Bitch Tits!!!!!!

This story just continues to be funnier and funnier. New revelations about A-Rod have come out. Not only was he doing roids in Texas, but he may have also been doing roids with the Yankees, during high school, and even while he was in his mother's womb!



And to top it all off, he was known in the Yankees clubhouse as "Bitch Tits" by some of the players. You can't even make some of this shit up...

Jonathan Van Every!

Another day, another Red Sox win. Yawn. Tonight's hero was little known Jonathan Van Every. Tito's plan was to give Youk and Drew the night off, which makes sense since the MLB season is a marathon and not a sprint. You would think we'd have a small chance of winning since 2 of our starters were out, and it sure looked bad when we started off down 5-0. But these Sox have a lot of fight. We scraped and clawed back to tie the game in the 8th, then proceeded to silence the tribal drums when Mr. Van Every launched a changeup over the center field wall with 2 outs in the 10th. If you aren't sure who Jonathan Van Every is, well he's the guy who slapped hands with Manny Ramirez after this play.

Needless to say, Papelbon came in and got the save. Let me ask you all a question. Does Papelbon look really shaky this year? I mean, you can only throw the same pitch (fastball) so many times before people begin to catch up to it. It looks like Paps has changed his delivery this year to try to make it more powerful, but it'd be nice if he threw something other than the fastball. Well, whatever. It's working. We've won 12 out of 13 games (Amit, you look so dumb right now) and we have the best bullpen ERA in the league. Again, it's a marathon and not a sprint so the entire season can change based on a couple injuries. Let's hope that doesn't happen.

In other news, Let's Go Celtics!

What a game!

So I went to the Celtics game last night. All I can say is:

• The Garden was rockin'
• Rondo is the best player in the series
• Paul Pierce is pretty friggin clutch
• Joakim Noah is a woman
• Ben Gordon is an assassin
• Don't leave Kirk Hinrich open, EVER
• McLovin is a Celtics fan

So after work, I head home, eat something and head on over to this bar called the Rattlesnake for pregame festivities (aka drinking). It was the first time I've been to this place, but right from the bat, I knew that this place sucked. I walk up to the bar and the bartender chick takes forever to notice me and take my order. By the way, I was one of only two people at the bar without a drink, and to top it off I was holding my hand up signaling to her that I was ready to order. Finally, she gets to me, I place my order and tells me that it costs $5.50 for a Sam Summer. Are you f-ing kidding me? This is a dive bar, not the fuckin Ritz. Plus, she didn't even fill the glass all the way up. C U Next Tuesday, biatch.

I filled up on WTF...

Well anyway, the point of going to this bar is because they have this outdoor roof deck that's supposed to be pretty cool (as in, it's the only reason why people apparently go there). So we walk over to the door that leads upstairs and there's a guy manning the door, only allowing a few people up at a time, like we're at Wonderbar or something. Keep in mind that the roof deck only opened 5 minutes earlier and there were maybe 10 people up there, while there were like 40 of us in a stupid ass line waiting to go up. Naturally, I'm getting pissed off because I already finished my beer halfway through the line and I was just waiting there like an asshole for 15 minutes to go upstairs to an empty roof deck.

Finally that asshole lets us up there and I must say that the roof deck isn't anything special at all. A bunch of ghetto ass tables, waitresses that weren't even remotely good looking, and poor service. The only bright side was that we were outside. So we stayed for about an hour then decided to bounce. I'm not going to that shit hole ever again.

The place is actually shittier than this picture...

Now to the good part of this story. We (me, jimbo, will) got to the Garden right around gametime and settled into our seats (5th row balcony). You could tell from the minute we walked in that the atmosphere was second to none. People were going nuts, the Garden was rockin, and I had been drinking. What a great combo. You know how the jumbo tron prompts people to cheer at certain times? Well you know it's a good crowd when people are cheering without being prompted. This happened throughout the evening.

I'm not going to do a play-by-play since you can read that on any sports site, but I want to mention some of the highlights of the game:

• Rondo taking it coast to coast for a big jam early on was nuts
• Kendrick Perkins was a monster on the glass and had tons of timely blocks
• Joakim Noah is a pest on the offensive glass
• Paul Pierce looked out of it for the first 3 quarters
• I was featured on the Jumbo Tron for like 2 seconds during the 1st half I think
• So wasn't McLovin!

So anyway, you all know what happened. The Celtics and Bulls went to a THIRD overtime in 5 games and the C's pulled out a nail biter. I was going crazy the entire game and I've never been more mentally and physically drained from a sporting event as I was after last night's game. We all hope Danny Ainge has not had any additional heart attacks because of this series, but I'm starting to think that I am going to have one.

