Quick Red Sox Update
Hi there. I can?t believe how long it has been since I wrote anything about the Red Sox. I am not shaking off the cobwebs of sleep and making my bed, just sort of peaking my head out a little since pitchers and catchers report on Tuesday. My New York sports team affection (affliction) has taken a hit with two New England Super Bowls acting as book ends to a Boston World Series title. I kind of feel like Rocky in Rocky 1, beat up but ready for more.
So the big thing this past week is ?roids. The funny thing is that Boston sports and media have been pretty quiet since none of their players are being mentioned. Now that Roger Clemens has been named, he is suddenly that ?New York Yankee? player, not someone who played for Boston most of his career. The wonderful, hardworking, clean, honest, church going players of the Red Sox have not done those nasty steroids and never will because Boston is the greatest EFFING PLACE ON EARTH. Their sanctimonious crap about being all that is good while New York and everything else represents the prince of darkness himself makes me want to throw up in my mouth. But hey, what do you expect from a town that just won two Super Bowls and their first World Series since World War 1. This place ? writers, reporters, athletes, owners, fans ? are walking around like they just took home the prettiest girl at the dance. Good for them. I hope she?s high maintenance and is a terrible cook. Have fun Boston, enjoy where you are right now, you know how things work. It can turn bad quickly.
Talk to everyone in a couple of months.
