Achievers!

by Red on August 25, 2011

Let me get this straight:

The Red Sox drop the first game of this series to Texas, prompting an all out “Holy Christ we’d rather face Darth Vader and Nazis and Rodan and Klingons and Sontarans and a giant, glowing, laser-shooting orb than face the Rangers in the playoffs” vibe across the Nation.

Then, over the next three games, the Sox score 30 runs, Gonzo belts five home runs, Ortiz goes batshit crazy, Beckett tears the Rangers to shreds and freakin’ Andrew Miller three-hits them over 6.1 innings?

Pass the bong, Cheech. It’s only gonna get cooler from here.

Putting the Sontarans up there with Vader, the Nazis, Rodan, and the Klingons is kind of inflating their importance. The Doctor Who villain pecking order is: Daleks>The Master>Cybermen>Autons>Yeti>Ice Warriors>Silurians>Sontarans>Sea Devils.

Hello playas! In Boston right now, seeing Wake get number 200 tonight, then skedaddling out of town back to LA before the heavens sweep Fenway Park away.

Did someone get the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch? Did the Lord 'smite them in His mercy'?

Maybe the Ghost Busters team is involved. We better find out because we need to keep this going!

And may I say, fuck that bitch Irene for fucking up my Sunday plans of watching the Sox.

@Madraider This is the error of NAMING Hurricanes. Now we have cast aspersions on every Irene in the world. There will be career terminations and broken relationships just because we pulled out some arbitrary name and slapped it over a storm.

I am all for going to a number system. Why do we have to get intimate with storms?

Should we attack the weatherman just because he reports weather? We can hate him when he tells us 'no rain' and then we head out on a trip that gets hit by a monsoon. I don't think hating him when he tells us to beware of a potentially dangerous weather occurance is even remotely sane.

Harumph! Yesterday, my 80 yr. old Grandmother slipped on some wet grass and fractured her hip. This is what you get for having the initiative to wake up early and go to the gold course in New York State this time of year. Needless to say, the folks in Central New York are hemmed in by 2 pissed off Irenes: the one on the weather channel and the one now in the hospital.
