Drink up

Bill:
Ah, Christ, it's that time of the year when things are so slow that the lead stories concern births and dating gossip.

 

---

Bill:
So we breathlessly learn that OMG Theo Epstein and wife are now proud parents of a baby named Jack.

 

---

Mike:
And Youk's fiance nee girlfriend. Enza Sambataro, is not only hot but also is, among her friends, always "the first one to do something over the top and crazy." Whew. Exciting stuff.

 

---

Bill:
Yeah. Sox news in Decembah. Pathetic.

 

---

Mike:
And yet we'll invariably discuss Miss Sambataro's views on Ben Affleck's back hair at some point today..

 

---

Bill:
Yeah, well, remembah when Kitty Dukakis drank the rubbing alcohol?

 

---

Bill:
When you need your daily fix, you work with what you have.

 

---

Mike:
True. And the Sox playah wives and girlfriends gossip is still bettah than prophesying about the forthcoming Mitchell Report.

Timlin must be dessert!

The biggest shocker to me so far:

Clemens is really just a big pussy who can't even inject himself in the ass with steroids. He stopped taking HGH, not because he didn't like the side-effects or felt wierd after the shot, but because he didn't like "bellybutton shots".

L - fuckin' O - L

//McNamee injected Clemens in the buttocks four to six times//

LC, did it say whether this was a steroid injection, or one of the more, uh, "manly" type?

[Harwich Rich]

Somewhere Will McDonough is laughing his ass off :)

Yeah, Theo's judgment comes under question as both Donnelly and Gagne were accurately reported on by Sox scouts as risks. They seemed especially to doubt Gagne as a viable option; that trade looks ridiculously stupid now.

If I'm Quadzilla, I'm suing some jumping-the-gun NYers for libel. Those c#nts couldn't wait an hour or two to use the actual document as a source for their story?

[Bob]

Devine, imagine how the Brewers feel.

I have a vague recollection of a reporter asking Ortiz (David) whether he was worried about the new drug testing regime and the big fella replying - test away, all they will find is rice!

It is all quite sad, if not at all surprising. And what an emotional roller coaster for Natalie - to nibble or not to nibble?

SDU, here's Papi's favorite restaurant in Boston:

http://merenguerestaurant.com/

It actually has some amazing (though artery-clogging) food.

Some of us should meet up there for dinner one of these days.

[soxdownunder]

I'm there buddy...

[Bob]

Maybe we can get our picture taken there with this guy:

Hope that fits...

[soxdownunder]

[Scott]

How could you doubt The Captain? Shame on you!

[Richard Simmons]

Can I fit in between Natalie and nolasox?

This guy seems to break things down a bit more as far as the Mitchell Report.

This morning at RS Headquarters....

John henry: Nice work Mr. Mitchell. I think you'll find your X-mas bonus to your satisfaction this year. (smiles and hands George Mitchell an envelope stuffed with cash)

Mitchell: Thanks Mr. Henry. It's so nice to be back on the job here at SAWX Headquarters. And here's a little something for YOU, Mr. Henry. Perhaps you can use it to start your yule tide fire this evening...(hands John Henry an envelope stuffed with evidence indicting Varitek, Nom-AH and Trot Nixon as steroid users)

Merry X-Mas Red Sox Nation.....

[vermonter]

I didn't see Varitek on the list, Asshat Blunder!
