I now know why God allowed me to go to Opening Day over more "deserving" fans, because i had an appropriate but respectful buzz on, and when the little retarded kid started singing the national anthem, and the huge flag unfurled, and the A-10's flew over my head, I shed a tear, loved America, and loved baseball.
"this is why we can't have nice things!"
God bless you.
How long until Boston goes on the Beckett blister watch?
Super Papel-bon bon. Papel-bon bon.
C'est PapelBON.
The possibilities are endless.
The Ortiz deal was 4 years/$52 million....and he could've asked for a lot more. Thank god he's locked up for his prime.
Not only am I glad baseball season is back because...well, because of baseball, but because posts like this one are more frequent during the actual season. How long before you're in the booth with Jerry & Don? They're wonderful, but sometimes I think your comedic voice would be a nice addition.
The early-season mojo has even extended to the departed Bronson Arroyo. Over there in the National League he is fast becoming a hitting legend. Tito should have had him batting fifth last year to protect Big Papi!
> Super Papel-bon bon. Papel-bon bon.
Soul Coughing reference. NICE.
Awww, Andraste. You're too sweet. I suspect that, were I given free reign of the broadcast booth, Remy's legendary giggle fits would NEVER end. We're talking like three solid innings of nothing but giggles while Orsillo attempts to maintain some semblance of order and the entire thing goes to hell.
Which might actually be good television, now that I think about it...
know what i love? i love how mike lowell has become beckett's personal translator, since they both rolled deep together in the florida marlins 'hood, and lowell speaks that "holy crap i just got traded to a large market team wtf is happening" language.
I ate a donut today for maximum David Wells is Hoter Than Your Boyfriend Mojo.
Clearly, the concept of David Wells being hotter than anyone is just so fucked up that it made me forget how to spell.
Ew. He'd better serve it more than he did in Pawtucket. You're on notice, Mister Wells. All donut stores will be closed if you fuck this up.
Where can I send my resume to be the Petal Scatterer?
Consider the collective buzz killed. Bleurgh.
Any chance we can get Bronson back?
We're all awaiting the coming storm...
I wouldn't want to be Mr Wells this am when Kristen put him on notice already...
Dustan Mohr is let go by the Twins, is picked up by Boston, and before he even unpacks he whacks a home run. I figure he got to the clubhouse just before the game, Big Papi remembered him from Minnesota and said something like "Hey Dusty, what's up?" and Dusty said "Nice to see you, David." and Big Papi laughed and said "Hit one out tonight, OK?" and then Dsutan did. What is it with Minnesota's castoffs and the Red Sox? (Dougie Mintscewevoistzc excepted).

Listen, I'm in Marlins territory and I'm happy to see Lowell is thriving with the Sox! Let's keep the fingers crossed on Beckett. That's some fire in him.
And please someone do something about Wells. He killed all the feel-good moments of the last week. I'd even give Wells to get Arroyo back. Just do something.
Here's my predictions for the rest of the bizzaro season:
Tim Wakefield will move to Shortstop and throw knuckleballs to first to get double plays
They'll find cork in Bronson Arroyo's bat
JT Snow during halfseason will move back to sunny California after too much "cold" weather
Wily Mo will throw a shutout game, amazing the crowd with his fastballs and gyroballs
In anger, Coco Crisp will have a hand-to-hand fight with Ortiz and win
El Guapo will start for the Sox after all starters go down with upset stomach
