Wow. Way to finish off the year with a bang HB. Happy Holidays to you and yours, and to all the creepy commenters here.

[Jeff in NC]

Brings a smile, h.b.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and so forth. For us, oyster roasts, beer, and enough chocolate to cure the wickedest case of constipation anyone can present. Hope all enjoy there own special kind of fun.

[Harwich Rich]

RIP Bob Feller

[jar in chicago]

HB, Wow! Your creativity amazes me every time.

Happy Holidays everyone!!

[Kaz]

And if you want to sing it for yourself, here's the instrumental version with karaoke cues.

[Billy Mahty]

lol

[Steve in MD]

Terrific h.b. The last time anyone asked me and my buds to be in a talent show we did a frogs imitation: Bud -Wise -Er. For some reason they never asked again...

[yazbread]

Bah humbug to one and all. For us, La Tourtière on Christmas Eve, roast beef and yorkshire pudding on Christmas Day. The success of the pudding is inversely related to my level of inebriation. Failures have dominated over the years.

[Bob]

I think somebody who a musician and who's played, oh, I don't know, at the Pru, should put this to music. But I wonder where we could find anybody like that...

[rm]

My family does the Prime Rib/yorkshire pudding on Christmas eve. I am so looking forward to it and to ribbing the yankee fans in the family :).

Excellent strips HB and looking forward to more come 2011. While walking the dogs (wearing my BoSox cap) at my parents this weekend I met a lot of other happy Sox fans. Everyone was excited about the how they "decked the halls of Fenway" and the line-up this holiday season.

Happy holidays everyone.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, hb and all Soxaholix!

[David Pinto]

I think the silicon chip inside your head got switched to overload. :-)

[LarryE]

My company Christmas Party is today as well. Although there might be music, there won't be a song as sweet as the above. Merry Christmas, h.b. and to all of Soxaholix Nation.

[MWL in MD]

Happy holidays, one and all! Thanks, h.b., for another stellar strip. My sister and I are going to work up this little ditty for our family gathering. Maybe the teenagers can download it to RockBand for Wii.

[James]

God bless us, everyone!

[vermonter]

Hmmm...I'll ask around, Bob, and see who I can find.

Stay tuned.

[Jason O.]

Anyone want to get a beer downtown later? I'm thirsty.

[ponch]

brilliant, sir, most brilliant. You and everyone else here have a safe and happy holiday season and New Years as I keep the faith from the Dirty Jerz.

[Hunterstars]

I can just imagine Doug with those Bono sunglasses as he belts out one of the most inappropriate lyrics in song history...

Enjoy your time off h.b.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

[Seamus]

Love finding a nice new pair of Red Sox in my stocking . . .

[vermonter]

Jason,

I'm in if you mean downtown Burlington!

[sonomasox]

absolutely brilliant, HB! Nothing like a walk off win to finish the year. Thanks again for all you've put into this creepy space.

My company party is not until tomorrow...after this, not sure if I can make it that long.

Best wishes to all here. Happy everything.

[Follower of Tito]

Spend Christmas eve with my wife's Québécoise family, or as they call it "Réveillon", tourtière, beef tenderloin, baked stuffed shrimp, and, of course, wine...usually sing a few carols in french (mine is particularly bad), but what the translation would be for Monsieur Roy?
Joyeux Noël to all or as we Anglais say, Merry Christmas

[Jim Loomis]

Mele Kalikimaka to all Soxaholix.

[Jeff in NC]

The GM that keeps on giving -

Bobby Jenks, 2 yrs, $12M Red Sox, done.

Anything else under all the wrapping paper all over the floor?

[soxdownunder]

Happy Festivas all.

sdu

[Bob]

Feels like Friday in here, huh?

Well, have a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year all.

Hopefully we'll have something fun to yak about on Monday (January 3).

[Lazlo Freem]

How you gonna beat that? Best wishes of the season to the creator and all his admirers. I don't find this place creepy at all.

[sanfransoxfan]

Brilliant! And Merriest of Merries to us all!

BTW... the slightest of revisions?:

"Where the only words flowing
Are all bittah rants and Jeters"

[Harwich Rich]

... and now the Feats of Strength ;D

[Steve in MD]

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all! (and a Bah, Humbug to those offended by that...)

[Jim]

Grand Slam on your final at bat of 2010, hb! Well done. Merry Christmas to you and all the happy Soxaholix. 2011 can't come soon enough, make it a great one.

[BigBri]

Your minions allow you to set the bar pretty low H.B. And even by those standards, this one suuuuuuucked. Have a shitty Christmas and a fucked up New Year. May your truck day (the most low-rent day in baseball) be filled with flat tires and calls to AAA.
Hugs,
Bigbri
P.S. Crawford will pull a hammy in Spring Training that will hobble him all year. And once we get past your so-so starters, we'll feast on that shitty bullpen. And we'll steal 6 bases a game against Tek (the cowardly captain).

