Great pre-game ceremonies today. Patriots, Bruins and Celtics players from the past were there. Everybody came out to get his ring, Johnny Pesky raised the championship banner in center field, Bill Buckner threw out the first pitch to Dwight Evans. Buckner got a HUGE ovation, not a single "boo" that made it to the microphones.

And Dice-K walks to the mound. . .

Easy, just put it in the glass with the beer. You guys in the great Pacific Northwest need to get out more.

Were the Patriots there to film the preceedings?

Sox/Yanks, Part 1, starts in less than an hour!

(Sorry about the M's in Tampa Bay. Ouch! ESPN's Page 2 had "rejected T-Shirt slogans" and the Tampa Bay slogan was "Last Chance to Make Fun of Us!")

1) Yup, and I gotta watch it on NESN. Don't get YES on my dish. Gonna have to mute the sound.

2) What do you expect? JJ Putz is on the DL. They're a shell of a team without him.

So, Chuck, how did you get the pass to get into the new stadium construction site?

(I assume you had somethin' to do with the buried shirt?...)

You take the good wih the bad.

Miss USA is being hosted by Donny & Marie Osmond, Donald Trump has a front row seat & is in full pout and one of the judges is more effeminate than any of the contestants... but it seems to be a man.

On the good side... NY wins 4-1 on a 2 hitter by chin-min-poly-woly-ding-dong wong.

edit - they just named the top 5. Who knew there was so much silicon on planet earth??

Complete game too. That's almost as rare as the Cubbies winning anything meaningful.

And now this bit of news.

Alou says he wouldn't have caught Bartman ball.

So I realize that today's Yanks-Sox game went long because of the rain delay and that the end of the baseball game cut into the beginning of Fox's NASCAR coverage.

That said, they decided to cut away with the Yankees trailing by 1 in the top of the 9th - 2 outs and a full count on Cano. (At least they switched it over to FX, which I frantically scrambled to locate on my TV.) I realize that Joe Buck has no clue about what makes interesting baseball, but I would think that the director in the truck might know.

I would give you a hard time if you watch NASCAR too.

Peace
