it is 2-2 right now, so if they split the next two, it will go back to Boston tied 3-3 for games 7 and 8.
