The Soxaholix: Whalebone ring

Whalebone ring

Doug:
Mental mistakes, errors, injuries, meteorites...

Mike:
So fah this season's sausage is woefully short of Sriracha.

Al:
This Globe headline covahs it — Sox Limp Home.

Doug:
Back to the friendly confines of Fenway.

Al:
Friendly except for the "snake in the grass."

Doug:
Hey, quit your bitchin' now. Haven't you seen how Dice-K is burning it up in his Triple-A rehab?

Doug:
Our prayers are so fucking answered.

Mike:
Why do I feel like Basho on the Cormorant boat right about now?

Well at least I have the Rockies...

Same record as the Nationals - now that is sad. I'm not sure who is more disappointing- Big Papi or VMart. I wasn't expecting much from Papi to start the year, but VMart is stinking up the joint on both ends of the field.

April tears arrive.
Ribs, appendix, wrist, Nancy.
Long fucking summer.

The Sox get shut out
Liriano pitches well
Basho had it right.

At least they will not
Get our hopes up by Summer
And then fail in Fall.

Heard 2 versions of this joke now, so I thought I'd pass it on to you all:

Big Papi was sued by Jay Z because he named his new Dominican nightclub "The 40-40 Club" (a name Jay Z already uses for his place in NYC).

(Here's where there are multiple versions) Papi settled out of court by renaming it the:

* .205/15 Club
* 40 K/40 LOB Club

Cormorant? Who's that?
Can he bat as the DH?
Damn, it's just a fish.

Lose the whalebone ring -
Big black bird needs chemicals.
Juice the cormorant.

Why does it seem like the off-season never ended?

I feel like I suspect Yankees fans felt last April.

WS title here we come!

Limp is right :(

Big Papi as a whalebone corset fitted on the team?

Posted by: yazbread | 2010.04.16 at 12:00 PM

his numbers are worse
but no one says anything
JD effing Drew

Posted by: lobstaman | 2010.04.16 at 12:44 PM

here's what I know about JD Drew - 2 more years on the contract that no one else will take. He's the wet fart in your last pair of underwear, so you just try your best to ignore it.

Posted by: Jeff in NC | 2010.04.16 at 12:47 PM

We resent that

Posted by: wetunderwearfarts | 2010.04.16 at 12:49 PM

Not us. We quite enjoy it.

Posted by: Wet Fart Underwear | 2010.04.16 at 02:13 PM

Boxers, briefs, or Depends?

Posted by: Bob | 2010.04.16 at 02:47 PM

lol

Drew is not so much of a free swinger, so I am saying briefs.

Posted by: Jeff in NC | 2010.04.16 at 03:26 PM

They were 2-6 after 8 last year. They won 95.

But admittedly not super-fun so far.
