Doubleheader Sweep, Motherfuckers!
The Red Sox won their second game of the doubleheader 10-1 led by David Ortiz going 4-5 with 2 HRs and driving in 3. That is awesome. Lots of awesome. Huge game for him, most def. The offense was also aided by Mike Lowell still being all kinds of awesome going 2-4 with 2 RBI. How about Lowell's doubleheader, man? Freaking awesome. Youk had a huge game too with a 3-run shot and even Kevin Cash had a couple hits :) Good stuff. It was a great game all around. Sweeping doubleheaders is a tough thing, but the Red Sox managed to do it. That's a good thing.
And I have to share this because it's so batshit insane and fucking made of awesome that how can I NOT do so. This also is why I REALLY REALLY REALLY wish I was a fly on the wall of the Red Sox' clubhouse. Especially during the rain delay last night. Honestly, I WISH I saw this.
Celebrating Oki in song: The popularity of Hideki Okajima reached new heights in the Red Sox clubhouse during Thursday night's lengthy rain delay as several members of the team danced to a bootleg song written in honor of the dominant rookie reliever.
It was a friend of Jeff Yamaguchi, Okajima's translator, who wrote the song.
"Mr. Yoshie. He makes music commercials in Japan," said Yamguchi. "He's a music producer. He came to Fenway in May. Went to a Red Sox game and he loved it. He said, 'Hey, I'm going to make an Okajima song."
Mr. Yoshie -- Yamaguchi wasn't certain of his first name -- lives in Tokyo. The Red Sox certainly had a good time with the song.
"The joint was jumping," said Terry Francona.
The name of the song is Okajima-Oki-doke. According to Yamaguchi, those are the only lyrics in the entire song.
"All it says is Okajima-Oki-doke, but it's so nice," said Yamaguchi. "The lyrics are upbeat."
Yamguchi said that David Ortiz and Kevin Youkilis were just some of the players who danced to the song in the clubhouse. "The clubhouse went nuts last night," Yamaguchi said. "We played it like 30 times last night."
Count Mike Lowell as a fan.
"It's awesome," said Lowell. "Oh my God, it's the best. You have to hear it. We're going to play it at Fenway when we come home. It's outstanding. It's unbelievable."
I can't wait till they play it at Fenway...I wanna see them dance! Also, who danced?
