A friend of mine said this the other day, and I have to say I agree...

Regarding Jorge Posada

"Why is everyone making such a big deal? The best thing Jorge has done for the team this year was to take himself out of the f#$%ing lineup"

He should consider himself lucky he is given a spot in the lineup, him Girardi have never got on though

I'll be at the Death Star next month for three games, so I'm sure that the Highlanders will be back on form by them just to annoy me !!

Red Sox vs the Cubs this weekend, any predictions UK Redsox?

This was a series that I looked at attending but I was already booked up for the Waters gig tonight and, of course, the end of season Villa victory over Liverpool.

Seeing the Cubs at Fenway would have been great.

The way that the Sox' offense is playing at the moment, they should be able to handle the Cubs. However, this run can't lat forever and the Sox are also struggling for starting pitching. Add to that, Daniel Bard's appearances from the bullpen are starting to worry me almost as much as Papelbon's.

Bard gave up back-to-back homers last night and then Pap loaded the bases in the ninth. Good to see Crawford coming thro' with the walk-off hit.

Well I think the sox will win 2-1 in the series, we are desperately in need of good pitching and give it another season we should be a reasonable division contender again, we just swept the marlins but that isn't saying much, It would be great to be there as they haven't met since 1918 but it would need some open wallet surgery after!

So Cubbies, how was your trip back to Fenway after 93 years away?

"Cap Anson, Ernie Banks, Ryne Sandberg, Ron Santo....... Can you here me Ron Santo? Your boys took one he'll of a beating"

I even managed to get a win for my Fantasy team out of Jon Lester, which wasn't to be expected when giving up 5 runs and 12 hits over 6 innings.

A-Gon is starting to look like the player we expected at last.

I was watching it and there was a great atmosphere, the sox bats got hot and the cubs couldn't keep going. I still think it the sox will win the series 2-1 but we need some pitchers.

There's your one game TLS. Even though the Sox did send out the Pawtucket pitching staff.

I see that the Sox have designated Daniel Nava for assignment. Still, if he never makes it back to the Majors, he'll always be remembered for hitting a Grand Slam on the first ever pitch he saw.

Wow, the sox turned winning easily into as defeat, we weren't even close and then there is the weirdest inning with errors and some bizarre decisions, plus some very cold weather in Boston.

Wish I had been wrong, did you see Byrd getting beaned in the face?

Yep, he was lucky to get away with just fractures. He could easily have lost his eye.

Meanwhile, Cleveland keep on rolling and are now 30-15. How long can they keep this up ?

From the film but quite apt for this season

Quote
All right people, we got 10 minutes 'till game time, let's all gather 'round. I'm not much for giving inspirational addresses, but I'd just like to point out that every newspaper in the country has picked us to finish last. The local press seems to think that we'd save everyone the time and trouble if we just went out and shot ourselves. Me, I'm for wasting sportswriters' time. So I figured we ought to hang around for a while and see if we can give 'em all a nice big shitburger to eat!
