RedSox stagNation

I don't get it. It was never fully explained to me why the RedSox are not using Bard as their closer. He was the heir apparent after Papelbon left the Sox no? It was either explained and I didn't care because the Bruins were/are in the playoffs......or it left the building with Theo and Tito. Well the Bailey experiment is off to a disastrous start and the Sox are off to a disastrous start. BARD is still penciled in as a starter? Somebody please make sense of this because I cannot....

The best Sports town in the U.S.A.

Ever since I was 7....I have had a reason to doubt the Sox. In '78 I was introduced at a young age to the future. In '86 they broke my heart. In 2004 they erased 86 years of 'curses' and of taunting gems such at "19-18, 19-18" and "Don't worry there's always next year!". In 2007 They are hated....more than any previous team in memory.......even more than the Yankees. They also erased any doubt that we have the best baseball town and baseball team owners on the planet. They also erased any foreboding scrutiny....in my mind. I was skeptical until the end of the season. Then they put the Angels out of their misery. They got into a huge deficit to the Indians. I was actually looking forward to see how this team responded and they won three straight! Two of the most incredible comebacks in sports history all within 4 years. I can no longer question Terry Francona on his baseball moves. He truly 'manages' a team and allows that team to develop a personality.....then he guides that team to victory. Although the 'hater' websites and blogs are at an all-time high.....we Red Sox fans all know that they are ridiculously jealous. So hate on us for the Red Sox all you want. We get to look forward to one of the greatest football teams in NFL history for the rest of the year!

A message to all you haters of RedSox fans and RedSox nation!

Are you ready?

I'm not...well at least not fully ready bankroll-wise. I forgot that there is a 7-day turnaround on epassporte deposits! 7 days! I have exactly two tokens and a very small amount on FullTilt. I have enough on Stars after my 2nd place finish in one of those 360 max tourneys last week. There is only one semi-blogger tourney on Stars though. That would be the Monkey tourney on Tuesday nights....I play while I'm playing the Bodog Blogger extravaganza. The Monkey tourney needs your help! I just may not be able to join the 'Big Game' on Sunday. I am in for all the others though. One point about the BBtwo and blogger tourneys in general...........I love how every double-up is scrutinized as a 'bad' play by the 'bad' players....but a 'good' play by the 'good' players. I fully admit that I have made some of the worst plays in online poker tournament history....lately and last year. Ahhh, the dichotomy of it all..........
Two things :
Go RedSox
Go Patriots

How 'bout them RedSox.........and how 'bout them Patriots. Both teams have brought so much excitement in the past few years. The BEST IS YET TO COME!!!!! The look on Tom Brady and Bill Belichick's faces at the end of the playoffs last year means one thing for this year. Superbowl!! You know it....I know it...now after the draft and free agent pickups....everybody knows it!
As for the Sox....if anybody had any doubts or have wondered what a pro thinks...then read 38pitches
Read Curt S. verbally bitch-slap that IDIOT Gary Thorne (stick to hockey you douche...at least you do something right). Even though Mr. Thorne decided to recant his statement....he still made one of the all time gaffs in broadcast history.
Another entertaining link for you politicos out there.....It's an interesting read on the politics of politics (huh?).

I'm going up to North Conway, NH this weekend for a wedding. Should be a great time with some golf and partying mixed in. I'm thinking about selling my condo.....it will be tough to give up. It's a 2 bedroom flat on a 9-hole golf course. If I sell it then I'm going to WSOP with 20K in my pocket.....just kidding. I'm going to invest much of it into my small house. I'll fix it up and put a porch on. It's not in bad shape but it needs a new roof and vinyl siding etc. The porch is needed because I'm a (sit-on-the-porch-with-a-brew-and-a-grill-kind-of-guy) porch lover. In a couple of years I'll probably sell that house too....then buy my parents house. Can't wait for that (has an awesome roofed porch that I grew up on). So anyway, I'll end up bringing my new laptop PC so I can dial-in and play a couple of late-night tourneys. It killed me when I went of vacation last year.....because I couldn't play online poker for a week! (actually I snuck out on the fam. to play at my weekly bar league NLHE tourney....and cashed). Now at least I don't have to worry about my laptop PC dying mid-tourney or right before the final table.

I can't believe my daughter is two years old now (actually on Cinco de Mayo). It makes me think of how much my priorities have changed. I used to be sooooooooo mad if my A's got cracked by 8's...like in last nights Daily Double B tourney on Full Tilt. Now it's funny.My parents have graciously offered to babysit for the weekend while we go to a wedding.....PARTY TIME!!!! There just isn't anything more important than family (and babysitters who happen to be your parents). I'm rambling here....but it's true. So this weekend I'll be watching a new family formed before my eyes. They will however be blurry with booze........
I'll be going to another bachelor party in June. The last of my high school friends is finally going to get married on June 30th. We are all 35-36 and I'm still going to bachelor parties. Here is the email of the June 2nd festivities.....it's not Vegas but it worthy of a........weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Ok all I have booked the limo, the golf times, and I will get all food and booze.

Here are the details:

Saturday June 2, 2007

9:00-10am meet at Rick's

I have two Foursomes booked at 10:32am 18holes,Falmouth Country Club(resident rate), with cart

I will get all food and booze

I booked a party Van from 8-2am

In short all expenses outside of lap dances will be included the amount per person is roughly $100-120 a person. If you are not playing golf it will be around $50-70. Please let me know if you are not playing. Remember Golf really is just a bunch of fat white guys drinking beers and hitting a ball. No one is a serious handicapper. Any questions let me know.

Hopefully lot of these will be doing this :
