Fitzy - Jim Rice - NESN - Red Sox Pregame - It Happened

Last Saturday night - June 6, 2009 - definitely going down as one of my favorites to date.



And to think - I got to go to the game and watch Jaw-nee Les-tah deal that complete game gem?  That was the definition of fahkin’ sweet!

Anyway - we got us some Sox vs Skanks this week.  The rivalry’s renewed!  Game back on!  More sports and pop-culture cliches for the bluster and hype that comes before a Sox/Skanks series!  I’m pumped - might even get to go to a game if the weather gods don’t ruin the fun.  We’ll see.  One thing I know we will see is a much better Skanks team, one that’s 20-8 since StrayRoid came back to the lineup.  They’re mashing.  They’re pitching better.  They’re playing clutch when it counts.  They’re firing on a lot of cylinders.  And they’re still the team I hate most on Earth and can’t wait for the Sox to beat.  Lord willing - OVER AND OVER AGAIN!

And then there’s the mater of A-Roid’s first at-bat back at the Fens since, well, um...



I’m smiling on the outside, but I’ll be crying on the inside after the Fenway Boobirds have their way with me this week.  Why they make me so sad?  They so mean to me!  What I ever do to them?

New Sox webcast should be up Wednesday, and it’s a gem.  Until then, and forever and a day after that...



PS - Here’s a gem from ABC News Charles Gibson about Fenway that just gives you that, you know, Fenway feeling.  Cheers and Beers, Charlie.
