We Red Sox fans are capable of conversations on myriad topics, some related to baseball, some not. At times, we think about and discuss issues that effect the entire planet, while at other times, we'll gab about silly, trivial matters. It's all part of our enriching, productive lives.<BR/><BR/>Now fuck off.allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673233312198832937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-26863984526379773222008-04-03T09:09:00.000-07:002008-04-03T09:09:00.000-07:00"Joba didn't have a clean inning and it was the 8t..."Joba didn't have a clean inning and it was the 8th inning.

And again, Pap won the game, Joba pitched an inning.<BR/><BR/>Wait, so Melky really did get a curtain call? I remember saying to Allan in the game thread something about that, jokingly. They really are pathetic. I'm telling you, if the Yanks ever win a World Series in their lifetime, they won't know what to do with themselves...they'll lose their identity! hahaJerehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13448619048422750447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-85576639617379142802008-04-02T07:58:00.000-07:002008-04-02T07:58:00.000-07:00"Kevin Youkilis tied Steve Garvey's major league r..."Kevin Youkilis tied Steve Garvey's major league record of 193 consecutive games without an error by a first baseman on Tuesday."Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14809080115678512743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-37900478089802924922008-04-02T07:37:00.000-07:002008-04-02T07:37:00.000-07:00Joba probably makes that fist pump when ordering h...Joba probably makes that fist pump when ordering his egg mcmuffin each morning.<BR/><BR/>Irrational exuberance is still better than whining about bugs, though, wot wot.Benjaminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00421785398444449007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-80492387465108219822008-04-02T07:35:00.000-07:002008-04-02T07:35:00.000-07:00I agree.
