Manny Can Go Screw!

The Red Sox Season!

Swept by the Angels (new best team in the American League)!

Why does Manny Have To Be Such A BITCH?

     Its a very sad night for me.  One of my most beloved baseball players manny ramirez looks like hes going to get bounced out of town in a trade.  Manny ramirez is definately one of the best pure hitters of the game in my lifetime.  He has been the nuts & bolts of the previous recent winning seasons for the Red Sox.  He is by far my favorite player on the team.  His easy going demeanor and goofy tactics makes him a likable guy. 

     Ha!Ha!Ha!  Who am I kidding.  Its his damn sweet swing that makes me and everyone love him.  Its the clutch effortless hits that he makes in a jam that makes us fans forget that he is a whiny little brat.  He went on the record before the game and said that the Boston Red Sox "Do not deserve Manny Ramirez"!!!!  WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Are you kidding me??????

     This is the part in the rant when i start to get pissed when I really break it down and think about it.  Manny has got away with more horse shit than anyone else around because he can hit the ball.  This city has loved and supported him through all his "Manny -being-Manny" anctics.  This city allows Manny to get a free pass and never talk to the media.  An unforgiving hard ass media all in your shit city like Boston has given this guy a free pass, and he turns around a starts talking trash and asks to be traded.

     Lets think about this.....  He makes count em' $20 million a year.  He is teflon here.  He is on a winning team with a great chance to make a run for the World Series again.  How does he repay Boston?  He says " I don not have mental peace here anymore"

     I think I speak for everyone here at this point when i say "Manny RAmirez can go f%$K himself and shove his childlike act far up his a#%!"  We're sick of it.  If he wants out, then send him out.  You're damn right its going to hurt the team, but if he wants to be a selfish little bitch the see your ass out!!!  We'll make it without you!

I'm not bitter or anything!  :)

The Angels Are In Town!

I think the whole Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim thing is a bunch of crap if you ask me.  They will always be the Anaheim Angels to me.  The Red Sox are taking batting practice right now.  Gates are just about to open, and I'm close to calling it a day.  Rush hour traffic home! YEY!!! (click to enlarge pics)

Love em' or Hate em'

      I've listened to the Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds cd "Live at Radio City" over and over for the past month and a half.  I personally love it.  What can I say.  I am a Dave Matthews fan.  I hate to admit this, but it was the ladies that turned me on to this dude back in 1995.  "Oooh I love Dave" and all that B.S. that goes with it.  As a muscician (guitar player), I was way into Dave's cool drummer rhythm type guitar style.  Very different, and very new.  So Mr. Dave Matthews has come up with a multitude of albums since my beginnings in 1995, and I have been a rather loyal follower.   Given, I kind of fit the stereotypical college frat boy Dave follower of that particular time period.  That being said,  I felt I was different (maybe not) as a person that could actually strum most of his tunes.

     To beat to the punch...........  Whether you like him or not, as a person that appreciates music, you need to listen to this guy.  His approach is so fresh (even 13 years after my stumble in) and unique compared to other musicians.  To clearify even more, I think it is Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds that you need to concentrate this effort towards.  The Dave Matthews band itself can be a little long winded and "Jam Band Wannabe'" without the meat sometimes.

      I come from a Chicago style blues influenced background where you play your music from your soul.  As Buddy Guy once told my dad in person, "You have to live the blues to play the blues".  Think about it...........?????  Thats a true statement..... Don't ya' think?  The "Live at Radio City" DVD  with Dave & Tim may not be specifically blues oriented, but it hits your soul in the same way that the blues does.  It makes you feel.

     To make a long story short....  I'm not getting any sort of kickback from anyone, but watch the DVD of Dave Matthews and tim Reynolds at Radio City Music Hall in NYC and tell me if it doesn't make you feel like your alive?????  Any challengers?  What can I say, I am a sucker for duel acoustic sets!!!  listen and learn my friends!

   

Best Notre Dame Wideout Ever Pitches in Wrigley Today!

My all-time favorite wide receiver ever for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish was brought up from AAA Iowa to Wrigley Field.  Your damn right I said best wideout ever.  Rocket may have had speed, but he sure as hell did not have Jeff Samardzija's 'Tom Waddleesque" hands.  It tore me apart to know this guy wasn't going to go into the NFL, but hell why the hell would he when he gets the opportunity to pitch at Wrigley. O.K... O.K.. his deput was less than stellar, but what the hell did you do today?  I know my ass was not on the mound at Wriglet Field throwing fastballs.  You have to give this 23 year old kid credit for having the stones to say i could care less if the NFL wants me as a top 5 draft pick.  Furthermore, you can look at it this way...........

     Jeff samardzija has a 5 year $10 million contract.  To put this in perspective, he makes $2 million a year, and he just stepped on the mound in the majors for the first time today.  On the flipside, look at battle tested all-star closer Jonathan Papelbon who was on the mound throwing the last pitch to win the 2007 World Series.  What would you think this guy makes?  $850,000 this year is the answer.  Samardzija is raking in almost 3 times that amount hanging out in Des moines, Iowa.  That deserves a bigtime WTF!!!!!  It blows my mind.  

     Moving on, I decided that I want to give being a sports agent a shot.  Although i know nothing about the business, I'm pretty damn sure that I could get a contract for Jonathan Papelbon for a hell of alot more money than $850,000.  What a joke....  Anyways, Cubbies lost on a walk-off today.  Can't win em' all.

Enough Said!

Rain Rain Go Away!

My goodness!!!!!  It is raining sideways here in Boston today.  We haven't had a good shalacking like this in a long while.  I hope the system runs its course today because there is no way that I want a double header this weekend with the Yankees in town!  It was a nice break with the All-Star game and the Sox being on the west coast, but back to reality tomorrow.  Truth is... I love baseball with a passion, but I just can't get into it this year.  Which is absurd when you look at it from the outside in.  My beloved Cubbies are having the best season in my life time (and maybe my fathers).  I work for the defending world series champions, and they have a damn good chance of repeating the feat.  What the hell is wrong with me?  COMPLACENCY!!!!!!!  Living in Boston has spoiled me rotten.  It makes me sick.  Every team (with the exception of the Bruins) in this damn city wins everything.  Given.... the Patriots lost in the Superbowl, but they made it there undefeated nonetheless.  I'm saying it here and I'm saying it now.  If I start acting like one of those pompous jackass Yankee fans, you have permission to slap the living shit out of me.  I'm serious!!!  If I become who I hate, its only fair for that to happen in order for the stars to get back into alignment.  I beg of you, put my ass back in line.  Given, my heart lies with Chicago sports, but its hard not to be inundated by all this stuff when its in my face everyday.  I walk by 2 world series trophies on a regular basis and am annoyed if my company wants to stop and gawk.  Thats just wrong of me.  Never become complacent as a fan!  Never!
