  1. Crosby was mugged by the press after the game and still shook hands with half of detroits roster. He missed Nick Lindstrom who got castrated just to play in the Cup finals, thats a shame f*** Chris Draper. Sid did nothing wrong accept answer questions, Pitt won fair and square and Detroit is looking as classy as their 5.00 whores who roam Dearborn Ave
  2. hes at .340 with 4hrs in June I believe. Ever since Opie Callahan told the city of Boston he should be released Ortiz has come on strong. Is he out of the slump for good or is he just hot now and destined to cool off? The yanks and fins pitching helps many guys who are slumping.
  3. At your age you're lucky you can remember how to get home from work. Hows my favorite daughter of Dixie today?
  4. I had the Yankees as a huge favorite when sabby pitched the other night and they gave me s*** pains by falling behind and only taking the lead in the 7th, thats expected when you play DC and their enemic bullpen. Last night I looked at Wang against that lineup and almost pulled the trigger but backed off at the end due to his horrible ERA,his 2-1 price and the general suck that is Wang circa 2008-9. He didnt disappoint Yank fans entirely and despite going 5 and giving up 3 the NY press is orgasmic in this heroic effort but that ball Dunn hit may still be in orbit. The Yankees need some patience at the plate, ive seen them flailing away at all kinds of pitches that they should be taking,especially Arod and especially with men on base. How many hrs would Babe Ruth hit in that ballpark considering Damon may approach 35 this year? What a f***ing joke these power #s will be come the end of the year. In fairness to Texeira he has hit everywhere but Ive seen 220 foot pops to right that get caught up in those port hole jets and they just float and float. The Yanks have the bats as well as the #s that go with all that talent but lets admit that they dont play good team baseball as everyone is out for their own #s,especially that purple lipped pole smoking needle boy who wasnt quite sure if he should play for the usa puerto rico or dominica in the WBC. Hes pressing too hard....After Gardner stole 2nd and 3rd last night i figured they were home free but that double play ball to end the game was a heartbreaker and Cano,who had been hot needed a ball to lift to tie the game, thats all he had to do but he couldnt get it done. Imagine the pain in the Bronx these days if Castillo couldve caught that pop up that most 9 yr olds can catch,the one that lost the Mets fridays game? They wouldve been swept by the sox, beaten 2/3 by the crosstown douchebags who blow large working dogs and are now facing a tie breaker for the series against 1 of the worst teams in the last 75 years? I do love NY newspapers when the Yanks have a bad run. Nobody eats their own like the NY press,even our *******s look like self help guru's compared to the angry little men like Mike Lupica and Joel Sherman.
  5. What can you say about wake... The man keeps coming and coming and now hes in his 15th summer in boston and soon will be our all time winningest pitcher. The man has closed, he has long relieved and he gives you a ton of innings every year. Would he be the guy i wanted to pitch in game 7 or get 3 outs in the 9th? f*** no but he gives a bigger bang for the buck than any other pitcher in the american league that isnt getting paid minimum wage and unless he gets hammered in the next couple of weeks is sure to be an allstar... unless Jack Madden wants to f*** around with us. His off field work and the charities he started even when he was with the pirates speaks for the kind of character this guy has...A great asset to the team, to the clubhouse atmosphere and to the community and i hope he can give us 160ip for another 5 years.
  6. Dwight Howards inability to hit a single free throw in game 4 ended the season for orlando. a couple of gag jobs in game 2 and 8 missed free throws in game 4 gave this series to the lakers. Bryant played unreal and Gasol showed up too but Orlando blew 2 chances to make this an eventful series so f*** them and f*** that idiot writer in Orlando who proclaimed Dwight Howard as the next Bill Russell.
  7. Detroits run ended on their own ice and they went down swinging but theres a new champ now and like edmonton in the mid 80s, pitt maybe around for a while while the wings get older. Great month of hockey we had and it ended in a game 7 with the game being decided on a last second save by pitts goalie...
