No Solace in Booze. Only wins!

by Red on August 15, 2010

So what if I’m still feeling the bitter taste of Friday night’s loss on my lips. I’m going down with this ship! So if you’re with me, grab a bottle of your favorite soda, dress in something short and tight (ladies only, please) and huddle close to my side in the cabin.

Because the ride from here to September will be hot and nasty and nerve-wracking and nail-biting-ish. And it ain’t for the squeamish.

Take my hand. Take my word. We’ll get through it all. Daisuke won’t let us down.

And if he does? F$%k it. We’ll go dancing. Or get some steaks.

Oh and apparently there was a 'situation' after I left. I took one of the guys from Atlanta and his wife to their hotel....and he'd been a bodyguard of sorts (he was a pretty big dude and firefighter) Anyway....I got a message that I  took the 'bodyguard' away and someone got accosted by another gal....got ugly in really bad way. Thank god some have sense and just let the accosting girl look the fool. Im sad I wasnt there to film it

Just want to say that I work about 2 blocks from that liquor store. The Sox have sent me there several times this season.

Tomorrow: laser show.

ARoid just got pulled from their game with what is being described as a tight calf.

The word is that Joba, who grew up on an Oklahoma cattle farm, excitedly ran to the dugout when he heard there was a tight calf there.

Just an aside here...go see the movie The Other Guys. It's a horrible movie overall, but Derek Jeter does get shot in it. That alone was worth the admission price!

Damon got a warm reception in his return to Yankee Canaveral Stadium tonight. Their PlayByPlay guy (Flaherty tonight??) commented that he got booed at Fenway when coming in as a MFY but that "Yankee fans truly appreciate those players who helped them win championships".

Umm, fuck you.

Ok I LOVE the fact both you and I came in contact with Police who commented on our shirts! (one cop loved my SG Beckett shirt)
SO happy you got to wear the BAD ASS shirt!!!!  Im never sure how they'll react at parks, specially Texas ones.

Surely they had to get a smile or laugh out of the flashing "B"??!!! I wish I woulda video'd it now!!
Next season...we'll be more prepared and party better!
BETTER YOU SAY???  8-)

Hey Tex, it was really great meeting you last weekend.  My 'BAD ASS' shirt was a hit at the ballpark, with Sox fans & Texas fans, too.

After the game, my hike back to Humperdinks left me a little sweaty (ok, a lot sweaty) so I took my shirt off & used it for a towel.  I drove back to my niece's place but stopped at a Quick Trip for bottled water.  There was about 5 or 6 cops inside having a break, so I walked up to them & asked them what they thought of my other shirt - the one that says 'DON'T TASE ME BRO'.  They got a good laugh at that.  One female cop said she liked the shirt but not the hat, so I turned on the flashing "B" on my hat & said "Is this better?"  She just shook her head.

Its just a lame ass expression. I know I've used it and up until I heard where the original hats came from I didn't mind it.

I meant to ward off the "false fans". It seems the "hats" only came out after 2003, and that was the point.   If you take it any other way, then you missed my point.   Rich: My wife survived cancer, and that is the last thing I would try to besmirch.  Urn-ie: Yes, my problem is with the band wagon riders.......So I will use that term.

I hate the term "pink hat" - first, it implies that you are talking only about women. Second, it implies that the woman who might be wearing it knows nothing about the game. On an individual case that might be true but I know plenty of women who could talk baseball circles around most men. I go to enough games to know that many men in the stands (wearing every other color hat) can be moronic and/or drunken douche bags who don't give a shit about what's happening on the field. If you have a problem with generic bandwagon fans then say so.

You know the original pink hats were given to women who survived breast cancer right? 

May want to re-think telling anyone wearing a pink hat to take a hike.

My takeaway from the road trip is as follows: 

1) We went 5-5, but should have went 7-3. 

2) Our starters Lester, Buchholz, Matsuzaka, and Lackey are really pitching their butts off. 

3) Paps just needs to shut the fuck up, and pitch. He talks and talks...... Mariano does not talk, and has blown 2 games this year and he's 40.  Oh, and learn another pitch. 

4) I think Scott Atchison is a good spot relief / matchup kind of guy. He does pretty well. but some more time with the club and we might see a better version next year.

5) Josh beckett looks very fat to me. He appears to be out of shape. If he were to dedicate the off season to getting in shape, he would be the pitcher we remember from 2007.

6) The Rays and Yanks have some weaknesses. They can be beat. We have games coming up to catch them. Just keep faith kids, faith. If you wear a pink hat, go away.

First, these idiots lose. Then, I'm subjected to seeing Tebow on my TV during the football game and post game interviews. Not a good day.

I've never seen so many people wear mixed gear in my life...what's up with that? And whats that switch out your hat for a Rangers hat crap?

The reaction from RS fans after Hamilton's 9th inning HR last night was awesome...no one moved an inch. No one cursed, rolled their eyes, pounded their fist. Just sat there..AS IF SOMEHOW THEY KNEW IT WOULD HAPPEN!! Amazing! Science!

Wow. I'm glad I went out and got Cracker Barrel for dinner instead of watching the rest of the game.

Chicken & dumplings and gravy fix pretty much everything.
