At least Mnookin and his over-exposed American League East franchise do not continue to spout LIES in their network advertising erroneously and arrogantly claiming, like the Yankees, to have "won more championships than any team in the HISTORY of sports." Bald-faced lie trumped up by Michael Kay in the YES Network commercials. It's like saying you used to be a Harvard-educated heroin addict...oh, nevermind.

I was at the Red Sox 2005 home opener, and I still possess enough residual electricity from the event to warm up Hot Pockets without the use of a microwave.

I'd be OK with helping. And from the sounds of the MapQuest post, I think a few Deadspinners have the arsenal for it.

I've only been to Fenway once. Derrick Lowe threw a no-hitter. It was the best experience I've had at a sporting event. And I saw Boston Rob there, and he was signing autographs. True story.

@1 Speed Bike: Eric Wilbur? Seriously? I quit reading his stuff because I couldn't get through it without getting irritated at what a bad writer he was. (Although I'm talking about bad writing from a technical standpoint. I have no idea about the subtance of it.)

I am severly disappointed with Seth's article. Not NEARLY the proper respect was given to King Felix. (That is the only nickname worthy of his glorious-ness.) It would be in his own best interests to bow down before the King, or else have his first-born son bequethed to him.

Seabass — Thu, 12 Apr 2007 17:01:56 EDT

I remember Cla Meredith's first appearance with the Sox. They brought him in in a high pressure, late inning, runners on base situation and (drum roll)... he gave up a homerun. One of the worst managerial decisions I've ever seen. Killed his confidence in Boston and now he's dominant in S.D.

No, I haven’t fallen into a stupor after last night’s King Felix-Dice K match up; I spent the day on the Acela, heading back home (yes, to New York). Also, the brilliant Will Leitch, the man behind Deadspin, asked me to do a write up for him.

Case in point, instead of allowing the fans to celebrate Pedro's return, EEI passed out K cards with PAY-DRO on them.

During the tail end of yesterday's game, my friends who aren't into the team as much as I laughed at the fact that EEI would be buzzing with callers screaming for Dice-K's head, after they had been praising his name a few days early. I couldn't even argue with them.

These guys make me laugh. If you want privacy, go play in Kansas City, i'm sure Clement would have a great time strapping on his bananna-hammocks and biking to Kauffman en route to getting his ass kicked by every team in the league on a nightly basis

Ask Mo Vaughn how much he enjoyed his "privacy" when he left for Anaheim and pissed and moaned about quiet fans the whole time.

i've been to fenway many times too... except mostly they involved pre-florida me at 8 yrs old, hearing an assortment of colorful words i'd never heard before shouted by shirtless drunks whom my older brother referred to simply as "bleacher bums"

apparently things have changed since i moved to florida
