Red Sox Game = No fun for poor people

The Boston Red Sox historically have one of the highest payrolls in the bigs, with one of the smallest ball parks, and the best damn Italian sausage, peppers and onions around. I mean you can buy a sausage anywhere around the park and it is still incredible. Plus the peppers and onions just make it one of tastiest foods to ever come in a cow intestine...Back to what I was saying...poor people. I've been poor and let me tell you something....being poor sucks. One of the suckiest things about being poor is that going to a red sox game is no fun. Let's do some quick math and see if the equation can in any way equal fun.

Box Tickets for 6 (poor people have a lot of kids even though they can't afford them...good thing the state can) ($645.50) + 6 Fenway Franks ($30.00) + 6 Bottled waters ($18.00) + 10 Beers for Dad because he likes to drink and hates his wife($80.00) + Parking (Free) they know a guy who works at Hess = Dad working the overnight shift at the box factory for 1 month + Mom takes an extra shift at Denny's + the sacrifice of the oldest son quiting school to sweep floors + little Sally fails spelling for the third time (this will eventually lead to Sally becoming a stripper and developing an "addictive personality") + Dad drinks more and talks about leaving this S-hole for Mexico and a job on a fishing boat

So as you can see in this simple equation Red Sox Games DO NOT EQUAL Fun For Poor People.

Red Soxs Games actually equal the dismantling of a moral family and the reason why no one likes walking down Dot Ave....ever.

Jim Nance - "Hello friends..."

If you caught the Masters this past weekend, I’m hoping you caught what I did. No, I’m not referring the usual Saturday night scare, but the voice that was describing Augusta and The Masters. The voice that describes every bad shot which ends up being a “marvelous display of artful movement”, I’m referring to Jim Nance. The way he uses words and the flow of the conversation is breathtaking. I doubt he even needs cue cards or a prompter to give him his lines. I found myself mesmerized by Jimmy describing the views, the moments, and even scenery as if he was reading an Edgar Allen Poe poem. I mean beautiful….and the man’s talking golf here. I’m pretty sure when I expire I want Jim Nance reading my eulogy so that way I sound interesting and not useless. The way he could describe my Friday nights of lying on the couch drinking cheap beer and dipping Doritos into blue cheese would make it as through I was a trend-setter or possibly my dipping skills comparable to “life changing” or “As good as it gets!”

Please see below for some memorable quotes from the great, the astonishing, the unsurpassed, the preeminent ….. Jim Nance.

“The Bear...has come out of hibernation.” (final round of 1986 Masters, referring to Jack Nicklaus)

“There it is, a win for the ages!” (1997 Masters, referring to Tiger Woods)

“Is it his time?...Yes!..At long last!” (2004 Masters, as Phil Mickelson made the tournament-winning shot for his first major)

“Watch his life change right here.” (2004 Masters, while watching Mickelson's reaction to his winning putt on videotape)

“A tradition unlike any other, The Masters on CBS.”

The Masters

Does it feel like that whenever Tiger is playing on Sunday’s, it’s as if everyone is watching him to win? Think of one other dominate person/team that everyone cheers on to win…every single time. No one cheers for the Yankees to win every time they are won, or the Celtics (Boston fans would disagree). But to me it seems that the feeling in golf whenever Tiger is close on Sunday, announcers/bars/friends are coming up with every scenario possible for Tiger to win. For example on Sunday, when Immelman hit into the bunker on 17, the feeling of ‘wait a minute, if he shanks another and double bogey’s here, it’s in his head; he’s done. He’ll bogey 18 for a playoff’. But instead Trevor played a beautiful shot out of the bunker and went on to win. It just continues to baffle me how it seems the dominate player is cheered on to win. And…on top of that, it’s considered a bad week if Tiger does not win. He came in 2nd and it was considered a “surprise” or “let down” that he couldn’t put on the green jacket again.

Yes, I too was among the fans who were cheering on Tiger to win. Can anyone think of any other player/team who dominates the sport, who is consistently cheered on to win every single time?

Mario Chalmers' Big Shot

Chalmers' shot capped the Jayhawks' steely nine-point comeback in the final 2:12 of regulation on their way to a 75-68 overtime triumph. It was the blow that broke an excellent Tigers squad -- a Tigers squad that turned the school's first championship into a stunning championship choke.