The TRUTH!

After Paul Pierce carried us to a 3-2 series lead, the Garden filed out in a massive uproar. Everyone was going crazy. Cars were beeping all over the place. Strangely, it almost seemed similar to a championship reaction. People were so damn happy. I then ran into a man by the name of Christopher Mintz-Plasse AKA McLovin! He was walking towards Haymarket with his agent or dad or something like that. A bunch of people were taking pics with him, but I didn't have my camera, so I just went up and talked to him. It was brief, but he's a pretty cool kid. He's a big Celtics fan, he weighs maybe 100 pounds, and he acts more like "Fogell" in real life than "McLovin". I think he might be in town to film a movie or something. Who knows.



So that was my night. It seems like every night has been crazy for me recently. Last Thursday, we went to Kells on my birthday and I got all fucked up drunk. Friday I went to the Sox/Yanks game (Bay game tying 2 run dong, Youuuuuuk walkoff). Saturday I went to Ed/Lauren's wedding (congratulations!!) and drank all day and night. Sunday I went to the Sox/Yanks finale (Jacoby stealing home). And Monday I rested.

Tonight, I'm going to Cafe Escadrille in Burlington for a family dinner. It's almost like everyday lately has been my birthday. Boston sports teams keep winning, I keep drinking, and I'm eating ungodly amounts of food. On top of that, my buddy Karlo (one of the first guys I met at Bentley) just moved back to Boston so I'm pumped to meet up with him since I haven't seen him since his wedding 3-4 years ago.

Side note: I have tons of fuckin pics/videos from Patriots Day, the marathon, Red Sox, Celtics games, and last weekend's wedding that I promised people I'd post. This is still going to happen but I need to find time to offload them from my camera to the computer. I will get some of it up this week, I promise.

Till then...

New post coming soon

Had a great weekend, which in turn will equal a pretty big post with pictures and shit since I got a new digital camera a little while ago. Can't post today since I have a ton of work to do and I'm going to the Celtics game tonight, but hopefully I'll have it done by tomorrow.

Stay tuned...

The hits just keep on coming for Isiah Thomas

Are you kidding me? Just listen to his introduction as new coach at FIU...



And then watch this video:

Beckett suspended 6 games

I'm actually not that surprised. Not a single punch thrown in the bench clearing incident during the Sox-Angels game and Beckett gets suspended for 6 games for throwing a pitch that doesn't even hit anyone. No other players were suspended. The official decision is that he was suspended for his "aggressive actions after the pitch that incited the bench-clearing incident."I didn't see any aggressive actions after the pitch. He walked towards Abreu and they were barking at each other. Big deal. If that's called being aggressive, then how come Abreu didn't get suspended for arguing back, nor did Torii Hunter get suspended for trying to go after an umpire, or Justin Spier for going after Beckett? It's all in the video that you can watch below.



Listen, it's understood that if you call time out in the middle of a pitcher's delivery, you're risking injury to the pitcher (for trying to halt his pitch mid-throw) and you're risking injury to yourself (for pissing off the pitcher enough to throw a pitch up and in if he decides to complete his delivery). I understand the gamesmanship here. Abreu is sending a message to Beckett by calling time out at the last possible second and Beckett is sending a message to Abreu by giving him some chin music. It should've been left at that. But naturally, everyone gets all upset and the league overreacts by suspending Beckett. Fortunately, he's only going to miss one start but it's still silly. As little as five years ago, this would have been a non-incident. It's a shame that we now live in a world full of pansies and crybabies, so this suspension shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.

If the Angels should be pissed at anyone, it should be this guy.

I didn't even know this was a real last name...

There was a soccer game between two Brazilian teams yesterday. Read the article and just look at the last name of the coach from team Caxias. High comedy.

This kid is fucking awesome

I've been meaning to do a post on this kid who dances at Celtics games. If you have been to a Celtics game this season, chances are you've probably seen this little 7 year old black kid dancing like crazy. He is, by far, the best dancer ever. This is not up for debate. It's so ridiculous that I almost don't even care if the Celtics lose, as long as this kid gets shown on the JumboTron.



His name is Daylon Trotman. Here he is on the Ellen DeGeneres show.



Best. Dancer. Ever.

The Yankees won the world series last year?

I never knew they granted consolation visits to the White House...

Red Sox Opening Day 2009

The quest for our third championship this decade begins today...


I just bought a digital camera so I'll be taking pictures at Fenway today. They will be posted on the site once I figure out how to actually transfer them from the camera to my computer.

I crashed my car today.
