Shut up.

Who annointed you Mr. Annoying Spelling Guy this week?

Here lies M&M Guy
He occupied a space out in a field.

I've always been told I'm outstanding in my field.

(Or am I out standing in my field?)

I've heard rumors that the original Mr. ASG is in some sort of supernatural contact with JR. You might not want to tempt fate like this.

I'm assuming one of them will go blind.

And then get stuck in Hackensack.

Sox won last night in 12, with the new guy tripling and scoring the winning run. They're up big tonight, so they're doing ok without Manny for now.

I'm sorry that it came to that point. Manny clearly didn't want his option picked up and it seems like he acted up to get out of Boston. That's pretty sad to me. He hasn't been as great a hitter as he was before last season, but he's still very good.

There was a report in the Providence, RI paper that said the Sox veterans met with Theo and said that they didn't think they could count on Manny and that he had to go. That's pretty amazing to me, if it's true.

On a totally unrelated note, on this day in 1979, Thurman Munson died. I'm not a Yankee fan, but even I remember exactly where I was when I heard that. I was only 13, but I knew how big a deal it was.

You mean you are 42 years old. I thought you were only 32 years old.

Sox up early in KC, although Buckholz just gave up a solo shot. I am starting to have nightmares about the mid-August swoon in '06 that started by being swept in KC, then swept again in St. Pete, and culminated in the most recent version of the Boston Massacre -- the Yankees' sweep of a 5-game series in Boston. Hopefully, the Sox offense continues to show signs of life and eliminates the possibility of a repeat performance. (Although Bay just struck out looking for the second time. )

Sorry, Mick, but I'm rooting for Cleveland for the next few nights.

No praw, Chuck.
Indians are in a great spoiler role right now, and they could win 8 of next 10.
Twins are pretty amazing. Real fine team.
Leyland went off on the Tigers 2 days ago, so they may wake up in Chicago, but the White Sox can always find a way to win; and they win 7 of 10 in one of the parks in Chicago.

Uh-oh. Sox can't get any traction, Lowell is still hurting, and now this. From ESPN.com:

Boston Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz said he felt a "click" in his troublesome left wrist in an at-bat in Monday night's loss at Kansas City, the Boston Herald reported.

In the ninth inning, with two men on base and the Royals leading 4-2, Ortiz grounded out against Kansas City closer Joakim Soria. He said afterward that he felt a click in his left wrist early in the at-bat, the Herald reported.

Gee, Chuck, what a shame. You got a couple of players hurting but still playing. What a catastrophe!

Let's see......

The Yankees lost 3 out their 5 projected 2008 starters to injury for most of this year-Wang, Phil Hughes and Ian Kennedy. Of course, they also haven't had their $10 million man, Carl Pavano, for the last 2 years either. And now it looks like they're gonna lose Joba Chamberlain too. They've also lost an all-star catcher for the rest of the year in Posada. They haven't had Matsui hardly at all either- another all-star in left field- and he's probably gone for the year too. A-Rod and Johnny Damon spent time on the DL too. Oh, and Mariano Rivera is currently unavailable because of a bad back.

And you're whining about a couple guys who have a little boo-boo but are still playing?

Lah me.....you BoSox fans.....