[vermonter]

I thought I smelled something.

[louclinton]

that's all you got, spaghetti dick?

[BigBri]

Lou,

That's not what your wife said...

BB

[BigBri]

Vermonter,

You sure it wasn't your ass?

[thompson13x]

Bri, come on now, you needent vent your horrific off season frustrations upon us. We were not the ones who kicked sand into your vagina. You should redirect this hate to my friend Theo Epstein. He can be reached at:

4 Yawkey Way
Boston, Massachusetts 02215

Give that a shot. Oh and hey, this off season you at least get the opportunity to enjoy that multi year, over the hill, off season Jeter renew, Clown...

[pseudosanity78]

Hey yaz, if you want perfect yorkies every time pre-heat the dish/tin you're making them in until it's at its absolute hottest and then dump the batter in the tin and bake. Lovely and fluffy everytime.

A creepy Chrismas to all and to all a creep time!
Cheers to you all and wishing everyone a fantastic holiday season.

[Kaz]

Yeah, our "shitty bullpen"...

Evidently the only shitty thing about our bullpen now is the pants of more intelligent Yankee fans than yourself...and your's, but that's just called "Friday".

[SSA]

Great strip!

Merry Christmas, etc., to all!

[lobstaman]

Don't worry BB, I'm sure the signing of Russell Martin and claiming Jordan Parraz off the waiver wire from the Sox will completely turn the Yankees around.
I hope your mom got you a Real Doll so you can have a friend in your basement dwelling this christmas.

[Big, important Urm ( seriously, I mean really reall huge, dammit!)]

H.B.:
Many thanks for making this a funner world with one great strip after another. How do you do it?
I read this creepy strip and Doonesbury; I watch Jon Stewart; am I missing anything important?

By the way: what sort of doofus calls himself "Big" anything? Can it possibly help ease the pain?
One way to find out:
Haddy Grimble to all.

[Dorothy the small and weak]

Well...that didn't help much. I still feel like shit.
Try again:

[sanfransoxfan]

Actually Bri, while thompson13X says you should direct your hate to Theo, I think you need to add to that list Cashman (and his headwarmer?) and most importantly, the Yankee fans in the stands who were spitting on and pouring beer on Cliff Lee's wife during the ALCS (remember that series? "Yankess swept in 6").

You sound like you might have been one of those fans, so perhaps you should redirect your hate at yourself? Yankees fans helped Cliff decide it was worth leaving ~30M Yankees dollars on the table to NOT GO THERE.

Happy holidays - It's too bad for you they won't be as happy as ours!

[BigBri]

Wow. So much stupidity. Let me break it down one dumb son of a bitch at a time...

thompson - by July you and the rest of SAWX Nation will be bitching about how Theo's off-season acquisitions are under performing. Given the fact that you haven't been able to secure a decent shortstop since No-MAH left, it seems odd that you'd turn your nose up at Jeter. Jeter's a winner. We'll see who is smiling in October...

Kaz - was that even a sentence? In English??? If...you...could just point out a subject. Or a predicate I promise to do my best to figure out your retarded ramblings...

Lobstaman (poor man's Crab fisherman) - Just a week ago you shitheads were crowing about how great it will be to sign Russell Martin. So enjoy Tek all season long. He's awesome...

Big important etc., etc. - You are right. This strip does make the world "funner". Let me guess, MIT grad, right?

And finally, SanFran - Uummm, teams don't get "swept" in 6. Please stop pretending to be a baseball fan. I don't give a fuck that we didn't sign Cliff Lee. He had a horrible World Series and a 7 year contract was too long. Let him go to the NL. Fuck him. And don't lecture me on fan behavior. You can't find more poorly behaved fans anywhere than Philadelphia...unless of course you look in Fenway...

I'll leave you all with this:

The people said, "LOOK! The SAWX have gathered the finest players in the land! Isn't that great?!?"

"We'll see, said the Zen master...we'll see"

And now I must finish watching the Patriot Killers (NY Giants) destroy the Eagles...

[BigBri]

Yeah, that last part....not so much. Don't you wish the Pats were as good as the Eagles?

[sanfransoxfan]

Bri,

"swept in 6" was the very funny comment from the NY Post after your team was eliminated this year - hope this explanation helps. I love the Post - they were also responsible for "The Choke's on Us!" headline after Game 7 of the '04 ALCS. Today's Headline? "Giant Choke!"

Thanks for playing.

[Kaz]

I love it when the world tells BigBri to eat his own shit. That's how I know everything is as it should be.
