Boon

My B- I read one thing thought another, trying to change the subject before we got into a Sox/Yanks/Al flame war.

If it bleeds, it leads, kiddies.

Living in Boston now and an hour away for the first part of my life, I get really agitated when people who are not from here speak on our behalf. #1 I was also not disappointed with this season- it was a wash halfway through, anything they did was going to be good enough for me, because after winning the WS, they pretty much had a pass, especially with Schilling and Foulke down, Pedro and Lowe gone, etc. #2 The original Sports Guy column said that the Sox have a pass for a while, and I still think they do. The people I talk to are not greedy fans. They recognize that what the Patriots did was unheard of, and the Sox winning one, especially the way they did it, is an amazing accomplishment. Do we always want more championships? Well duh. But don't sit here and say that if they don't win it all, the people in the city are going to burn down Fenway. Especially if you're not from here, you don't know what you're talking about, or a Yankee fan. The arrogance in this thread is simply stunning to me. "I know what they're going through, and I take pity on the Red Sox and their fans." Fuck that. Don't feel bad for us- hell, I don't feel bad for the Yankees. #3 Saying that the Sox and the Yankees are the same as far as money goes is just absolute bullshit. Yes, the Sox are #2, but the gap is so ridiculously large that the comparison is just foolish. I wish they had more homegrown talent, but it looks like next year a large portion of their pitching will be homegrown. And if you don't like cheering the team anymore because of "what they've become," then fucking don't. The Red Sox don't need any more bandwagon fans, or fans who like them just b/c they can beat the Yankees. Hanley, the next A-Rod? Haha, no. He's good, but he won't be the best player in the league, my friend. I don't mind dealing prospects for young, proven players, especially if it fills a need (pitching). They have Renteria locked up for three more years- Hanley was just going to sit in AAA ball or be moved into a position that was not his natural position. They sold while the stock was high, simple as that. Edit: ANYWHO- Lies!!!

Cameron high was freaking hot. That's all I have to say about that.

I'd pick Crosby, myself.

Meh- it's not a hockey town niskie, you know that- the same can be said about the Celtics. Fuck, the Revs make the championship and you wouldn't even know we had a soccer team.

Cena getting Boo'd made my night.

Met Bret tonight- he looks like shit in person. I guess a stroke will do that to you. Signed his DVD, stayed an hour later then scheduled in order to get everyone. Nice experience, all in all.

wtf is this file type?

My trouble here is the word "Value". A-Rod's accomplishments / $25 million vs. Ortiz's accomplishments / $5 million Getting about 5x more bang for your buck with Ortiz. But whatever, I'm not gonna lose any sleep over it. Ortiz won the popular vote, but A-Rod won the electoral vote! It's not fair!

Worked fine, much obliged.

E-mail his show If you want to. I'm sure more people would like to vent then are actually calling for the man's skull.

Any chance of getting a report on what JBL said?

Thanks for the pics.

I'd stop watching ESPN if I had ever started to begin with.

double post.

It's looking that way.

Man, if it was Chavo and Benoit, that would be amazing.

I wouldn't blame him for not going out there, either.

I'm surprised no Chavo match.

I'm sure we're going to get a lot more backstage taped vignettes editted into the show, some Eddie matches, etc. I'm looking forward to Monday and Friday.

Rumor has it that Orton was supposedly going to win.

If that IS true, which I pray it is not, I could not come back if I were Kennedy. Every time I saw a chair being used, I would break down.
