Stagger Lee got Beckett. Oh, he got that poor boy so hard.
Doug:
Fercrissakes we're back to seeing people use "Red Sox" and "wild card lead" in the same sentence.
Mike:
And it's back to back to back shutouts for the irrepressible Cliff Lee.
Al:
Meanwhile, Josh Beckett looked like a guy who has spent the last 12 days puking and not pitching.
Mike:
Despite all this I remain firmly half-full with glassy metaphor.
Doug:
Shit yeah, I'm happiah than a Doctor Who fanboy with a gingah fetish.
Mike:
But you *are* a Doctor Who fanboy with a ginge binge.
Doug:
Don't you judge me.
Darnell McDonald hitting fifth? Well played, Tito, well played...

I thought the same thing about the lineup. Not exactly a Murderers Row in spots 5-9. Not what you want going up against a guy who has only given up 1 run in the entire month. And now Lackey tonight? Another streak begins?

I think Lackey's going to be great tonight. No reverse gooch, no sarcasm, no nothing. I just have a feeling. Of course, it might be the sushi from last night, but still.

I might grow wings and fly, too, Bob

Surly but mutatable?

Wow. I get a link in the same strip with a link to Amelia Pond pictures! This is my lucky day.

So, Bob, what you're saying is that you've got a feeling...that tonight's gonna be a good night?
Thanks a ton, Bob Eyed Peas.

Sending out the J.V. Red Sox against the best team in baseball. Nice job Theo and Francoma.

Karen Gillan was recently fond nekkid in a hotel corridor (for realsies). It sounds sexy at first - a Dr. Who fanboy dream - but then one reads the story and it sounds scary/sad.

Not just naked, but naked and whimpering. Whimpering is something the Real Doll manufacturers have never gotten right. A Real Doll whimper sounds more like a kazoo.

Why do I have a sudden craving for ginger snaps?

You've beaten the Yankees 8 out of 9 and you are STILL in 2nd place. The glass is half empty...

Jeez, what's that stench?

And it has nothing to do with the Yankees yet again getting a cakewalk schedule? Reaching, reaching.
You leave for a few moths and come up in this house with that bullshiz? Getdafuckouttahere!