"You have a lead like that," coach John Calipari said, "you're supposed to win the game."

The emotional whiplash that followed Chalmers' 3-pointer with 2.1 seconds remaining will be felt for years on both campuses. Memphis will always love a team that finished 38-2 -- but always wince at the way it unraveled at the very end. And giddy Kansas now has another name to add to its list of all-time heroes: Clyde Lovellette, Wilt Chamberlain, Danny Manning …

Mario Chalmers.

Mike Vick, Prison Football

When they choose sides for football games in the yard at the United States Penitentiary in Leavenworth, Kan., Michael Vick is the popular pick.

Twice for the same game, it seems.

In an interview with the New York Daily News, Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank said Vick is playing ball in prison to keep his body in shape, his arm limber and to pass the time.

"Apparently, there was a prison football team and he played quarterback for both sides," Blank told the Daily News in Monday's editions.

The suspended Falcons quarterback is serving a 23-month prison term at Leavenworth's minimum security satellite prison camp after pleading guilty last August to a federal dogfighting conspiracy. Vick, who was sentenced in December, is projected to be released in July 2009.

Blank, who signed Vick to a 10-year, $130 million contract in 2004, has been communicating with Vick through letters, which Vick initiated. The quarterback has written that he is making 12 cents an hour washing pots and pans and playing a lot of football.

"He's written me a couple of times," Blank told the Daily News. "I've written him back, he's stayed in touch."

Blank also said Kevin Winston, the Falcons' senior director of player development, has visited Vick on several occasion. Blank told the newspaper he has no such plans, although it's evident he still has a soft spot for his exiled quarterback.

"I just try to be supportive and as understanding as I can be," Blank told the Daily News. "He talks about the process he is going through and what he has learned, the lessons of life, how he's going to come out a different person.

"He's sorry he has affected so many people in a negative way -- the league, our club, our fans. He feels awful about that. The letters sound quite sincere to me. From a mental standpoint, he sounds good."

Vick will go to trial on state dogfighting charges in Virginia on June 27.

Red Sox Game Day

Dice-K in my opinion looked ok last time out but this time, I need a little more out of him. Matsuzaka (0-0, 3.60 ERA) only allowed two hits in five innings, but walked five and allowed two runs while struggling with a high pitch count that plagued him for much of last season.

I am also very interested in the out field which will have Manny in left, Coco in Center and Jacoby in right. J.D. Drew will start tomorrow. Last year Oakland was a hous eof horrors for the sox where they dropped three of four in Oakland in 2007, with Blanton taking a tough loss in Boston's lone win, a 1-0 game in which Curt Schilling came within one out of a no-hitter.

I was at the game in which Wakefield lost in Oakland and it seemed our bats just couldn't get rolling. lets hope this game goes different.

Boston Red Sox News

So the Boston Red Sox have been making news today, as it seems the team has let Doug ‘I am the best softball player’ Mirabelli go. First of all, who’s gonna catch Wakefield’s tumbler? And more importantly, who’s going to walk up to the plate after a weekend of playing D-league softball tourny’s and swinging for the fences? Dougy, that’s who!! At this point we’ll never see his book titled, “Body by Dougy!”

In other pleasant news, a Sox player is dating a model who hates clothes. His father must be proud and bragging to the other ballplayer’s father’s.

THE TRUTH HURTS

so depressed

I can't even post about the PATS.

DAD??????

FITCHBURG -- A man found with 73 bags of what was believed to be crack cocaine hidden in his butt tried unsuccessfully to plead guilty to cocaine trafficking charges Thursday in Fitchburg District Court, and was instead held on $50,000 bail.

OTHER NOTABLE EXERPS FROM THE SENTINAL AND ENTERPRISE

"He has a history of drug arrests and conviction," McGourty said. NO WAY!!??

Scott has drug possession convictions in 2005 and 2006, and dispite sincere efforts to kill a cop in 2007, Robert Scott stayed out of jail for 1 year.