  8. Girardis claim to fame is he almost had the Marlins playing 500 ball. Immediately the yankees fire their manager who won 13-14 divisions in a row and replace him with the ass clown of the day, this being Joe Girardi...I dont think the vets like him, i dont think the kids respect him and I dont think he has confidence in being in NY long. Girardi is an inferior manager to Francona and francona pulled a hit and run 2 nights ago with lowell running to 2nd and tek up..A worse hit and run combo has never been attempted.
  9. Shaq was the best player in the league and had to be taken out of the game with under 2 minutes on offense because he was a liability.. He also had the luxury of playing with Kobe and Wade, men who can make their own offense and men you dont want to put on the line in crunch time, so hes got 4 rings and all of them deserved. Bill Wennington and Chuck Nevitt have 5 rings. Orlandos best option is running their offense thru Howard, hes their biggest mismatch on the floor. the Oneill teams didnt have to go thru Oneil to win and SanAntone didnt have to go thru Duncan either. Its the 2nd game in this series that Orlando handed to LA due to their inability to hit layups and free throws, I havent seen such futility in the clutch in the finals ever and we're talking about free throws, not 22 footers that are being contested.
  10. There was an article by an Orlando writer last week that made its way to the Herald which annointed Dwight Howard as the next Bill Russell. The boy is physically gifted but when all you need to do is sink 1 free throw to tie the series and you then proceed to gag on both of them then you arent the next Bill Russell, youre the next Nick Anderson. The team missed 7 ft in the 4th quarter, any one of them gives them the game. Gag job by the Magic of season ending proportions perhaps these behemoth 7ft 275lb superman can learn to sink free throws in the offseason instead of going to the rap studio and bling shopping. simply disgraceful, if anyone on this panel had a year to prepare shooting free throws Id bet all of you would be capable of hitting 50% from the stripe,why cant dwight howard make 1 with the entire f***ing season on the line?...cock f*** bitch spermburping heathen motherf***ers make me insane with their lack of the simplest of tasks, making free throws isnt an art, theyre called free for a reason.
  11. Jacko will be here, he will be talking about their new draft picks and 5 tool superstars and dominant high school talent but he wont hide like some of the others do. The boy is too much in love with the game and our company to stay away.
  12. Someone stole a 12 yr old girls wallet at my daughters theater workshop last weekend. It had to be an adult associated with the production as all the kids were accounted for and the doors were locked from the inside...Nice society we live in,very proud of humanity when this s*** goes down. The sox are a big dog tonight Jun 11 925 NY YANKEES C SABATHIA-L -150 o9½-115 -1½EV 4:10 PM 926 BOS RED SOX B PENNY -R +140 u9½-105 +1½-120 Anyone else think that 9 1/2 runs is easily attained this evening? It isnt hitters weather but we hit sabby and penny is facing his hardest assignment yet with NY being powerful as well as patient...
  13. Wang hasnt been the same since the shellacking he took in the 07 playoffs, his foot maybe the problem but its now year 2 of using this as an excuse.
  14. If the dog didnt stop to s*** he wouldve caught the rabbit.
  15. The sox have beaten the piss out of 3 yankee starters this week, including Phil Hughes who should be starting instead of Wang,Wang is awful and has been for a while now. The only guy the sox had any trouble with is Brett Ho Ho Tomko, an original member of the 4men of the apocolypse rotation, he sucks. What happened? Wasnt Rick Helling available?Couldnt they find Joey Hamilton? Im sure Dave Burba is readily available....Seriously speaking when neither Burnett or Wang can get you into the 4th inning you're going to get beat, all these guys have to do is keep their teams in the game so their bats can give them a chance to win but neither starter could do it and neither could the Cy Hughes, a kid who is being missused terribly by Girardi. theyre pissing yellow all over the front of their pants with BB's up the ass, even an extra base hit for George Kottaras to add insult to injury. Is Wang finished? Does he still suffer from whiplash after he got pummeled in the 07 playoffs by Cleveland? He hasnt been the same since and although foot injuries can f*** you up in a 100 different ways this excuse is long past palatable, he simply sucks. My favorite web gem was the glorious effort Nick Swisher made on Pedroias ground rule double. Timmy Lupus makes that play. Another banner evening for Arod and meanwhile Mark Tex is making a run for MVP as he's the only guy on that roster who is frightening... Thank God we have these guys on our schedule as we'd be behind Toronto if we didnt own NY as much as we do.Beautiful morning here in the valley of the mighty Blackstone, Im going to pinch the chubby chick in the mailrooms ass now, im feelin the love
  16. Nate you're a strange duck
  17. Remember when Knoblauch hit Keith Olbermans mother 22 rows up after fielding a ground ball to 2nd base? hillarious, f***ing hillarious
  18. I was speaking of the versus network that draws about as many viewers as a Rosie Odonell Kathy Bates steamy session of love making would draw.
