Cross town envy

Al:
36 plus hours latah and I'm still as pissed off about Game 2 as I was when it just ended.

 

---

Mike:
Seriously.  Even the Pats taking it to Dallas all old-school stylee didn't cheeah me up.

 

---

Doug:
I'm actually stahting to resent the Patriots … I mean every win, every additional example of their relentless execution just reminds me how effed up the Red Sox side of things can be.

 

---

Doug:
Think about it. Lets say Belichick signs the football equivalent of Eric Gagne, because, you know, they're willing to take a chance on a guy or see something they like despite his record et cetera.

 

---

Doug:
Now if the football version of Gagne were to be total suckitude in every game he appeahed, what are the chances Belichick continues to stick with that dude?

 

---

Doug:
And with a playoff game on the the line in extra innings, can you in your wildest dreams imagine a baseball version of Belichick putting a guy like Gagne in?

 

---

Al:
No effin way.

 

---

Doug:
See, that's what I'm talking about.

still doesn't top the original 'point-counterpoint' of Aykroyd v Curtin.... "Jane, you ignorant slut..."
but, hey, I'm old. Kaz wasn't even born then, and now he's all growed up as a doctor

"WRONG....JACK GERMONDOOOOO....."

"Well, John..."

"CORRECT JACKO, gag-ME..."

Ok...back to my van down by the river.

"Gagne, after the trade, you were probably saying to yourself, "Now, I'm gonna go out, and I'm gonna get the world by the tail and wrap it around, pull it down and put it in my pocket!" Well, I'm here to tell you that you're probably gonna find out, as you go out there, that you're not gonna amount to JACK SQUAT!" You're gonna end up eating a steady diet of government cheese and living in a van down by the river!"

[h.b.]

Too funny.

But that is what I thought about Gagne.

Thinking Oki for the 7th, Gagne for the 8th, Paps closing it out -- we will be unstoppable!!!

Jack Squat indeed.

Buckner, you pompous ass, Akroyd joined Curtin from '77-'78. I was born in 1977, thanks.

Cheeseburger, cheeseburger, cheeseburger, cheeseburger...

Kaz-
too funny. Was just in the Lauderdale airport, where they have a place called "Cheeburger, cheeburger". Must be relatives of yours?

[Kaz Dionasopolis]

Never heard of it, but after looking at the menu, I would be proud to have an owner in the family.

But if I need that big of a burger, there's always 5lbs of beef, 20 slices of cheese, 20 slices of bacon and 5lbs of fries at Eagle's Deli in Cleveland Circle (bringing the whole discussion full circle back to Cleveland (damn I'm good).

hmmm, sounds like a good spot for the next meeting of the unofficial Soxaholix eating and drinking society

Too hot in the hot-tub...make it cooler...Good God...

Gagne, "Your setup has become tiresome"

[soxdownunder]

Kaz/Buck - In re Eagles Deli - what is the first best place to pig out?

All else - chill; Matzuzaka-san to come of age tonight (full circle back to Nat's opening gambit).

Bob - just for you:

Youk: only one song per series. ;-)

fuck

[vasoxfan]

yes SDU fuck
DiceK san no good. Hari Kari you must.
Use a Boston bat there not being used.

[Bob]

The weird thing was, Dice-K had Beckett-like stuff. Wicked-nasty-shit. But then he'd throw something I threw in Babe Ruth League up there.

Is it just me, or does Wake seem to be the person you'd most want to have on the mound tonight? Other than a fully rested Beckett, of course.

I just love the guy. Yes, it's a man-crush, so kill me.
