Just doing some pointages of amusement from the world of baseball and other shit like that. Last night was pretty amusing watching the game with my brother, his friend Brendon, and my mom...then eventually my dad joined in. And then I was in an AIM chat with LJ peeps...so lots of amusing things were ensuing.
*Small List of What I Learned in Last Night's Game*
My mom was the only person who watched the 2003 World Series in the New England area, she only watched because of Beckett...Jensen Ackles. Nuff said there...Pedroia looks like a Bizarro Paul Bunyan...Julio Lugo looks like Marvin the Martian according to my brother...McCarver is still an idiot...Fox hates on Manny...Papelbon is fucking crazy(wait, I knew that already)...feeding dogs beer is okay if you add in vitamin water. There's plenty more but I can't think right now.

For one thing
Joe Buck was on Conan during the offday between Games 4 and 5. He talked with Conan and didn't come across as a complete douchebag. Go about 5:20 in and you'll see something rather familiar of the Papelbon persuasion. Conan's reaction is amazing. Oh yeah found this courtesy of the always fabulous redsox community....Josh Beckett in his postgame press conference decided to
drop some mad F-bomb action when asked a stupid question. I love him. My mom wishes that he was her child....and of course,
Kevin Millar still knows how to motivate masses of people. He needs to be a motivational speaker or something. Because he sure as hell pumped me up. Regardless, Millar is still obsessed with Boston like a crazy ex-girlfriend...actually
maggiesox came up with that. So propers to her for that analogy.
Oh and apparently, and I wish I could find the article, Dustin Pedroia's lack of fashion sense has caused Manny, Cora, AND Lugo to buy him suits. That cracks me up. Wee little bit sized 2B can't even dress himself competently? That's adorably awesome.
