“Hey, Didn’t You Used to Be in Fourth Place? Uh-huh-huh-huh-huh.”

by Red on June 25, 2012

It seemed to take us a bazillion years to climb above .500 and drag our asses out of the cellar. The last thing we want is to be sent back down there by the current occupants.

So here’s the thing: let’s take all three games. Or even two out of three. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to put a little more space between us and the Blue Jays, as that slender one game lead makes me nervous.

Tonight’s game sets the tone. I feel good with Doubront on the hill and Our Man Middlebrooks firmly ensconced at third base. Let them have fifth place. They’ve probably already put up their Rush posters and Joe Carter fatheads anyway.

Oh, and our friends at TiqIQ would like to remind you of the deals they’ve got for this Blue Jays series. These make an offer deals can’t be beat and tickets can sometimes be had for as low as $10, and you don’t have any pesky service or shipping fees to worry about. Get your asses to the ballpark and cheer the lads on in person!

Blue Jays @ Red Sox on 6/25: Save 42% and offer $36 for 3-star seats (list price $62,82).
Blue Jays @ Red Sox on 6/26: Save 33% and offer $105 for 5-star seats (list price $155.12).

I think someone should sing "Youk Got What I Need" for old time's sake.

Remember that early Royals lead against Tampa? Well, it's later, and that lead is now an ass-whupping.

Grounds crew doesn't seem to be moving very fast.

I've decided to grow a playoff beard. This is what I tell my mom when she asks why I haven't shaved in almost a month.

Bautista pimped that a bit, I'd drill him next at bat.

 @BB.13 Chicago is batting him second.... I dunno I'd have him that high.

 @Madraider their lineup looks pretty solid the way it is, konarko behind dunn, rios behind konarko, etc...

 @BB.13 Yes, it's not that, the idea is he has some power left, I would think you'd want the protection for Dunn.

I have managed to source a decent copy of Inside Fenway Park: An Icon at 100, which was on PBS recently.Interested parties should contact Mr Blue in about a week or so. ;)

 @English Sox Fan Why a Gerry & The Pacemakers cover of a Broadway song when they could've picked a Beatles song, any Beatles song?

 @Madraider There's really not that much fighting any more.  Aren't they going to play at Fenway soon?

I may have to turn this off so I can write. And apparently they were doing better when I wasn't watching.

 @English Sox Fan I finally have a computer that is working and I'm dreadfully behind on Top Gear.

 @English Sox Fan One day I'll get digital cable, have BBC America, and can watch the reruns ad nauseum.
