( bitching about baseball writers )

Welllllll, not a whole lot to say here...but even though the Red Sox lost in a depressing and horrendous fashion yesterday, it was still a good day in another sense.  Which is...it was Josh Beckett's  birthday!  don't hate, people, I have to get my happiness from somewhere.   anyway, here's a picture of Josh.

 I'm just going to pretend that today's game isn't even happening, because really I need to keep my blood pressure down to some extent.  However, I do think that I need to give a shout out to a certain JONATHAN VAN EVERY, who after I spent the entire game making disparaging remarks about him, proceeded to hit a game winning HR in extra innings!!!   ( Read more... )

I'm posting my latest art thaaaang (entitled "casualties of the NFL", or at least until I can think of something cleverer) here....primarily because I'm tired and want validation/people telling me I'm awesome (regardless of whether it's true or not.)  Also...I'm bored.  (

I seriously can't picture a better way for that to have turned out. I can't decide who I'm more in love with...
Josh Beckett, better known as Commander Kickass of the Fuck Yeah Brigade, for striking out 10 and giving up a grand total of...2 hits...
Or...Dustin Pedroia, for homering in his first at bat and also just generally being master of my heart ( Read more... )

The first red sox game is 3 days from now!!!!  And I'm going to Fenway 2 days after that!!!!  Awesome.  So...while we're all sitting around waiting for the season to start, read this.
Dustin, I <3 you.

Two things...

1. Today=the first day of spring!  Pretty awesome, although of course it's still totally freezing here, so the spring-ness is more theoretical than real.  but anyway.
2. The first story here is definitely the best thing I have read all day (or possibly all week.  and it takes talent to be more entertaining than, um, the endocrine system ( Read more... )

I never thought I'd say this, but...the Netherlands is awesome.  (Specifically, their baseball team.)  I mean, who would possibly suspect that a bunch of guys hailing from a country where it's dark 22 hours a day (or something like that) would beat the Dominican baseball team?  WTF?
On one hand, I feel bad because of Big Papi and Jose Reyes and all ( Read more... )

Two things:
1. 15 inches of snow=not having to take the bio test I was totally and completely unprepared for.  Of course, part of the reason why I was unprepared was that I didn't study, since I knew it would snow today.  Which just goes to show how clever I am, I guess.
2. RED SOX.  Personally I do not care who wins the mayor's cup (does anyone, ( Read more... )

So yeah, yesterday the spring training season officially started with the Red Sox visiting their annual ass-whooping upon the hapless BC students.  Although to be fair, this year BC apparently gave them (sorta) a run for their money.  The final score was 7-1 Red Sox so, um, I don't know if I'd interpret that as "close" but it's a lot better than 24 ( Read more... )