Police Lt. Kevin O'Brien said police found the cocaine in Scott's pants and up his rectum while he was being searched. Yeah, get some O'Brien

"When he came here (to the police station) we found he had 73 individually wrapped bags of cocaine that he tried to stick up his butt," O'Brien said Wednesday night. Okay O'Brien, we get it. Guys got a lot of crack in his crack. Geeeesh

The moral of the story is....Dont carry 73 bags of rock to the grocery store when you have a warrent out for you arrest. Also, dont stick those bags up your butt. Thats just Gay!

Mike And Mike Roast : Dana Jacobson

Mike And Mike Roast Video: Dana Jacobson Notre Dame ESPN Suspension
by Mike Baron


ESPN anchor Dana Jacobson has been suspended for a 7 day period following the inappropriate comments she made about Notre Dame during a roast for ESPN radio hosts Mike Green and Mike Golic.
Unfortunately, we do not yet have the Dana Jacobson video, but the first drips & drabs of footage from the Mike And Mike roast has hit the web.

The roast took place January 11th in Atlantic City. Dana Jacobson stumbled to the podium with a bottle of vodka in her hand, drank a bit here and there, and then proceeded to curse and mock Notre Dame.

Jacobson is a Michigan graduate. Mike Golic attended Notre Dame.



This is how it happened:

According to reports, Dana reportedly made some offensive remarks about the school as well as the famous image known as "Touchdown Jesus" that were clumsy attempts to poke fun at Mike Golic's days at Notre Dame. She reportedly said, "F**k Touchdown Jesus!"

ESPN anchor Dana Jacobson made an absolute fool of herself, swilling vodka from a Belvedere bottle, mumbling along and cursing like a sailor as Mike & Mike rested their heads in their hands in embarrassment. [Comedian Eddie] Griffin came to the podium to defend her after she was booed by the crowd. [Comedian Jeff] Ross eventually had to pull her off stage, too.

Dana Jacobson has been suspended as a result of the inappropriate comments. Dana Jacobson issued the following apology:

"I am sorry. My remarks about Notre Dame were foolish and insensitive. I respect all religions and did not mean anything derogatory by my poorly chosen words. I also deeply regret the embarrassment I've caused ESPN and Mike and Mike. My actions at the roast were inappropriate and in no way represent who I am. I won't make excuses for my behavior, but I do hope I can be forgiven for such a poor lack of judgment."

Patriots' Brady seen wearing cast on foot

Patriots' Brady seen wearing cast on foot
Quarterback says injury sustained in win over Chargers is 'nothing serious'
Tom Brady will try to lead the Patriots to their fourth Super Bowl title.


updated 12:13 a.m. ET, Tues., Jan. 22, 2008
NEW YORK - Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was photographed Monday with what appears to be walking cast on his right foot.

The Boston Herald and Boston Globe had the photos — credited to infphoto.com — on their Web sites. A video of Brady walking with a slight limp from an SUV to girlfriend Gisele Bundchen’s apartment in New York is available on TMZ.com.

The Patriots beat San Diego 21-12 on Sunday and play the New York Giants in the Super Bowl in two weeks.



“Ah, you know, there’s always bumps and bruises. I’ll be ready for the Super Bowl,” Brady said Monday during his weekly radio appearance on WEEI — before the photo and video emerged — when asked if his leg was injured. “I’m not worried about that. I’m not missing this one. I’d have to be on a stretcher to miss this one. There will be treatment this week. In games like this, you get a little nicked up. It’s nothing serious.”

Patriots spokesman Stacey James wrote in an e-mail to the AP late Monday night that the team had no comment on the photos.

Brady threw three interceptions against the Chargers in one of the worst performances of what has been a record-breaking season for him. Brady has started in 124 consecutive games, the third longest streak by a quarterback in NFL history.

Nice Hat!

WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR CHRISTMAS????????????

INDIANAPOLIS UPDATE

PATRIOTS MADE A GREAT DECISION ON DEION BRANCH

FROM ESPN:

KIRKLAND, Wash. -- Seattle Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren said Tuesday that wide receiver Deion Branch will have surgery on his left knee to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament.

At his end-of-the-season news conference at the team's headquarters in Kirkland, Holmgren said the six-year veteran got a second opinion from Dr. James Andrews, of Birmingham, Ala., and is expected to be out at least nine months and likely longer.

Andrews will perform the surgery in Alabama "soon," Holmgren said.

