Wednesday Morning Head Check

"Actually, I think I've had enough of baseball. Thanks, though."


"Atlanta? You can send me to the moon, amigo. Anywhere I can escape the relentless booing of beer-soaked contractors from Southie."


"Oakland? At least it's not f--kin' Pittsburgh. Have they traded that Zito queen, yet?"


"The Forbidden Zone was once a paradise. Your species made a desert of it."


"I have several new celebratory dance moves which I shall be unveiling upon my return to Boston: 'The Conquering Hero,' 'The Monkey Lover' and 'Beating Dave Wallace to the Dessert Tray.'"


"'The Monkey Lover'? What the f--k?!"


"Sorry. No offense intended."


"Shout outs to all my bitches. Derek and I send much love."*


"Mr. Lucchino, Mr. Steinbrenner, feel free to open your wallets... now."

*An interesting side-note to the Grady Little hiring... as several folks pointed out in yesterday's comments, "Surviving Grady" got name-checked in at least a couple stories, including this AP bit on ESPN.com. We'll be establishing our west coast office sometime this week. Seeking eager, young, blonde applicants. Just like Derek Lowe.
