Act Like You've Been There Before

If the Lakers win and there's no parade did their Championship ever happen???

Toying With The Yanks

Yankee fan time to panic? And I thougth this might be the most entertaining early season Yankee vs. Sox series of the past 5 years. Huh. This is getting pathetic. Give em the cheese Paps.

It Takes Two To Make It Outta Sight

Does it get any better than the last couple weeks of Beckett and Lester? I mean the Sox have had some dangerous pitching duos in the past most notably Pedro/Schilling, but never have I seen two guys dominate and go out there and perform the way they should every start no matter the opponent. These guys actually bring it harder the tougher the lineup.

Sure it was a shaky start to April for both, but as the mercury has risen so have the strike outs and shutout innings. It seems like the last few starts for each guy you can count on a possible no-no or 20 K performance. I mean is it possible to have two Aces? As Sox fans we need to count our lucky stars that the days of loading up on over-the-hill sluggers is over and the front office has caught on to the "pitching wins championships" theory. I mean I used to be jealous that the Yankees had the Clemens, Pettite, Cone, Wells, etc. during their big runs. Why couldn't the Sox do that. It was obvious then and has now become the reality that the Sox have become the premier franchise in baseball. With the likes of Beckett and Lester and the emergence of Masterson, Bard, and Bowden the future looks bright. I'm just basking in the dominant sunshine that is the Sox rotation right now.

Bottom Line the Sox have too much pitching and you can't beat the Balls on the duo of Beckett and Lester. Sorry C.C. Sabathia and Burnett ain't cutting it Cashman try and explain it to your headwarmer.

NFL Now 25% More Safe

With the news of Rodney Harrison's retirement a lot of opposing WR can't help but breath a sigh of relief. Granted Rodney was often injured over the past few seasons you can't help but feel the NFL will be 25% more safe for opposing pass catchers and quarterbacks this year. Just ask Vince Young who hasn't been the same since this hit, which took place in a preseason game.

As a fan of the Pats the acquisition of Rodney was a bitter sweet moment, but it has been a blessing from the start. Rodney replaced arguably one of the best safeties in the Patriots short history in Lawyer Milloy. Milloy was also Brady's closest friend on the team. While it hurt to lose Milloy, Rodney soon made us forget about him and brought a new edge to the Pats legendary defenses of the 2004-05 Superbowl winning Patriots teams. He could cover deep or jam the line of scrimmage and deliver a game changing hit on the opposing QB. He was basically one of the first hybrid strong safeties in the league. A short list that included most notably Rodney Lott. Rodney was every bit as tough playing in the 2004 Superbowl with a broken forearm for a couple of plays before being pulled out of the game. He always had a knack for making the big play in big moments. Evidence being the 2005 Superbowl where he intercepted McNabbs pass on the Eagles final drive and immediately went into flapping his wings. Injuries however had diminished his speed and coverage ability over the past few years. But he still gave it all on every play. Just take the David Tyree miracle catch in the 2008 Superbowl. Rodney did everything legal and illegal to keep that pass from being a completion. There was only so much he could do in the end to stop the luckiest catch in history. Hopefully he'll be remembered for more than that catch. I like to remember his crazy suplex of an opposing player in his Chargers days.

After a great career there are many titles that describe Rodney: Dirtiest player in the league, most fined in NFL history, gritty veteran, and most doubted player in NFL history. But, ultimately his place in the books is written and he'll go down as one of the greatest strong safeties to ever suite up in the history of the game. He's one of the last throw back safeties a gritty, hard nosed, and lethal weapon he played the game the right way. Dirty player? I say the game was meant to be played DIRTY!

Thank you Rodney!

I think MTV just lost a fan

So, Eminem won't be bailing out MTV anytime soon. I guess that's what happens when you treat your biggest artist as "the butt of the joke".

Probably the most random WTF moment on live TV since The Boob, JT, and Janet at the Superbowl* with a little more hair.

*Just for the record: Pats would go on to win that game, the second best Superbowl game I've ever seen behind Pats v. Rams.

The Greatest Words That Have Ever Been Spoken...EVER!

If you're a Pats fan these are the greatest words you've ever heard. If you're a fan, player, or coach of any other NFL franchise, Look The F' Out!

"What would I do instead of run out in front of 80,000 people and command 52 guys and be around guys I consider brothers and be one of the real gladiators? Why would I ever want to do anything else? It’s so hard to think of anything that would match what I do: Fly to the moon? Jump out of planes? Bungee-jump off cliffs? None of that s— matters to me. I want to play this game I love, be with my wife and son, and enjoy life.” - (Peter King) si.com

Intrinsically Sweet and Worth 5 Stars By Itself

This inspirational shirt will bring to you the mighty powers that the commenter speaks of. Do not hesitate. The comments and mania surrounding this shirt are warranted. Never has there been this big of an event in modern day fashion. I have to say I'm proud to live in the great state that is home to the revolutionary business that had the brass to create such a sweet shirt. One can only imagine what genius artist could capture such an event and bring it to life in a tee shirt. Genius, Pure Genius!

Don't You Quit On Me

With all the wild talk about Papi's slump lately the focus has been taken off last year's hot topic of Tek's lack of offense. Well hows he doing this year? Guy's already halfway to his home run total of 13 dingers and his slugging is leading the Sox. The leadership and presence behind the plate has never dwindled apart from keeping guys from stealing, but he's never had a cannon.

So what is the reason for his resurgence? Roids, HGH, or Maybe tapping this helps. Either way if you quited on the Captain you can't get back on the wagon. I'll go further to say if you quit on Papi you should be stripped of your fan hood. In this day and age you can't count on too many athletes to stick with one team for the majority of their career and the thought of Tek anywhere else was scary. Does he scare the hell out of me when he hits lefty with a runner on first? Yes Will he kill the Sox playing 70-90 games this year? No

Bottom line is that these guys are human and maybe they go through some tough times. As fans we sometimes forget this. Why did Tek's numbers suffer I do not know. But, as we all know divorces can be messy. Especially when you are taggin a woman half your ex-wife's age that looks like she could be living in the mansion with Hef. Man if only my slump busters were that sweet back in the day. Don't you agree Mr. Giambi?

Napoleon BARDynamite

Just Throwing it out there with the recent call up. Could this be the heir-apparent to Paps??? Do the chickens have Large Talons??? Is this the most overrated movie ever??? YES!

Can the Sox bullpen get anymore loaded??? NO!

By the way how bad do you wish the Sox had signed Aubrey Huff after "The Fist Pump"???