Branch was injured in the Seahawks' season-ending playoff loss at Green Bay on Saturday.

In addition, Holmgren says Jim Mora, an assistant coach with the Seahawks, was headed to Washington, D.C., Wednesday to interview for the Redskins' head coaching job left vacant by Joe Gibbs' retirement.

"I think he is an excellent football coach," Holmgren said Tuesday from Seahawks headquarters in Kirkland, Wash. "He is a great communicator. He has great enthusiasm. The players respect him -- that's all good."

Mora is among five known candidates to replace Joe Gibbs, who resigned last week. He's seeking his second head coaching job, having gone 27-23 over three seasons with the Atlanta Falcons, including an appearance in the NFC championship, before he was fired a year ago.

"He and I have talked a lot about Atlanta," Holmgren said. "What he thought happened in Atlanta, what I thought happened in Atlanta. And, if you remember what happened the first time around, you should be better."

Despite interest from 2 teams, Pats' McDaniels won't interview for coaching jobs

Despite interest from 2 teams, Pats' McDaniels won't interview for coaching jobs

New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, who in only his second season in the position presided over a unit that established new league records for touchdowns and points scored, has decided he will not interview for any head coach vacancies this year, ESPN.com has learned.

Both the Atlanta Falcons and Baltimore Ravens this week sought permission from Patriots officials to meet with McDaniels about their respective openings. Under league rules, New England essentially had to honor the requests, since the interviews would have been for a head coaching position.

But McDaniels, who also serves as quarterbacks coach, did not have to agree to the interviews, and has decided in general not to pursue any head coach positions for the 2008 season.

"I am very grateful for the chance to interview for NFL head coaching positions, but I have decided not to pursue those opportunities at this time," McDaniels, 31, said in a statement Thursday. "I plan to focus all my attention on our postseason preparation."

Franchises seeking new head coaches can interview assistants from clubs with playoff byes this week, but the sessions must take place by Saturday. After that, coaches from playoff franchises can only be interviewed after their teams are eliminated, or during the "open" week between the conference championship games and the Super Bowl.

McDaniels, 31, along with Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator Jason Garett, Cowboys assistant head coach Tony Sparano and Indianapolis Colts assistant head coach Jim Caldwell are arguably the hottest assistant coaches in the league right now. And it is only natural, given the landmark season the Patriots have enjoyed and McDaniels' prominent role in their success, that he would receive considerable attention.

But McDaniels has decided the time is not yet right for him to pursue head coaching jobs, and he will remain with New England for at least another season.

Coach Bill Belichick, during his Thursday news conference with the local media, declined to discuss whether teams had sought permission to meet with McDaniels. However, league sources confirmed that the Ravens and the Falcons both had faxed such requests. Belichick certainly feels that McDaniels' future is as a head coach.

McDaniels joined the New England organization as a personnel assistant in the scouting department. He became the quarterbacks coach in 2004 and was named offensive coordinator in January 2006.

Patriots Highlights

JOKE OF THE WEEK

John Madden was in Green Bay to announce a football game one weekend
when he noticed a special telephone near the Packers' bench. He asked
QB Favre what it was used for and was told it was a hotline to God.
John asked if he could use it. Favre replied, 'Sure, but it will cost you $200.
John scratched his head, then thought, what the heck, I could use some
help picking games. He pulled out his wallet and paid $200. John's picks
were perfect that week.

The next week, John was in Indianapolis when he noticed that same kind
of phone on the Colts bench. He asked what the telephone was for and
Manning told him, 'It's a hotline to God if you want to use it, it will cost
you $500.' Recalling the previous week, John pulled out his wallet and
made the call. John's picks were perfect again that week.

Last weekend, John was in Foxborough, when he noticed the same kind of
telephone by the Pats' bench. He asked Tom Brady, 'Is that the
hotline to God?' Tom said, 'Yes, and if you want to use it, it will cost you
50 cents.' John looked incredulously at Brady and said, 'Wait a second,
I just paid $200 in Green Bay and $500 in Indianapolis to use the
same phone to God! Why do the Patriots only charge 50 cent?
Tom replied, 'Because in New England, it's a local call...
Welcome to God's Country.'.................

