6/14 - Sox Beat Pedrito on Flag Day

[yeszir]

And met the football guy from ESPN (looks like a bird) but his name escapes me.

 

I know exactly who you mean. Not just a bid, but more specifically a vulture.

[ORS]

John Clayton? The dude who always does point / counterpoint with Salisbury?

[VA Sox Fan]

Seriously looks like a bird, with a bad comb over, acne pock marks, glasses.

 

Now that you mention it ORS, I'm pretty sure it was John Clayton. He was trying to get to Seattle. He was drinking white wine and on his lap top, nice guy.

No doubt bro. I'm a chick and 5' 9" or so, couldn't believe how tiny he was although he was sitting down most of the time.

 

Very nice, but unfortunate looking dude. He has a nice gig at ESPN considering their love affair/hard on, etc etc w/ the NFL.

"unfortunate looking" My 20 year old daughter uses the same term in place of "ugly".

Yeah, me too.

 

Folks can't help the looks/genes they were dealt in life, so just trying not to be a bitch about his unfortunateness, but great career for him.

The coolest thing though? Jason Varitek was at the airport, trying to get to Cinncy, I got his autograph (Very low key about it) he still wasn't feeling well from the strep. It was awesome, he signed my Sox schedule (pocket size one).

 

That's awesome! :thumbsup:

[VA Sox Fan]

That's awesome! :thumbsup:

 

I thought so too. He's my second favorite current player behind Manny. I was nervous but psyched!

 

Also saw the Twins v. Guardians at the old Jake (Progressive Field) Wed, very nice ball park. Not a bad seat in the house. Grady Sizemore had a 3 run homer but since they kinda suck right now, they lost.

 

Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame was also very cool. Otherwise, Cleveland does the opposite of "rock" IMO.

well, that was the first time I saw Papelbon get rattled. He recovered though. BTW, Hansen nearly s*** his pants when Cabrera got on base.
