Wow, these boston announcers are horrible.

I think if they weren’t up in the booth they’d actually be out on the field cupping the Sox players’ balls for them.

Colleges

I blame all the Boston-area colleges for constantly creating new SUX fans. People got to school there for four years, suddenly “discover” baseball, and think the SUX invented it.

This guy lost something out of his jeep and I noticed that he had a BP hat. I had to stop and offer help… and he had an A’s plate too. I almost wanted to ask for his phone # but didn’t want to scare him.

I like defense. I tend to watch defense: catchers, 2B’s, and shifts. It’s just my personal bias, but I tend to think a game in which the ball is put into play by the defense sort of emphasizes how extra important defense is.

do we have the same aunt?

I was scared of them because they looked like my aunt… who always wore all this white makeup to make herself seem less brown, with tons of eye makeup and painted on eye brows…

I'm in countdown mode
