Youk Of The Nation

There were six shutouts today. Three of them were 1-0 games. According to baseball reference, there have been seven shutouts in a day 8 times in the history of baseball, and 8 shutouts once.

I guess I just never ended up in bed with a woman who wanted it so dully.

I clarified this for you.

I think the last time I used missionary was the first time I ever had sex.

Ambiguously?

You shouldn't have wasted all of that money getting Nomar to post here.

It's probably all of those illegal deviant porn sites

You'd be banned for being really, really obnoxious, sort of like how you've been for the last hour or so. Stop posting like a 12-year old on meth or you're gone.

There is nothing wrong with posting drunk...or so I've heard...

I'm merging this with the Dodgers thread because I don't want this thread title on the page. Ugh.

He may have. But he has enough good years left barring injury that he may have gotten a much better offer from another team, and I think locking him up for as much as possible was the smart move.

All of the Yankees' fan giveaways for the rest of the season are going to be stale hard candy and coded messages about how the nurses are stealing.

I'm sorry, but how do you know this? There is only one person who can know this for certain, and that is Pedroia himself. Plenty of guys have sworn up and down that they'll play for their first team for their whole careers and then scarpered as soon as they were offered enough money to buy a private island made entirely out of cocaine-encrusted tits. There are guys who have assured the Red Sox fan community that they would never, ever, ever play for the Yankees because they hate them and whatever else, and then ended up, shockingly, playing for the Yankees. I'm not saying guys like you describe don't exist, because they do. Wakefield was one, we know that because of the recurring contracts he signed. But Dustin Pedroia is a far more valuable player than Wake ever was, and to say with 100 percent certainty that "he is one of those players" is ridiculous. The only way to know that for sure is to wait until he is done playing and look back. If he takes less money to stay with the Red Sox in the future, then he probably is. We have no way of knowing, however, if he would go to another team if they offered him more money or incentives or platform shoes. The Sox signed the deal that they considered to be the best one to keep him in Boston, so clearly the FO, who know more about the situation and Pedroia's options than any of us, felt otherwise.

Gahhhh I f***ING HATE the Yankees.

Or John Cougar Mellencamp, either works.

I don't know, ask the bat boy after he moves it out of the way of the GIANT CELEBRATION AT HOME PLATE!

They need to win here so the headlines can be "Pedro Beato the Yankees"

Looks like it's time for yet another walk off. I say Iglesias drives it in.

I have to agree with BTR. (Assuming you guys are talking about "Yankees Suck"?). It's short, simple, easily chanted, and accurately reflects the feelings of nearly everyone in Fenway Park. It will never get played out. There are few things more satisfying than listening to 30 thousand people all united in their hatred of the Yankees. It brings a tear to my eye and an uncomfortable erection to my pants.

I am most certainly not marking these words.

Agreed. If the Sox win, make the gamethread before you sign off for the night, just in case you can't make it the next day.

Damon didn't retire?

Derek Lowe retired.

We'll miss you, whoever you are.

Of course you do.