Sean Taylor

So Sean Taylor is dead. I know we are all hurting badly so lets talk about it. The NFL is mourning the death of an outstanding citizen, someone that really gave back to the community, a modern day role model....for the future inmates of America! I mean come on! Who cares? This guy was nothing more than a good football player. Thats where the buck stops. The only reason why you should miss this guy if you aren't his direct family or friend is because now the Skins defense really sucks. Sure i feel bad for his family but lets stop making this guy out to be a saint. He has contributed nothing good to this world other than the ability to lay out a punter in the Pro Bowl. CLASSY Sean, real classy. There's a difference between liking someone because they pick the ball off and liking them because they work the soup line on thanksgiving for the poor. Sean Taylor wasn't the soup kitchen guy. He was the bad ass gangster that was real good at playing football. That's it. So lets just give it up already.

Bill Belichick's Road Show

Bill Belichick's Road Show

PATS VS Eagles

Green Bay - Cheese'balls'

As I sat here thinking what sound a platypus makes, I began to ponder what a great epoch we are experiencing in the sports world right now.
As I slowly one-finger type this rant, we are seeing Boston teams display the greatness, the panache even that the great teams of the mid 80's flaunted. The Celtics are undefeated; the Patriots are turning into the Yankees circa late 90's. Come on, every one remembers Scott Brosius and how Kevin Youkillis is turning into the poor man's Scotty B. Too soon?
I'm pretty sure there's a soccer team that is playing for some title, where the winner gets a free tee shirt!
Else where the Yankees are soon to sign A-Rod, the baseball player in all the land; where in the new contract he gets partial ownership of everyone's future spawns. Barry Bonds made the news again although this time he has nothing to do with steroids….honestly….ok, maybe a little…..fine, YES! Can this guy ever keep any needles out of his ass?
College football is continuing to display and confirm that no one on any campuses does homework and or study. No team has had the domination of the Miami hurricanes of the 90's. So instead they tear down their stadium. I bet it was clean though,….cause I'm sure that many of their past players are working the janitorial team at the stadium.
College basketball is underway, but instead of seeing Dwight Howard playing for U. of Vermont (personal dream), I'm seeing D1 teams…(yes I said Division One, ..did you hear that college football…asses) are losing to lowering division teams.
So again, with all that's going on in the world of sportspersons, please remember the children…I know I have.

One last thought, do penguins have knees???!!??

Celtics opening night INTRO

PATS VS. COLTS

On Sunday, the Patriots and Colts will meet in a battle of undefeated teams, which may turn out to be a preview of this year's AFC title game. These two conference foes have become quite familiar with each other over the last few years and Sunday's game has the makings of a classic.
So far this season, the Patriots have mercilessly rolled over all comers, behind the brilliant play of Tom Brady, who seems poised to rewrite the NFL record book this year. The Patriots' brilliance has largely overshadowed the incredible season the defending Super Bowl champs are having. The Colts, and their star quarterback Peyton Manning, can remedy that with a win in Indianapolis.

As the big game nears, we want to know which team SportsNation thinks has the edge. Can the Colts' defense hold the Patriots' offense? Which team has the better quarterback? And which player will have the biggest impact on the game?

Couture Explains Reasons For Walking Away

Cowboys? More like Cow...noise!?!?!?

Yeah I said cow noise. Mooooooooo. Which could possibly sound like Booooooooo if you weren't listening intently. And that's what the cowboys should NOT be getting. Boooo's. Are ya lost yet? Are ya? Let me explain. The Cowboys should not be discouraged by the 48-27 loss to the NE Patriots. They were suppose to lose. Everyone is suppose to lose to these guys. Their friggin great. Tom Brady is a champion, Randy is Dandy, Wes is white and really fast, Dante is enfuego, the o line is near flawless which puts any running back in a prime position, and our defense is just better than yours. So lets give the cowboys a little credit. I mean before this game 99% of the media was in love with the fact (opinion really) that Tony Romo was the second coming of Brett Favre. Don't forget what has made Brett Favre so incredible. He's been playing for 135 years and never missed a game. Romo has played 10 or so...Let's get real. The kid is pretty good and pulls some good looking girls but he's got a long way to go. The Dallas D sacked Brady 3 time and forced a fumble for a touch down. That's better than all 5 teams before them combined. Dallas did a lot of good things I'm sure would be good enough to beat anyone else out there. So good job Dallas probably see you in the super bowl. Also, Wade Phillips father's name is Bum... Bum Phillips. That's just funny.

