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.
