Sox Bury Mets

Living La Vida Loca!  -Ricky Martin

Public Service Announcement:  12 games in a row.  Just completed  the sweep of the best team in baseball.  Handedly.  Willie Randolph:  “We ran into a hot ball club at the wrong time.”  You certainly did.  These are the kinds of streaks where championships are made.  The litmus tests.  The Sox passed with flying colors.  Coconut Crisp all hepped up on Red Bull.  Coconut Crisp manufacturing runs.  Coconut Crisp stealing runs away with defense.  Schill said it might have been the best catch he’d ever seen.  Loretta called it the “play of the year.”  As Coco’s thumb gets better, so will his bat.  Papi’s up!  What does he do?  Hit his 200th.  Hank Aaron, here we come.  Well at least Reggie Jackson.  These guys have not made an error in 16 games, tying a major league record.  Not your grand daddy’s Sox.  Curt Schilling feeling healthy for the 1st time since 2004.  It shows.  If not for Santana, the Thrill is having a Cy Young caliber season.       

Now the best team in baseball goes to the Stadium to face the highest paid team in baseball.  Another litmus test.  This time for the Yankees.  They are just too batterred and too bruised to win this series.  Not enough horses or pitching.  The Red Sox lead will swell like Brett Myers’ wife’s face in the coming months.  The Yankees will be lucky to take third.  No wild card for these Bombers.  Sox/Fish this weekend.  Go Sox!!!

Public Knowledge:

1.  Agassi is the only guy I care about in Wimbleton.  At Wimbleton?  I dunno.  Brooke Sheilds and all.

2.  Aqua Teen is a howl.  Did you ever see the one where Carl gets big giant hands?  Huh-larious.  Hold on, here’s some Carl.

3.  I’m all drafted out.  Having said that. Here comes some more.  I’m all for getting AI.  And keeping the Truth.  But at what expense?  Jefferson?  Perkins? Green?  I hope not Green.  The Wiz pick a big Russian… er Ukranian.  I don’t see how that guy helps them.  They are a team on the cusp, bad drafts are crushing at this point.

4.  Went to watch Around the Horn.  Woman’s Golf was on.  Gross.  What a kick in the nuts. 

5.  Patrick Roy in the Hall of Fame.  He was the best for so long.

6.  Watching ESPN News.  Oreste Destrades comes on.  Says Kenny Rogers should start the All Star Game.  Are you out of your cotton picking mind?  Johan Santana is the guy every manager in baseball would want on the mound for them.  Period.

7.  Somebody’s broke again.  Former four-time heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield, 43, is coming back from a 21-month layoff to face journeyman Jeremy Bates in a 10-round bout Aug. 19 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas.  Who cares.  Who’s the champ godammit!

8.  Guys drafted from places I care about:  Randy Foye, Newark, NJ.  Rudy Gay, Baltimore Maryland.  Grady HS and Brooklyn’s own, Quincy Douby.  Renaldo Balkman, representing, Staten Island.  Staten Island is like Revere.  Rajon Rondo, Oak Hill Acad.  Marcus Williams, Oak Hill Acad.  Ok try to follow.  Williams and Boone.  Back to back UConn picks.  We know this.  Now, Marcus Williams also involved back to back high school picks.  Oak Hill.   Creepy.  James White, DC.  Craig Smith, Boston College.  Bobby Jones, Compton.  Denham Brown, Toronto.  There you go Chompers.  Your new favorite NBA player.  Hasan Adams, Inglewood.  I justed wanted to get that Samuel L. clip in.  Really, a must watch.  JR Pinnock, GWU. Holler.  And with the last pick in the NBA draft:  Roxbury’s Will Blalock.  And thats it.  The rest can go….oh ya, no f bomb zone. 

9.  Doc Rivers said Telfair would not have been available at No. 7 had his name been in the draft.  I agree.  And, Ainge had Rondo 7 on his leader board.  Sunny day.  I just read the Iverson deal included Jefferson and Green.  I don’t like that.  Not one bit.

10.  The Red Sox rigged the standing Pedro.  “We put a video on the scoreboard with hopes of cueing such a response.” Larry Lucchino.

11.  Boston’s own Hurricane Peter McNeeley just got busted for robbing a Walgreens.  Say what you want about Holyfield, at least he’s fighting to make some dough.

12.  Jose Canseco is back in baseball.  San Diego Surf Dawgs.  Golden Baseball League.  Do they test there? 

Peace out homies.  Six Two and Even!
