Fiving It Up
Doing a lists of fives because I feel like it.
Five Memorable McCoy Stadium Moments
1) The 33 Inning Epic (4/18/81, 4/19/81, 6/23/81)
2) Tomo Ohka and Bronson Arroyo pitching perfect games (6/1/00, 8/10/03)
3) AAA All Star Game (7/14/04)
4) Izzy Alcantara Kicking Red Barons Catcher Jeremy Salazar in the Face (7/3/01)
5) Mark Fidrych vs Dave Righetti (7/1/82)
Five Overlooked Red Sox regular season Moments from the past six seasons
1) Todd Walker hitting a game tying 3 run shot on 9/23/03 w/ 2 outs and a full count against the Orioles (this is huge because the Orioles KILLED the Red Sox insanely at this time and it was basically what clinched the playoffs for them)
2) Trot Nixon's game winning grand slam vs Philadelphia 9/1/03. This helped get the ball going.
3) Tim Wakefield pitching a complete game and Papi hitting a walkoff 2-run shot 9/6/05 (I think)
4) Pokey Reese hitting an inside-the-park and outside the park HRs which I only have on here cuz I was there for it. 5/8/04
5) The 4/20 game in which the Red Sox were wearing green unis, came back from 6-2 and the heroes of the game were Coco Crisp and Alex Cora. And Cora had a "special cookie" from Papelbon which apparently helped him in the game according to Pap (given it's 4/20 I think special cookie means pot related stuff)
Five Great This is SportsCenter Ads
1) Going Up (with NJ Devils Mascot)
2) Betrayal (with David Ortiz and Jorge Posada)
3) Weirdness (with Paul Konerko and Tim Hudson)
4) Brats Eating Brats (with Milwaukee Brewers Sausages
5) Bad Directions (with Cam Neely and Roger Clemens (Boston Days) There's a part in this that's ironically funny
Funny Sports Stars Cameos in Movies
1) Cam Neely in Dumb and Dumber
2) Kareem Abdul Jabbar in Airplane!
3) Alex Karras in Blazing Saddles (note: the horse isn't dead and hte horse was never hurt)
4) Xavier McDaniel in Singles
5) Roger Clemens in Kingpin
Athlete Cameos in the "Too Legit To Quit"-MC Hammer Video (about 3:50 in you get the cameos)
1) Kirby Puckett
2) Roger Clemens
3) Isiah Thomas
4) Rickey Henderson
5) Deion Sanders
Things That Have Pissed Me Off About the Suspensions/etc.
1) Beckett is suspended for six games
2) He was also fined (I can understand the fine though)
3) He was suspended for "aggressive actions after the near hit" while Abreu got nothing and basically incited it
4) Scioscia and Hunter were only fined
5) Bob Watson wants me to fucking jab a butter knife in his scrotum
Over Looked Video Game Songs
1) Super Mario Land Overworld Music
2) Mario Paint Background Music
3) Grape Gardens from Kirby's Adventure
4) Vermillion City from Pokemon Red/Blue
5) Sheiks Theme from Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (compared to the other songs, definitely)
Regular vs Brawl Versions of Songs (I'm not even gonna include Bramble Blast/Stickerbrush Symphony because both versions are insanely different from each other)
1) Theme of Samus Aran Space Warrior/Super Metroid Theme -- SNES vs Brawl (I prefer Brawl but only by a little bit because of the fanfare....the SNES version has a cooler bass line)
2) Underworld from Kid Icarus NES vs Brawl (This is a tough one...I'll say it's a tie. I like both)
3) Yoshi's Island/Flower Garden GBA Version vs Brawl (I give the thumbs up to Brawl. That song is the epitome of an awesome sunny day outside)
4) Star Fox Theme SNES Version vs Brawl (slightly partial to the latter just because it sounds like you're going through space and looking at the sights and being in awe and then you realize your mission and are determined)
5) Unfounded Revenge/Smashing Song of Praise (it combines two songs of teh original) UR GBA Version and SSoP GBA Version vs Brawl Version (I like the latter)
Since I'm lazy, I'll do a fiver version of pregame --

1) Red Sox game is on at 10:05pm

3) Whining about how I'm gonna likely miss all of Wednesday's Game since I'm stuck in school
4) Boring the shit out of myself with video games
5) Trying to get a paper done that was due on Monday that I had forgotten all about
Things I Would Like to See About Tonight's Game
1) Red Sox Not Sucking Ass
2) Good pitching from Dice
3) Not falling to 2-6
4) The Offense to Show some goddamn life
