What Day is It?

Monday, October 25th, 2004

Man, this Red Sox stuff is screwing me up. Did you know there’s, like, a big election coming up? Jeez, I used to be on top of this stuff.
And while I’m not paying attention, I’m pleasantly suprised that Eminem is. Oh how I’d love to see lines of kids in black hoodies at the polls. [...]

What Are The Odds

Monday, October 25th, 2004

For the first time since I was six years old, the Red Sox are in the world series. After a “gutsy” (at least that is what the people on TV keep saying) performance by somone who is going to have some sock laundry to do, it looks like they may finish it up in [...]

We Had ‘Em All the Way

Sunday, October 24th, 2004

OK, you can exhale.

Oh Mark Bellhorn, may you never be doubted again. Three HUGE homers in the last three games, two off the foul poles?! Can you say Todd Walker v.04?
For the record, the Cardinals scare me. They are good. Our Idiots are no slouches, of course, but an 11-9 game might be [...]

World Series Good Luck Charm

Our clownfish looks like David Ortiz.

Thanks again to Adam for his always clever Red Sox away messages. EN commercials here.

Unbelievable

Thursday, October 21st, 2004

When is game 8? This series couldn’t be over, could it? Where was the collapse? Where were the ghosts?

There is no superlative you’ll hear today (and tomorrow, and the next day…) that is over-exaggerated. Last night’s game seven was without a doubt the biggest win in the history of the Red Sox franchise. There’s no [...]

Speechless

After all the Believing, I can’t believe it.
Wow.

A Promise Kept

Wednesday, October 20th, 2004

We did our part. We kept the faith. The Red Sox have already done what no other team has done in baseball history by coming back from a 0-3 hole to force game seven in the ALCS. And they didn’t even have to cheat.

(That’s the first win where I didn’t have an Ortiz walkoff pic!)
Em’s [...]

Deja ‘Tiz All Over Again

Tuesday, October 19th, 2004

Since Jesus has left the building for these playoffs, I guess we’re forced to reach back into the O.T. for some King David references. Or we could just rewrite the books, in particular the history books, because on the 471st pitch, Mr. Octizzle rose again.

There’s so much out there to read, so I won’t rehash [...]

Trupiano

Due to, I assume, an overwhelming concern that Hideki Matsui will experience some sort of wardrobe malfunction, the Fox broadcast of the Red Sox games are about 5-7 seconds behind the radio feed. This means, unfortunately, that you can’t mute the drivel coming out of Tim McCarvers Yankee-fellating mouth and listen to Joe and Jerry [...]

Do you believe?

Keep the Faith. Pedro at 5:19.

Franken vs Limbaugh

Saturday, October 16th, 2004

Oh baby. Since local AM radio host John “the journalist” DePetro (the Independent Man) is moving on up to Boston, WHJJ has been looking for programming to fill the void. After an exhaustive search, they’ve decided to syndicate part of Air America Radio’s lineup. That means Al Franken will be on opposite Rush Limbaugh in [...]