Texas Toast

The Patriots pounded the Cowboys today by a score of 48-27. The lopsided score gives no indication that the game was close in the third quarter and that the 'Boys had, in fact, taken a 24-21 lead. It also doesn't include 2 touchdowns - both by Randy Moss - that were taken away, one on a challenge and one by offensive pass interference.

In the process, three much-ballyhooed matchups never really materialized. The first was the obvious pairing of two undefeated teams and the rampant speculation that Dallas could stop the New England offense. Once Tom Brady passed for 3 touchdowns in the first half alone, that speculation seemed to be proven incorrect and New England scored seemingly at will to take complete control of the game late in the third.

The second matchup involves a pair of 81s, Moss and Dallas wide receiver Terrell Owens. They both had 6 catches, Moss for 59 yards and Owens for 66, with one TD each. Moss had the two nullified scores but the reality is that neither figured prominently, at least statistically speaking. Moss had a greater impact on the outcome of the game, however, as the double- and triple-teaming freed both Wes Welker and Donte Stallworth from coverage. Welker went 11-124, 2 TDs and Stallworth had 7 catches for 136 yards including a 69 yard throw-and-catch that was New England's longest pass play of the year. By contrast, none of Dallas' other receivers gained more than 66 yards.

The last was the contest between the alleged "cheater", Bill Belichick, and the "bleater", Wade Phillips. By now, most people have probably heard about the comments Phillips allegedly made to Sports Illustrated columnist, Peter King; comments which the head coach now says that he never made. Admittedly, King is becoming a boring one-note wonder with his incessant harping on Videogate but I hardly think he would be so foolhardy as to jeopardize his career by falsely attributing comments to someone by name. (Note to King: take a page from "Shank" Shaughnessy's playbook and go the "unnamed sources in the locker room" route) All Phillips accomplished was to hand bulletin-board fodder to the Patriots and make his team vulnerable to today's beatdown. He telegraphed his intent to double-team Moss "all day" in a radio interview several days ago which obviously gave Belichick time to develop his counter-strategy. In short, Phillips was outcoached and outclassed by the Patriots head coach, both on- and off the field.

With losses by the Jets and Dolphins, and Buffalo's bye week, the Patriots already have a 5 game lead in the division. New England travels to Miami next week to face the winless Dolphins, a trap game if ever there was one.

Curt seals the deal!!

I wasn't sure the ol' man had it in him, but Curt was flat out dealing last night. As soon as PAPI and Man-Ram went back to back I knew it was over but I did not think Schill had that kind of performance in HIM.

Great JOB

Bing Bong's Red Sox Playoff Prediction

Tonight the Boston Red Sox will take on the two-town Angels for game two of the ALDS. Most blogs will comment on things that happened the past but this unique post is going outline the TBS broadcast for 8:30 tonight. Let's get started

• Dice K will throw the first pitch high and outside.


• The umpires will blow 3 calls. 2 in the favor of the red sox


• Jose Mota will freeze up on screen then spontaneously cumbust


• Manny goes yard to right center


• Youuuk will get beaned


• Varitek will go 0-3 with a walk


• J.D. will stay hot going 2-4 followed by a pulled big toe


• Jacoby will contribute "something like a phenomenon" (Ladies Love Cool James)


• Final Score: Red Sox 8 Angels 3


• Over-Under Jose Mota Mistakes - 16 through 3 appearances


• Over-Under pitches missed due to poor TBS broadcasting - 26


• I also predict the Terry Francona will pack the biggest chewie of his life

That all

RED SOX AL CHAMPIONSHIP CELEBRATION

NOT SURE WHO TOOK THESE BY THEY FOUND THEIR WAY TO MY INBOX AND WHO AM i NOT TO SERVE THEM UP TO THE PUBLIC.

The Gambler

If you enjoy, or in my case are addicted to gambling here are this week's NFL LOCKS!

