A Cry for Help

I saw this at my coffee shop on Tuesday:

That was my strategy, too. And that’s all I’ll say about that. (Please, though, note the crying flowers)

The good news: normal bedtimes, lower blood pressure (once the rage subsides), less Tim McCarver, no more Kevin Millar, and being able to watch Lost without flipping channels.
The bad news: resurrection of the perception that 2004 was an outlier and ugh, Ozzie Guillen.
Oh well. It’s not like anything could have topped last year, so [...]

By the time anyone reads this, today’s game will probably be over, but I’m just bursting with excitement. I wondered if this year would be less invigorating, but I’m pretty giddy now as the defending World Champions take on Chicago.
If anyone’s looking for predictions, I’m guaranteeing the Sox win the series. You can bet on [...]

In case you haven’t heard, this is what makes baseball so great. Red Sox-Yankees, the bite in the air, the tightening of the chest, the exhilaration, the electricity. Fenway in October. A-Rod vs. Papi.
And tonight… wow. Timlin, huge. Wells, awesome. Tek! Clutch game all around. I think I bruised my hand while pumping my fist [...]

I thought they’d win. I was wary of broadcasting that, but I thought they’d win. Never did I imagine they would absolutely paste the Pittsburgh Steelers to the tune of 41 points. This team, these New England Patriots, are just phenomenal. Wow.
I think you’ll probably hear this a lot in the coming weeks, but the [...]

You wouldn’t be able to tell by reading aC4H lately, but I am really excited about today’s Pats/Colts game. And part of that excitement is fear. This game’s going to be tough, and I don’t know what to expect at all. Let’s just hope that Bill Belichick has been current on the rent for that [...]

I stayed up to see the final ticks off the clock of the Patriots’ second loss of the season (actually, I stayed up a lot later than that), so you can imagine my surprise when I unfurled the ProJo sports section this early morning and read “Patriots stay the course” and “N.E. holds off Miami, [...]

In case anyone is wondering, I’m ecstatic that Jason Giambi has been outed as the cheating biotch that he is. As if there was any doubt about his use of “performance enhancing” injections into his ass (must… fight… Jeter-bashing… joke… involving testosterone (a component of semen) injections in the butt) after he showed up to [...]

If you’ve been missing that hardy New England sports cynicism in the wake of the Red Sox World Championship ( ! ), here’s something that should warm your pessimist’s heart: the Pats’ historic win streak is no more. The Pittsburgh Steelers put an end to this glorious run at 21.
Go figure, the Sox, who never [...]

Our clownfish looks like David Ortiz.

Oh, and I guess the Pats did something noteworthy yesterday…

I saw this bumper sticker today:

I like it. You know they’re a winning team, and no one can accuse them of not being Patriots. Great choice for disaffected New Englanders (except in NH and Maine. You bastards better not waste your vote!) Get your sticker here.
