Before the playoffs started and everybody thought the World Series would come down to the Angels/Cubs or Dodgers/Red Sox, I used my amazing powers of deduction to call the Rays/Phillies. With the Phils clinching last nite and the Rays wiping their ass with the Red Sox again tonite, it looks like I'll be right. And, you heard it here first, Tampa beats Philly in 6 games.
edit - 17 Oct 08 I went to bed with Tampa leading 7-0 in I think the 7th. Woke up to find out that somehow Boston won the game 8-7. No shit.
you are my little Joe Girardi (with your helmet on and from the side, I'd say you're the son of JEG). You are going to do big things. You proved that tonight.
I soooooooooooooooooooo get to wear my Cano shirt tomorrow to work :)
I recently read an issue of a local magazine called Stuff at Night. This is an important periodical for me to read because I hardly ever go out at night and its important for me to know what actually occurs at nighttime around here. Its similar to Mario reading any newspaper or magazine thats not about Johnston so he can know that there are other towns and cities out there. I'm on a tangent. The reason I bring up this magazine is because there was an article about why women love Boston guys. They had an article that was a collection of emails from women, listing the specific things they liked and/or loved about Boston guys. 8 of the 12 emails mentioned the red sox. Reason number one why I hate Boston guys, they can't have a conversation without talking about or mentioning the red sox. Me: "Hey man whats up?" Boston D-Bag: "How about Papelbon tonight?" Me: "Yeah how about him. Hows the night been for you so far?" Boston D-Bag: "Not as good as when the sox beat the yankees in the ALCS in 2004". Me: "Hang on one second, I'm going to kill myself". The emails mentioned the fact that they loved the way Boston guys wear their sox hats slightly crooked. Fix your goddamn hat. I've seen people wearing a hat that is close to levitating on top of the head. Pull it down onto your head. If its that far up its more like a cloth sports halo. Another email mentioned that they found it cute that the girl is a close second to the red sox in the guys heart. Are you kidding me? Way to seek out a relationship where you don't come first. Ask Joe how fun that is. Or any of my exes. The kicker was the email that said a boston accent on a guy sounds "sooooo hot!". Anybody, guy or girl, sounds like a retarded chimp with the boston accent. Dropping R's like its something to do. I wish the R was tangible because I'd pick them up, put them in a sack and hit people in the face with it. Fucking Boston. Worst place on earth.
::sits and waits for all of Western Massachusetts (aka Red Sox Nation) to pester me today::
dammit. Just fucking dammit.
*also, pretty pumped that I found a way to get truly INJURED in the SHOWER. It's not as easy as you might think. I apparently was really going for gold today.
