it is stuff like this why i love this site:

20. Daisuke Matsuzaka – In the spirit of globalization, I had my Dice-K comments translated into Japanese then translated back to English for our Razzball readers. Here’s what I was left with, “Dice-K’s outlying numbers warned of impending tsunami. Luckily Red Sox bring Hello Kitty toaster and make bread of opponents. Sayonara.” Preseason Rank #23, Preseason Predictions: 17-7/4.00/1.25/200, Final Numbers: 18-3/2.90/1.32/154

@Steve: Crikey is right (whatever that means) worth staying up and having to go to work on 5 hours of sleep. ****Will now take comments to next post****

@Freak: It's all part of the master plan to show how brilliant he was to save Shields for Saturday.

I wonder if Joe Maddon regrets taking Kazmir out for no reason.

Nancy Drew continues the Mysteries as they go to Tampa. Its all about the jinx, “The champagne is on ice.”

@Grey: Crikey. Worth staying at work for.

The crowd goes wild for Coco Puffs!

Write this one down – “This one will be a comeback of all comebacks!”

Side note, still won’t challenge being down 3-0 to the Yankees.

“And somewhere men are laughing and somewhere children shout;
But there is no joy in Mudville — mighty Casey has struck out. ”

but Kotsay catches up to one and brings up Crisp who only needs a single, while the Mini-Papi waits on deck for a rattled Wheeler.

Pinch hit for Tek – What can Casey do?

Hippo – what was that about Nancy Drew?

Another gem – Bedlam in Beantown.

Sorry Papi.

Astonishing observation from Rick Sutcliffe:

Dustin Pedroia plays to win.

“Trying to put the hammer down.”?
“The champagne is on ice.” Hopefully a jinx in the making.

Check out those poor TB fans in the front row. They don’t know how to act!

That guy with the yellow sign ain’t leavin without some bruises.

@BSA: That commercial kinda creeps me out.

By: BSA

BSA — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 02:24:50 +0000

Hey girl can I hit ya back – That commercial cracks me up!

Anyways back to baseball – I agree and that is why Papi should have shut his mouth after game one.

I am worried about how bitter that pill will be for him to swallow from his recliner next week! I am worried about having to listen to all the pundits tell me the Sox lost because they didn’t have Manny. That is what I am worried about.

My name is BSA and I approve this message for change!

This sucks – I’ve seen this Kazmir before and he is untouchable in his current state.

By: Grey

Grey — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 02:19:11 +0000

@BSA: This is gonna sound a bit like Bill Simmons, but I think the Sox are going through what Rocky went through in the first half of Rocky III and the Rays are Clubber Lang.

@BigFatHippo: You know Affleck has taken some photo ops with Pesky only to walk away saying, "Who was that?" They wouldn't stick you in Boston, that's too quick! You might be dragged up to the bleachers, beat down, and escorted back to your seat with a pat on the back so you can try it again. We're all about second chances!

@Grey: LCF- I almost thought you were referencing the Red Sox starting pitchers this series.

On the fake fans:
If I didn’t say it already I work in a middle school and the kids went to NY today and one kid asked me if he should were his Boston hat on the trip. You know me I told him, if you’re a fan wear it. He responds, “Nah, I think I should were my Yankee hat since I am going to NY. I told him to get away from me.”

@Grey: Think Ben Affleck even knows who Johnny Pesky is?

@BSA: That's not me to the left of home plate. If I wanted to annoy Jerry Remy I'd go to Fenway. Probably get knifed, but I'd go just for the fun of it.

By: Grey

Grey — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 02:07:43 +0000

@BSA: Eh, no real fans can afford those seats anyway. Unless you're Ben Affleck.* That was sarcasm. He's about as real a fan as everyone who attends a Rays game, except for the Lone Crazy Fan or LCF but not to be confused with the Least Common Factor.

@BigFatHippo: Faith: don’t let your love turn to hate
Right now we got to
Keep the faith

If I didn’t have faith I would have gone to bed in the third.
There’s another gem, “The Red Sox are in deep trouble.”

BSA — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 02:02:52 +0000

@Grey: Its kind of sick but check out the guys behind homeplate. I think they're sitting on their hands and are thinking, "How much did I pay to experience this up close and personal?"

By: BigFatHippo

BigFatHippo — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 02:01:39 +0000

@BSA: Lead off walk is better than walk off lead. You're still in it, keep the faith.

By: Grey

@BSA: Oh, yeah. I watched them multiple times. Their fans are pathetic. I'm assuming there's going to be more Yankee fans at the World Series than Rays fans.
