Pretty good weekend if you are a Boston fan. Sox working thru a few jams on their way to a World Series, BC football moves up a spot in the BCS and they didn't even play, the Patriots lay another smackdown on the hapless 'Phins, and that Head of the Charles race where the hoity toity go to see and be seen (to be fair it is a really fun time). In the name of full disclosure, I am a pretty big Red Sox fan. The nature of a Sox fan does not allow you to really enjoy their success until the end of a winning game while you die a little inside w/ each miscue. This has been written ad nausea by better writers than I so I will no belabor the point. Just know that last night I was a mess until the final Paplebon out... and then it was sheer joy!
By the way, as much as JD Drew (not a bad series) and Coco Crisp tried to wrestle the title away, was there a worse Sox player this season than Julio Lugo? I mean he looked like he had money on Cleveland last night. He couldn't hit, couldn't run, couldn't field, and was a complete disaster. Given the deer in the headlights look he had, I actually thought the Sox had miraculously picked up Reche Caldwell to play shortstop last night!!!!
Meanwhile, by the time I was able to flip on the Patriots game on the radio (I was eating fiber cereal and getting my ass kicked by my wife in golf at the In-Law's) the Pats had the hot dog guy at QB throwing 75 yard bombs to the bathroom attendant. Call me a nerd but Tom Brady is carrying the Patriots as well as my fantasy football team, and he dates supermodels, and impregnates hot actresses... I want to hate him out of sheer jealous spite but he put up 50 points to lead my team to victory?! What is a lame ass like me to do? Fortunately for me, my wife is pretty hot too. I was able to catch a little of the Denver/Steelers game between innings of the baseball game. Neither of those teams really scare me much. The Broncos QB looks like he might crap his pants at any moment and their top RB is about to go Ricky Williams on us. Those 2 could be our generation's Cheech and Chong. The Steelers meanwhile have a, a, a... I don't even know what they have but they lost to a sucky Denver team last night ergo, they suck worse!!! On the other hand, what do I know... I couldn't pick a winner w/ the spread if my life depended on it. I have a better chance of guessing when Brittney Spears will get sober than picking football winners this season?
Couple short observations... Unbelievable foliage this week... amazing colors, great New England weather... really a pretty spectacular way to usher in the next 6 months of cold gloom! I read a story about how Radiohead offered its fans the ability to download their new album for free and then the fans complained about the sound quality and said it was merely a marketing ploy to get you to buy the album. Guess what dipshits, it was a ploy to get you to but the album!!! The band put the work into making it, the least you can do is fork over $10 to buy it if you like it, or don't. Just don't whine about the sound quality of a free download... you are not entitled to take some one's stuff for free just because you own a computer!!!!!!!! Like exclamation points? Get used to them, I use 'em a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GO SOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
