And my Taroc pack
Mike:
Cliff Lee doesn't just win his postseason stahts, he friggin pulvahrizes 'em.
Al:
And with each postseason pulvah, his price goes up.
Doug:
If his price gets any highah, the Federal Government is gonna take Cliff Lee ovah to offset the deficit.
Al:
Meanwhile, I hope John Henry and Tom Warner enjoyed their time on the pitch in Liverpool yesterday.
Doug:
Henry says they're going to be "frugal"
Al:
Yeah, he sees lots of "revenue potentials" and you know what that means...
Doug:
Make way for Pinklings.
Al:
Poor Scousers.
Mike:
Hey, now, don't knock the alternative revenue streams... like Henry said, we have gone toe-to-toe with the Yankees even though they have got a much higher revenue.
Doug:
Yeah, although aftah the past 2 seasons it doesn't feel especially toe-to-toe but more like steel toe-to-ass.
Sure! We went "toe-to-toe" with the Yankees and ended up coming out of 2010 at 9-9 against them! Hurrah! We were as good as the more expensive team who had the second best record in the AL down only 1 game to Tampa Bay. Great!
Now, can we focus on doing better than 9-9 against the Shitbirds of Baltimore? 4-4 against Cleveland? 4-3 against Kansas City? 1-6 against the White Sox??
By the way, Baltimore, Cleveland, and Kansas City didn't do better than 0.500 on the season...but we were only 1 game above them collectively.
Oh, but yay for "toe-to-toe with the Yankees". Bully for us.

I'm just looking forward to the charity test cricket match between the Red Sox and Liverpool.

Cliff Lee is ridiculous. I know he's human and all (I think) but that was insane pitching. Wow. 13 whiffs against that lineup.
Go Bruins.

Heh. While I was reading the John Henry story, a "Lower My Bills" ad popped up.
"I don't have 'Sheikh' in front of my name," quipped Henry. Actually, a person is usually known as a sheikh when they are trained in giving lectures. So JH may just qualify.

Cliff Lee isn't actually any good. He cheats with that goo on his hat. Just go ask Michael Kay. He'll tell you all about it.

I think Michael Kay is maybe a little biased? Or maybe taking too much of that good old fashioned medicated goo.

I can't see blaming Henry for this past year. The simple fact is that if our supposed ace goes 14 and 6 instead of 6 and 6, we win the toughest division in baseball. Trade Beckett for a bat and sign Lee.

Heh...Jeff said "goo"...

John Henry's a sheikh?
Let's hope he's not like this one.

First it was Mrs. Cleaver. Now Mr. C. ooooof.

And these things come in threes...

Nice beatdown of the MFY last night.

How's Mahts takin' it, one wonders?
