Manny’s Out

About f@#$ing time.
Ramirez bit the hand that fed him so well throughout the last 8 seasons. And no, he is not a great player because you can not be great at something you do not respect, and Manny mocked the Red Sox management, players, fans, and baseball in general. Joe Torres & the LA Dodgers may think they are ready for Manny, but the jury’s out as to whether it will be Dr. Manny or Mr. Ramirez who doesn’t show up for a game.

Boston Red Sox Do It Again!

No, I didn’t go to Kenmore square last night. It was to cold/late/crowded for me to go, so I just set and saw it on TV, forcing my wife to stay awake with me and watching the Red Sox celebrate their rightful earned victory.

It’s been told more then once lately, that it is an exiting time to be a sports fan here in New England. The Patriots are kicking ass, the Bruins and the Revolution are doing fine, and the Celtics are back in business after so many years. And yesterday was a great example. It started with the Pat’s with who else but future U.S. president Tom Brady, who completely ignored the Redskins existence. And then, at 8:30, the main course, with the Sox fighting hard and winning the World Series.

And a couple of words about the possibility of A-Rod coming to Boston next year in case Mike Lowell goes: I have nothing against A-Rod, but if it ain’t broken, don’t try to fix it. And after Lowell became the World Series MVP last night, and after his great season, the Red Sox organization should make a considrable effort to keep him here.

Lets Go Red Sox 

From DWS To Kevin Youkilis

I simply hate Dancing With The Stars! I know that I don’t reflect the mainstream- TV consuming average Joe, but it’s the truth. And now, not only that the show is getting even more attention after Marie Osmond was Fainting With The Stars on live TV before the eyes of an amazed nation, Uri Geller’s Phenomenon will premier tonight live on NBC. Between these two shows, I believe we would have a 100% of captive audience, if it wasn’t for Manny, Big Papi, Youk, and the rest of the Red Sox gang, who are playing in World Series tonight, and will be ranked the highest in the Boston area ratings.
Let’s go Red Sox.

Lets Go Red Sox

After 12 years it’s about time… Red Sox clinch A.L. East. Yenkees suck!!!

Schilling Puts The “Red” In The “Sox”

So I don’t usually post on sports. Tech and celebrities are more my vices, but this goodie was too funny not to report on.

In what has become dubbed the media frenzy known as Sockgate, “self-promoting blowhard” blog-happy Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling is offering $1 Million to anyone who can prove that the alleged bloody sock he wore in Game 6 of the 2004 playoffs was a fake publicity stunt, and actually paint.

Whether or not the blotted sock was the end-product of some Michaelangelo-inspired moment, the fact that Schilling’s own teammate would betray him by leaking to an opponent’s team sportscaster that it was indeed “a publicity stunt” is way lame. Of course, how does one go about cashing in on a $1 Million bet about a bloody sock?

Thoughts?

Happy Baseball Season!!!

 

Spring Fever Pitch

A Boston area furniture chain, found an interesting way to fight the competition. You will get the money you paid for the furniture back, if the beloved but unlucky at times Boston Red Sox will be champions. Here are the details from the site: Consumers purchasing a mattress, dining table, sofa, or bed at a Jordan’s store location between March 7, 2007 and April 16, 2007 will receive a rebate of the purchase price paid for the Deal Merchandise if (but only if) the Boston Red Sox® win the 2007 Major League Baseball World Series®.
The Sox recently purchased the Japanese idol pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka, also known in Japan as Kaibutsu (monster), in an attempt to improve their chances this year.

And I thought that it’s enough  just  to beat the Yankees…
