Hold it now...Hold it now....Hit IT!

The Sox never seem to disappoint. From air guitar in the booth to diving catches and face plants, the second game of the day night double header was both entertaining and disturbing to watch. One must not forget that these guys go out there and play 162 games a year. Last night two players put their bodies on the the line for the team. Pedroia and Hinske both had full extension attempts in the outfield. Hinske actually made one and hung on to it after a face plant on the warning track. Thank God for the bill of his cap. El Guapo- take a good look at Pedroia. He might not crank out 100 RBI's a year but he's scrappy as hell and I like him. Thanks to Mama Pedroia for signing the permission slip allowing him to play!

Let's get the disturbing aspect out of the way first. Schilling, Curt, Sweetie. What. The. F*ck? Let's look at what you have to say for yourself this dreary May morning after you totally crapped your pants on the mound. Actually, forget what you have to say- let's listen to what I have to say. You're old, I get that. The wind was effecting fly balls, OK I'll believe that. You haven't walked more than two in a whole game and you had back to back walks last night. This is your second piss poor start in a row. In the grand scheme of baseball it wasn't horrible but I expect more from you; you're freakin' Curt Schilling! Our numero uno! Get it together, dude. Six innings, eight hits and four walks. You are truly lucky that you have some strong fielding behind you or the score would have been much higher. I was looking forward to a Schilling/Rocket match up. Not any more. God please- if you have one ounce of mercy please do not match those two up. It could cause me to stroke out with humiliation.

We took the series against the Tigers and I don't feel like crawling into the box scores this morning. It's Friday and this weekend brings us inter league play. Bud Selig was in the booth last night with Remy and DO. Everyone was pleasant enough to each other; they discussed Bonds and whether Selig would be there for Bond's breaking Aaron's record. Answer; he hasn't decided yet. They discussed the natural rivalries of inter league play and Selig did a great job of selling it. After he left, Remy set forth a tirade on his dislike of interleave play. I really hope Selig caught that clip somewhere, somehow. Way to stick it to the man Remy!

Let's have some fun with captions this morning!

Schilling: "Yah, I see it. You were right"

Tek "Yep- there goes your career. Right in the...."

Pedroia: "And I thought Mom was pissed at my ring around the collar. She's gonna freak when she sees this stain!"

Hinske: "You were right! Home runs are totally neato, Uncle Tito!!"
