Oh noz. Paps gets hax'd

Steve:
Well, the only sure thing is that there is no sure thing.

Mike:
Yep, just when you think you've got everything locked down, here comes Travis Buck in the 9th with a little 09-F9-11-02-9D-74-E3-5B-D8-41-56-C5-63-56-88-C0.

Mike:
And, bang, just like that, Papelbon's encryption is blown open up like a papier-mâché, donkey at Mexican birthday pahty.

Steve:
And now Rotoworld wonders, "If [Paps is] not better next time, the questions about the health of his shoulder will start."

Mike:
But, really, why wait 'til then? In Boston, it's nevah too early to worry.

P.T. - fair enough! TWL was off the top of my head actually but it would definately have been the Pound version.

Jason O. -

Way too much vitrol here today. It is way too early for anyone on either side to have bragging rights and even reserved exchanges like this amount to so many wasted words. As students of the game who can appreciate the relative strengths and weaknesses of each side, it is important that we be above petty bickering and enjoy the spirit the of rivalry in a friendly manner until one team demonstrates a clear dominance for this year.

I, for one, am reserving my words for June 2, 2007, the day the Red Sox officially beat the Yankees in the season series. Then all those m0th3rf~kk3rz can kiss my @$$ when I go strolling through the Bronx singing Tessie over a loudspeaker for all the pathetic Yankees fans to hear. Your team still sucks until then, and probably will long after.

While you're counting on Rivera to keep this friggin' one game winning streak alive, all our side is watching the bats heat up and counting the victories as they get piled on. Pathetic millionaires who can't get their act together if they tried, Cashman and Torre sold you guys a bill of goods shipped with a waybill from SOL Express. There is nothing for you anymore, those contracts are too big to be picked up by other teams, and eventually the team from the Bronx is going to have trouble getting JV high school players to fit into it's budget.

Excellence can be defined in many ways, and the Yankees are an excellent team of losers. Get out of there while you still can, having Papi come out in the 9th with the bases loaded is much more satisfying than watching Rivera drag his sorry carcas over that mound everyday. Torre is going to waste the bullpen, just like he does every year, and Rivera will soon be the least of your worries.

Despair ye mighty and look upon my works!

SDU -- you already rise above the pack of Red Sox Nation by nobly admitting the error of your ways. Who knows what sins you will confess to next -- perhaps your choice of teams to admire? In any case, Thunder claps for you. Watch how tomorrow's column will be aglow with talk of Beckett's sizzling 6-0 start; watch how Thunder will deflate and demolish with two simple words: Don Schwall.

Mike -- Thunder is growing weary of correcting the misquotes of Red Sox philistines. The quote in question is actually, "Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair." That's why it's called iambic pentameter. Thank you, at least, for acknowledging our mightiness. However, you are hardly the king of kings -- I doubt if you are even the king of queens. Perhaps you were the Harvard boy in the bar in Good Will Hunting. Once again, the Thunder has spoken.

Huston Street -- I'm all zen and shit about respecting one's opponent but are the Red Sox so fuqqin' cheap that they don't bother scouting the bedraggled teams of the AL West? I mean how is it that this punkass bitch Street takes just enough off to flummox Big Papi & gobsmack Manny game in and game out? I mean what the fuq?!?
