Bold prediction

By this time tomorrow the Red Sox will have gotten Roy Halladay and Marco Scutaro from the Blue Jays in exchange for Clay Bucholz, Jed Lowrie, Jacoby Ellsbury and cash.

What better way to put the Papi story on the backburner and divert attention - good or bad.

OK, maybe it won't be THIS deal, but you can bank on the fact the Sox will do something HUGE tomorrow.

Well, duh!

Just got the news that Big Papi did steroids back in 2003.

Some will perceive this as shocking news.

Not me.

Of course Big Papi did steroids. I'm betting Varitek did, too.

But you know what? Who cares?

If someone told me that I could be out of baseball and broke or famous and rich and all I had to do was stick a needle in my butt, I'd do it. And most of you would too.

Heck, if someone told me now that there was something I could take that would make me a better writer or photographer but that it might make me die younger or grow bigger man-boobs, then I'd take that risk if it meant I could provide a better life (via more income) for my family.

I know, not a very PC opinion. But at least its honest unlike the gnashing of teeth and outrage this "outing" of Big Papi is bound to produce from some media members and citizens of the Red Sox Nation.

Another great parody

Must admit I'm not real familiar with the original song, but as an aging gamer I think this is funny on so many levels.

Enjoy!

Blame it on ...

Ever since Weird Al Yankovic appeared on the scene back in the early 80s, I've loved song parodies.

I recently came across this parody of Jamie Foxx's hit song Blame it on the Alcohol.

The production quality is amazing and I think the lyrics are better than the original song's.

The Sterling Shake

Came across this video the other day. It might be of interest to anyone who has ever heard Yankees radio broadcaster's signature call at the end of the game - Yankees win! Thhhhhuuuuhhhhhh Yankees win! I had no idea of the physical toll this call takes on the poor man.

It's a short click and HI-larious.
