give me a “who-haw, two-times-Tuesday!”

Tuesday, November 13th, 2007

so…I want to be so wrong on this, but, the Red Sox are going to screw this whole deal with Mike Lowell, all on the grounds of a fucking year — but, they’ll contemplate giving a 10-year, $300+ million offer to Arod?
2008 might be the year of the idiot all over again…

the one where the Red Sox win and I become a grumpy old man

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

so…the Red Sox won the World Series — yay!
so…the City of Boston is having a “rolling rally” for the Red Sox today — boo!
large crowds stress me out. I don’t get stressed out at the game — those people belong there — but the thousands of extra people standing outside my office building, and taking […]

good morning

Monday, October 22nd, 2007

so…three things…
Red Sox!!!
——–
we have a neighborhood skunk, and on occasion I’ll see him in the morning. We exchange civil looks and the occasional grunt — mine saying “dude! We’re cool, I’m just moving sllllooooowwwwly to my car” and his saying “hey, you allllmmmooost scared me, but I’m too tired to spray you, so I’ll let […]

the sugar is in the fridge

so…Ant Invasion 2007 has commenced in our kitchen, and I’ll go on the record as saying I support a reduction in troops immediately!
Fucking ants!
I thought we were going to luck out this year, because the invasion usually occurs in the spring, but nooooooo, we’ve got to be in some bizarre El NiƱo con mi primo […]

kinda yeti-ish

Friday, September 7th, 2007

so…when you were in, oh, maybe, kindergarten, or first grade, were you taught to always walk on the right when on the stairs or in a hallway?
well, nobody that I work with was EVER taught that!
AND they like to walk side-by-side down the hallway that only has room for two people…and look at you […]

just because the Mighty Ducks won the Stanley Cup, you don’t have to ruin another sport…

Friday, June 8th, 2007

so…we, as members of Red Sox Nation, have my coworker to blame for Schilling’s blown no-no yesterday.
The Kid txt’d me yesterday, while I was on the train:
Kid: Schill throws nohitter!
Me: No shit!?
Kid: Busted in this last at bat
Me: What!? the game wasn’t over? You fuckin jinxed him!
Kid: Hey I’m a hockey fan…
Fucking hockey fans!
I wonder […]

the quarterback sneak -or - throwing into double-coverage

Friday, March 9th, 2007

so…Tom Brady might have knocked up two ladies within a month of each other.
Fantastic.
Big deal. Really, it doesn’t affect his throwing arm.
It will affect his post-football political career, just a little…
Q: How do you know that Tom Brady is a Republican?
A: If he were a Democrat, he’d have a pull-out plan in place!

the one with the assault, battery and robbing with a lethal weapon

Monday, January 22nd, 2007

so…Pats vs. Colt: that sucked ass!
Reche Caldwell better learn how to catch the fucking ball in the off-season!
And, would somebody get Tom Brady a girlfriend before the next season starts!? It seems like his QB rating is directly linked to the amount of sex he’s getting…
…and speaking of changes, Indy deserved to lose because of […]

Tuesday-Morning-Quarterbacks taking it over the hump

Tuesday, December 5th, 2006

so…I’ve heard of armchair Quarterbacks (I’d like to be inducted into the Hall of Fame for this someday), but now you can be a Aeron chair Quarterback: David Seah invents Arm-Mounted Index Card Scabbard — The Gauntlet of Productivity

gearing up for the The Game

Friday, November 17th, 2006

so…Saturday is The Game. I saw this commercial Wednesday morning while watching SportsCenter with Sammy, and trying to explain the logic behind the Red Sox spending $51.1M to just talk with Matsuzaka (he babbled something about “maybe they were lonely”).

Go Buckeyes!
