Yeah I know, I didn't do the 30 thing over the weekend. Cut me some slack. So here's Day 6 for you which is basically about my favorite quotes:

Here's 10 I Love

1) "No baseball fan has to explain his mania to any other baseball fan. They are a fraternity. It is less easy, often it is hopeless, to try to explain it to anyone else. You grow ( Read more... )

In the book Haunted Baseball, there's a story about how Ken Griffey, Jr. hit a HR in tribute to a big fan of his who perished in the 9/11 attacks (There's also one involving Jim Thome and a scruffy looking seagull which I fail for not mentioning at all evar). Thinking of that story makes me think of today's Rangers/Rays and Yankees/Red Sox games. ( Read more... )

It's about a little after 8:30am and I'm awake. I woke up basically to the sounds of my parents bickering over packing up to head up to Maine. Their anniversary is tomorrow and they're spending the weekend up with friends in Maine. It's all well and good but I'm kinda uneasy about at least leaving my dog home alone for a while. I'm working 11-4 ( Read more... )

Yeah, the 2009 Red Sox wanna show their inner batshitness. At least the NESN folk are. I must lead off with this gem which is Tom Caron and Jim Rice dancing....it's epic. Also Jim Rice is pretty funny in it making fun of his inability to dance. After the cut...

Hey everybody. You guys have a good day today? I did. Hung out with saxy_clarinet again which was fun. Did the RI stuff as per usual. We listened to the ballgame as well. I think we're bad luck with Papelbon. At least this time, Papelbon didn't completely blow the game. I can't help but wonder if he's hurting. Thank goodness for Jeff Bailey's homer. As for the ( Read more... )

Beau Vaughan Strikes Again!! (in case you dunno what I'm talking about, it seems that whenever he interviews someone, they get called up.)

It appears the Daniel Bard Era is about to begin.

The Red Sox have not made an official announcement, but Bard is expected to be at Fenway Park Sunday night for the series finale against the Rays.Spoony Bard ( Read more... )

In case you dunno who Beau Vaughan is, he's a smartassed pitcher for the RedHawks in the Rangers system. He was once a minor leaguer in the Red Sox' system before being traded. Anyways someone had the brilliant idea, and I mean brilliant in the awesome sense, to give him a blog which he basically interviews Rangers prospects. However this time he ( Read more... )

Hey all. Great win tonight for the Red Sox, but I do feel for the Cleveland fans. Man that bullpen was teh suck. Not to mention that the Red Sox' lineup was super makeshift. For god's sake you had Julio Lugo as the fucking DH. Lugo, or SUITM (Skeletor Up in this Motherfucker) as me and agentpoptart call him actually did good and had 3 hits in a game. Seriously ( Read more... )

Hey all. What's new? My week of relaxation is going pretty good. Though I need to wake up earlier. I'm a dope like that. I like to wake up between 10:30-12:30. Just a personal deal. Anyways, I'll just share some little bits of fun quotes from John Farrell and Tito. First off John Farrell sure as hell thinks that Joba threw at Bay intentionally

Hey all. Perusing the papers for any articles of interest as I get through this first official offday of the season. The first article worth mention is mostly about Mark Fidrych and his brief time in Pawtucket with the PawSox. From ProJo's Jim Donaldson who I normally hate (He basically is one of those Patriots>>>>Red Sox and craps on the Red Sox ( Read more... )
