It might be a terrible movie, but when we actually have reasons to be proud (and not just enthusiastic) of the hometown five…it’s pretty awesome. With that in mind:
Effin’ sweet. The Patriots, Red Sox, Revolution, and even the Bruins are doing alright, too.
Love you all madly,
It’s entertaining, and it’s factual. Two things Fox News can’t claim. Zing!
Fantastic news…Jacoby Ellsbury stole a base in the World Series. You know what that means, don’t you? Well, if you don’t, Royce Clayton and Coco Crisp sure do:
If you didn’t pick up on that, Jacoby essentially just bought everyone in America a taco. Freakin’ awesome. KDizzle, where are you? We have a road trip to make…For the rest of you, enjoy hardening your arteries in the best way possible…
We’re not here to mess around
Boston, you know we love you madly
Hear the crowd roar to your sound
Don’t blame us if we ever doubt you
You know we couldn’t live without you
Thanks to Elise Amendal at the AP for the photo…
To the Rockies and their fans…welcome to our fair little hamlet by the sea. Here’s a quick little video primer for you out-of-towners:
My apologies…it’s been quite some time. In all fairness, I do have an excuse and a make-up present. First, the present. This article is the most humorous thing I have read all week, despite being based on rather tragic events.
Enjoy your present? A little sugar makes the medicine go down, so here’s my excuse…(No, this isn’t one of those “my dog ate my homework” stories). I wish a dog had been involved, that would have been a lot easier to deal with – I’d just rewrite my homework. There’s no rewriting this development…my laptop currently looks like this:
Except featuring slightly less Apple-like content. I have no idea how it happened, and I am rather peeved with the whole situation, since it will cost me plenty of $$$. Money I don’t really have the luxury of spending, to be quite honest. But c’est la vie.
Otherwise, life is pretty decent. The job goes well, the Red Sox won the ALDS, I am taking care of some other stuff outside the workplace, and now it’s the weekend. More news to come soon, but first, I have to get my full attention back on Game One and the rest of my extracurricular activities. Talk to you soon, folks…
P.S. – No iTunes info tonight since that’s on the laptop. Hopefully that feature will be coming back soon…
No, not Batman and Robin…Randy Moss and Tom Brady. I know they have only played a handful of games together, but seriously, is this one of the most impressive QB-WR duos of all time?
Thus far this season, Randy Moss has just made every DB covering him look like a middle schooler trying to cover Charlie Tweeder. He is just straight clowning them. The Patriots are just dominant: according to ESPN they have now scored in 36 consecutive quarters. They have scored in every segment of 9 consecutive games – how ridiculous is that? More Patriots analysis to come later…
Also, I don’t know if you heard, but the Red Sox know how to party:
I hope to see a lot more of that in the next month or so…

Method Man – Judgement Day
(Yeah, Roy Lichtenstein and I were personal friends – what of it?)
If I am a Yankee, or an Indian, or any other team in the playoff hunt, or, for that matter, a fan of such franchises, I would be terrified right now. Not only are the Red Sox starting to gel – (i.e. J.D. Drew and Julio Lugo are hitting at the same time) but David Ortiz, the “greatest clutch player in the history of the game” is starting to reclaim his throne after a shaky start to the season. For evidence, peep the video of his walk-off dinger to beat the Devil Rays. Sure, it wasn’t one of the bombs that have become his calling card, but as they say, it’ll look like an upper-deck shot in the box score. (Of course, there is no upper-deck at Fenway, but I digress into semantics). Actually, while I am digressing, MLB should really take the stick out of their ass and allow game footage to be archived on YouTube – it would be win-win for MLB and fans alike.
Anyhow, moving from business to leisure – the Sox are clearly playing some pretty good baseball, and Big Papi is at the center of it all. If I were an American League or AAAA (aka NL) pitcher, I would be quaking in my boots. With a playoff rotation of Beckett, Matsuzaka, Schilling, and Wakefield/No-hitter Buchholzl/Lester, and a bullpen that numbers 3! All-Stars (Okajima, Gagne, and Papelbon), opposing pitchers will not have much margin for error. Facing a lineup that includes Big Papi, Dustin Pedroia, Mike Lowell, the red-hot rook Jacoby Ellsbury, and the speedy/dangerous Covelli Loyce “Coco” Crisp, that safety zone becomes razor thin. Next step? A showdown with the Yankees – see you at the Fens…

Dropkick Murphys – For Boston
P.S. This guy, who you may recall as one of the greatest right-handed hitters of all-time, is reportedly coming back reeeeally soon.
On deck, you scabrous dogs! Man the braces! Let down and haul to run free. Now…bring me that horizon. And really bad eggs? Drink up, me hearties, yo ho.
(If you don’t get it, it may be because you didn’t realize the the equal sign is a link – tricky, huh?)
I know that question might be taboo, as Dave Chappelle has so distinctly pointed out:
However, with that being said, this isn’t about national politics. Unlike the mainstream media, who are breathlessly reporting on every time Hilary Clinton kowtows to big business or Rudy Giuliani references 9/11 (which both happen every minute of every day) I realize that other Presidential election is still a year away. As such, it not worth exhaustive discussion or analysis. With that being said, there is a very important election going on currently – the election for the President of Red Sox Nation.
It is serious responsibility to be the chief spokesperson for the most passionate and widespread fan base in American sports. As such, it is important to get to know the front-runners a little better. In the inaugural discussion, we will examine the campaign of Mr. Peter Gammons, a longtime Red Sox fan and one of the most knowledgeable baseball writers of all time.
His platform, as articulated on RedSox.com, is as follows:
If elected, I make 10 promises:
Sounds like a pretty comprehensive, entertaining, and effective platform to me. There are plenty of other worthy candidates, so I am not officially endorsing Gammons as of yet, but he is off to a rip-roaring start. Good luck to all the candidates, and congratulations to the Red Sox for winning again tonight – keep it up, boys…
