I am amused that you are shocked at how bad Fox's MLB coverage is. I mean, you've heard Tim McCarver, right?

I blame it on wedding planning. After this is over, I am never making a decision ever again. Facebook status? Permanently indecisive.

Angels Sweep Red Sox, Head to ALCS

they've now got strong ties to several players (Ortiz, Lowell, Schilling until this year, Beckett, Wakefield, Varitek) who got them not one but two prized championships after such a long drought.

Beckett and Lowell had nothing to do with the first Championship.

The Truth Hurts

Kevin Youkilis once pulled out a single hair from his beard and hit three grand slams with it.

Kevin Youkillis was the fourth wise man, who gave baby Jesus the gift of beard, which he carried with him until he died.

Oh you had to bring Chuck Norris into it.

Fine.

Under Youkilis' beard, there isn't a chin. Just another first baseman's mitt.

Roger Clemens -- Wait for It -- Denies Using Steroids

If Clemens' spirit breaks, there are drugs he could take to recover it more quickly.

He'll also enjoy a more robust, faster and massive spirit!

But his personality will shrink to the size of a raisin. /sad trombone

Manny Ramirez suspended for substance abuse

The sadness comes because the 2004 and 2007 World Series championships won by Boston are now tainted.

I suppose it's just like anything else... I mean, Clemens and Pettitte were pitching for the Yankees championship teams when they were supposedly juicing.

Manny Ramirez suspended for substance abuse

However, two sources said the substance Ramirez tested positive for was a gonadotropin. Major League baseball's list of banned substances includes the gonadotropins LH and HCG, which are most commonly used by women as fertility drugs. They also can be used to trigger testosterone production. Testosterone is depleted by steroid use, and low testosterone can cause erectile dysfunction. - Yahoo

Red Sox' Beckett Suspended Six Games

I contend had he stayed at the mound and made jazz hands, it would have been awesome. Especially if Pedroia and Lowell came in and did a little shuffle-toe, shuffle-toe in the background.

Alex Rodriguez tested positive for testosterone and and Primobolan in 2003.

Has he kicked puppies?

Is anyone going to believe him even if he says he didn't?

posted by jerseygirl at 03:45 PM on February 13

Oh No, You Di'int!

This would have the added bonus, for a Red Sox fan like myself, of putting us back in the "haven't won a World Series in like a million years" frame of mind that we prefer to be in. It also would allow us to blame the Yankees for robbing us of our World Series victories, which is also an opinion we like to express.

Speak for yourself, chief.

In other fiction news, I will later be making an FPP about what happened on 'Desperate Housewives' this week. Did Susan finally let go of Mike? Did the Scavo family rally around Porter? Is Eva Longoria going to stop looking frumpy?

Gary, why can't you delete it?

And what happened to "Can't post an FPP until you've made X amount of comments?"

Also X should equal 25 and Corey should be banished from the interwebs.

Don't forget, Bostonians, this decade also gave you Mystic River and The Departed. I think Scorcese is still filming "Ashecliffe" in town, too. It's another Dennis Lehane book turned into a movie. There had been about 6 major movies filming in/around Boston so far this year. That said, it was fun to watch the Celtics. I'm not really into basketball much anymore, but I really enjoyed watching the playoffs. Happy for Pierce and KG.