  19. The last time Boston started 6+0 against NY was in 1912, the year Fenway was built. Hows this staff and their corresponding #s.

This team had 84 triples....and 29 hrs, 10 by Tris Speaker. The oldest guy on this team was 31, can you imagine how long they wouldve been on top had they not moved Babe Ruth 6 yrs later? 84 TRIPLES 185 STEALS 654 RBI 799RUNS and a record of 105-47. i love comparing the different styles of play and how theyre compared to todays behemoths. Heres the link and sorry about the s***** lines. http://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/BOS/1912.shtml
  20. Ortiz had a good weekend and last nite he got the game winning RBI, going long last night was tuff due to the rain wind and low cloud cover, not a night for homeruns. God help the rest of the league if we can get him back to 75% of where he was. Becks was solid and now has put together 5 weeks of domination and tonight Wang Tung comes to the fens....boooooooooyah...every body wang tung tonight. He got annilihated in his last start and still managed to cut his era in half. And whats with Burnett?..What happened to his ahh dominance and painting the corners and bringing the high cheese and keeping the sox off balance? He looked liked he'd rather be getting backdoored with his head stuffed in the toilet than pitching last nights game.. This is the guy who frightened me just like Carl Pavano did in 05, hasnt Pavano won more games in Cleveland in the last 2 months than he did in his illustrious 4 years in NY? Thats f***ing solid.
  21. A great series thats going down to game 7, some beautiful hockey on display. The problem is Pitt is a small market and a football city. Detroit is broke, humble and has huge problems like the end of the automobile industry in America to deal with along with massive unemployment and the complete destruction of the housing market. Point being this should be a series that puts hockey back in the national picture but based on early ratings nobody is watching and this is sinful.Gary Bettman needs to take shorter money from a big network rather than taking a bigger cut from the current channel theyre on. Back to hockey. I have been touting Detroit since the playoffs started but I ended up betting on Pittsburg because of the way their 2 superstars are playing and also because Lindstrom Datsyuk were supposedly out for Detroit...Lindstrom has played in every game and Datsyuk(sp), their leading scorer is back. Home ice has ruled this series so far and I am going to stay with my initial prediction. Detroit in 7.
  22. Becks has been solid as of late and down right dominant at times. the staff in general....fukin solid man
  23. Had to get in on this tonight. Burnett hasnt pitched for money in 6 years, his toronto days were meaningless. If he cant step up and pitch well enuff to at least give their bats a shot who can? Sabby is pitching well but he cant beat us, wang is useless at this point as well. Joba competes and has pitched ok against us but petitte seems like hes lost a few MPH and is very beatable...The kids like Hughes will need to perform in order for the yankees to handle us head to head down the stretch...Ive said 1000 times that Burnett would be the key in NY yet after a good start hes become pedestrian against the rest of the league and f***ing atrocious against the sox. This is just what Ortiz needed, a mid week set with NY after a decent weekend. Man i hate the f***ing Yankees. Oh, and solid.
  24. Someone needs to be moved, who will it be? The investment in Dice K not withstanding who gets you more?Penny or Dice? Penny is pitching better and our investment with him can be considered somewhat of a success already. Are you going to move the youngsters like Bard Bucholz Bowden or Masterson or do we intend to leave John Smoltz in Rhode Island for the year...Somethings gotta break and I was merely exploring every and all options.