-Bet the wife and kids on Jacksonville -2 at KC (The Chiefs had a great win last week on the road against the Chargers and a sign of a poorly coached team is losing at home right after a great road win).

- 3 Team Teaser (6 point) of the week: Tease Tenn to -2, Pitt to pick em, and Houston to +1

As John Anthony would say - I know these teams better than they know themselves...Let's make some money.

Scouting Report from WIKI and ... Jose Mota

After Josh's outstanding proformance last night, 12 Miller Lites, 2 Bong Rips and 4 hours of sleep, I knew that something had to be said of this impressive showing. But what can you said that the TBS announcers didn't already put into poetry? Well two things actually. The first can be found below in red. It's the scouting report from wikipedia on Josh Beckett. Maybe the Angels should have taken a look at it because they just looked silly. The second point I would like to bring up is that TBS sucks. And heres why------>

Jose Mota! Ohh my freaking God, Jose, you are horrible. You are the lettuce, tomato and special sauce on this whopper-sized-sh!t-burger TBS calls a broadcast of the AL and NLDS. Your comments during the 5th inning of last nights game were coming in at about a 3rd grade level. I mean I actually stood up looked around and asked out loud " Am I High or did Jose Mota just put together 6 sentences that have nothing to do with each other." I mean he really got locked up. Thank Comcast for DVR cause i watched that train wreak about 4 times in a row. TBS needs to step it up. Stop missing the first two pitches of every other inning. Stop pulling has-beens out of the crowd to talk about baseball. And stop trying to be a sports network. Stick to what you do best TBS, reruns of Friends and Everybody Loves Raymond.





And Don Orsillo.... F YOU!

"Beckett is a power pitcher with an over-the-top delivery. His four-seam fastball ranges from 92-98 mph, and Beckett imparts heavy tailing action to move it through the zone. He complements this with a heavy sinker (90-94 mph) a two-seam fastball (91-94 mph) a deceptive changeup that tails in at 82-86 mph, and an effective hard-breaking curve (73-79 mph). Beckett generally frustrates hitters by painting the outside corner with his fastball, tailing his changeups inside, and striking batters out swinging with his sinker and 12-6 curve."

Steve was at the game!

"Throw It Back! Throw It Back!"

Last Thursday I attended the Sox-Twins game at Fenway in one of the $495 dollar bleacher seats. I usually picture the singing recliners from Bob's Discount Furniture when I think about $500 dollar seats, but from sitting in the tiny bleacher seats I decided the only practical household function would be turning them into a baby high chair. I am sure they are sanitary. Nonetheless, the location of the seats proved worthwhile as a Twins home run ball landed two seats over. I got two finger tips on it, but not enough to reel it in. Believe me I am still kicking myself for not checking my girlfriend back a row for those extra couple of inches. The ball kicked around and someone picked it up, and everyone started chanting "Throw it back! Throw it back!" The guy did and then, to everyone's surprise, security came over and kicked him out. We all quickly learned why you never see highlights of fans throwing back home run balls at Fenway. I have mentioned this to a few people, and all were surprised of the Fenway Park policy. So let me warn you that even if Paul O'Neil is resurrected and hits a home run ball to you, and you feel the evilness sink into your skin with every second you hold it in your hand, don't throw it back. Instead offer to a bright eyed, young Yankee fan before throwing it in the trash.

OUTSTANDING JOSH BECKETT

All I have to say is WOW! I met up at a local bar with an old buddy of mine and we watched the game, screamed and shouted and high fived. Beckett was out of this world and 1 word dominant. How lucky are we to have the sox and the Patriots? So lucky.

I'll wright some more on this tomorrow but ill finish with one word....WOW!!!

AND THAT'S JUST COLLEGE FOOTBALL!


The New York Mets ended the greatest downward spiral of suck in baseball history. The Rockies win 14 of 15 to clinch a playoff spot. The NFL is an unpredictable hodgepodge of unpredictability (for example: Lions over Bears...What the F*&K?!?!?). NASCAR's Clint Bowyer is on his way to winning...never mind no one cares. What I'm getting at is that this weekend put every bookie in the black for the rest of the season. This past weekend was sickening. Thank God I'm not a betting man and thank God for the seven degrees of Kevin Bacon. Do you smell what I'm Cooking?
