Wonkin the wonks

Al:
Wow. Is Ellsbury on fiah lately or what?

 

---

Doug:
Seriously. Washington hasn't taken such a beating by an Indian since the late 19th Century.

 

---

Mike:
And what about Jason Bay?

 

---

Doug:
Are you kidding me? Washington has been that beaten by a Bay since Cuba 1961.

 

---

Mike:
What a way to staht summah vacation*.

 

---

Doug:
Absolutely. The Red Sox are making fecund my summah!

Vacation (Have to get away)

Your omniscient author in absentia:
OK. I had every intention of creating a strip today, but, as it goes, I'm on vacation and I overslept.

Speaking of vacation, I plan to publish tomorrow but Thurs - Mon will be hit or miss (mostly miss) as I'll be nestled in a cottage at the beach.

However, I can provide simple placeholder spots each day I'm away for you Soxaholix to do your usual thing. Let me know if this is something you'd like.

And for those of you thoroughly disgusted by my being on vacation and the lack of publishing, please email me a refund will be issued ASAP (and by "refund" I mean, of course, a rented sunset, bitches).

Go Red Sox!

Talkin' Nick Green

Bill:
You know as much as love the towering over the Monstah shot and the gargantuan straight away to centah shots, there is something so cool and uniquely Fenway about the Pesky Pole sneak arounds.

 

---

Mike:
Especially when the Pesky's are walkoffs in the rain.

 

---

Bill:
And especially when they are by a previously labeled ne'er-do-well utility man who was discahded by the Yankees, was languishing in Triple-A, and who when first slotted into short by the injured Sox proceeded to led the league in errors.

 

---

Mike:
And especially, especially, when the walkoff is only the second of the guy's career and his first came when he was with Atlanta in a game against... wait for it... The Boston Red Sox.

 

---

Bill:
Baseball — What a friggin game.

 

---

Look out Nationals, the Red Sox are coming for you

Al:
I know the Sox can't win 'em all, but damned if I don't go into every game expecting a win and I'm irrationally disappointed when they don't.

 

---

Doug:
Sounds like you have a case of Soxpectation. It's pandemic in these pahts since Octobah 2004.

 

---

Al:
Seriously. And my Soxpectation is going to become even more acute as they go to DC for two.

 

---

Mike:
Remembah early on back in April when the Sox were 2 and 6 and we compared them to the Nats?

 

---

Al:
Ah, you know, nothing like a little panic to get the spring sap flowing.

 

---

Mike:
In hindsight it feels pretty silly to evah doubt this team in the era of having a single, ovahahching philosophy and sticking to it like beach sand on a bathing suit.

 

---

Al:
Absolutely, I mean take a look at the numbahs — Sox #1 in the AL in OPB and in pitched K's.

 

---

Mike:
It's pretty simple — battahs get on base, pitchahs throw strikes.

 

---

Doug:
So simple yet it took 80 plus years to figure it the frig out?

 

---

Al:
Seriously. It took less time to decode the human genome fercrissakes.

The Dandy 500

Bill:
I hate to break this to you, but it seems you *cannot* make money from blogging.

 

---

Mike:
Oh, now they friggin tell me?

 

---

Mike:
Jeez. So much for buying my dream house on Nantucket... Now I'll just rent a sunset and say 'fuck it.'

 

---

Bill:
Cheer up, kid, there's always Twittah.

 

---

Mike:
Yeah, and my ShamWow franchise at the Burlington Mall.

 

---

Bill:
Alright, so hat tip to John Henry, the Boston Red Sox, and all of us fans for the 500 consecutive sold out games at the Lyric Little Bandbox.

 

---

Mike:
Remahkable.

 

---

Bill:
The best fans evah. Rooting for the greatests club evah. Playing in the greatest ballpahk evah.

 

---

Mike:
Our resplendence has no bitch!

The Daisuke Conundrum

Al:
Oh, Timmah, you've done it again.

 

---

Mike:
If once again Wakes doesn't get selected to the All Stah game it'll be a travesty.

 

---

Doug:
Abso-friggin-lutely. If Wakefield isn't on the All Stah rostah I'll boycott the game because it'll be a situation worse than Hitlah.

 

---

Al:
So are you ready for the 6 man rotation?

 

---

Doug:
Smooooooltz!

 

---

Mike:
Interesting that Dice-K is getting bumped. Didn't see that one coming. Heh.

 

---

Al:
If Smoltz has a good outing this could get intriguing.

 

---

Doug:
Don't forget, too, the kid we know in Pawtucket, yelling promote me now or suck it.

 

---

Mike:
The Daisuke Conundrum.

 

---

Al:
Maybe he'll get disappeared to the DL?

 

---

Doug:
Yeah, he goes away and we nevah hear from him again until years latah when he's found living in a cave on a Pacific atoll.

 

---

Mike:
We kid we because we love.

 

---

Doug:
Yin and Yang.

 

---

Al:
Seriously. My love for Dice-K is the sound of paint drying on growing grass.
