A-Rod?
Yeah, you know that dude is going to be totally stalking the rolling rally today, whispering crazy talk out loud about how “They have the Precious but the Precious is Mines. Yankees betrays us. Wicked, tricksey, false. Where is it? Where is it? They stole it from us. My Precious.”
I wanna be a Cubbie
Don’t ever let your team win the World Series. The wanting it is way better than the having it. Last night was little more than an exciting baseball game. We cheered, we shrugged, we went to bed. 2004 will never happen again unless we hit another 86-year dry spell. I want to be a Cubs [...]

Red Sox want A-Rod?
Sorry, this is unacceptable. If it happens, though, he should be required to grow dreadlocks. Maybe he can get a Damon wig from Locks of Love to tide him over in the meantime.
Baseball photos
A couple of photos sent by my Uncle John. The first is of him and my grandfather presenting a Jimmy Fund check to Ted Williams. Taken next to the Red Sox dugout at Fenway right before a night game against the Yankees, September, 1954. The second picture was taken right after World War II. Nobody [...]
A message to the Who Dat Nation
…from a lifelong member of the Red Sox Nation. There is something to be said for losing, and for doing it with style. My upbringing has made me a New Orleanian. I was raised on NOPS red beans & rice and McKenzie’s king cakes and Hubig’s pies. But genetically, I am undeniably a Bostonian, born [...]
Baseball season starts tonight
Everything up until now has been practice. It’s been an extended pre-season. Two things happen tonight: 1. Roger Clemens Judas Johnny Demon Damon returns to Fenway, wearing the pinstripes of shame. 2. I said before nobody could catch Wakefield’s knuckleball, and at the very last second, the Red Sox bought back Mirabelli from the Padres [...]
Damon, you broke my boy’s heart
He doesn’t know it yet, but when he wakes up he’s going to find that one of his favorite baseball players in the whole world just sold out to the Evil Empire. Yankees sign Johnny Damon We even bought your book, you dick.
Snow day!
We get a full-blown schools-closed snow day in Austin like once every two or three years. All it takes are enough icy bridges to shut down the freeways. So I would have told the biggest Red Sox geek in the house about Mirabelli when he woke up this morning, but he’s already up at the [...]
But who will catch for Wakefield?
The Red Sox have traded Doug Mirabelli to the Padres for yet another power hitter. Not that I’m a big fan of Dougy. He can’t hit, for one thing. And for another, he was the only player who was embarrassingly uncomfortable around the Queer Eye guys during their Red Sox episode last year. And I [...]
