The only thing funnier from the series than Bobby Abreu pussing out and not catching Jason Bay's triple was Mike Pussina (I'm trying to use as many pussy-esque words as possible in this post) and Joe Girardi even refering to the Yankees playoff hopes. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dustin Pedroia has come from the rookie of the year to an indispensible players. It's really come to the point that I don't want to imagine this team without the little shit.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Speaking of indispensible, if Josh Beckett is really this hurt; we're fucked. Redneck Josh Beckett, is not the only, but the most important key to the Red Sox repeating. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Last, the bullpen is as sporatic as a middle aged woman on medication. Some days its quiet and weird (Who the fuck plays with bottles for a whole year? It was kind of unique last year in October for Fox camera and what not but now just borderline retarded.) and others suicidal and manic. I think the only people that can fully be trusted is Papelbon and Masterson.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href="http://bigpapadaddy.files.wordpress.com/2008/03/jamie-kotsay-umpbump_com_8.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bigpapadaddy.files.wordpress.com/2008/03/jamie-kotsay-umpbump_com_8.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;A few last points: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;All you need to know about Jason Bay: 24 RBIs in 24 games.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Mark Kotsay's wifey is hot. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Giambi looks like a hulking recovering alcoholic pedophile. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;David Pauley will get shelled on Saturday.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Predicted Dice-K line tonight: 6IP 6BB 6K 3H 1ER&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2954325779451972136-6807702154224675689?l=thayouka.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thayouka.blogspot.com/feeds/6807702154224675689/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2954325779451972136&amp;postID=6807702154224675689' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2954325779451972136/posts/default/6807702154224675689'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2954325779451972136/posts/default/6807702154224675689'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thayouka.blogspot.com/2008/08/fat-kid-sid-shits-bed-hideki-aint-so.html' title='Fat Kid Sid Shits the Bed &amp; Hideki Ain&apos;t so Lucky'/><author><name>Matt Breen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08604147918380543085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mvUyvkL216k/SLQKU5ewtJI/AAAAAAAAAA4/RFK7_-TaXHg/S220/n530241246_6566.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2954325779451972136.post-1117930901512435946</id><published>2008-08-27T11:45:00.006-04:00</published><updated>2008-08-27T12:11:47.869-04:00</updated><title type='text'>A-Rod Lifts Red Sox Past NY</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://theoverlydramatictruth.files.wordpress.com/2008/04/a-rod-massge1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://theoverlydramatictruth.files.wordpress.com/2008/04/a-rod-massge1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Pictured: A-Rod having his breasts &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;massaged&lt;/span&gt; by Joe Torre.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3 Time MVP and all around-"might be best player once its all said", Alex Rodriguez, sucked last night and was booed hardcore by the New York faithful. While A-Rod is pretty much the man, he was terrible last night, posting the beautiful line of: 0-for-5, 2 K, 2&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;GIDP&lt;/span&gt;(one with &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;bases loaded&lt;/span&gt;), and 7 LOB. Don't forget his error either.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Although&lt;/span&gt; A-Rod sucked, I've got to give some serious credit to Justin &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Masterson&lt;/span&gt;, who is too legit to quit. The guy has come out of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;Pawtucket&lt;/span&gt; and done everything asked of him, switching to the bullpen &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;seamlessly&lt;/span&gt;. He's pretty much the anti-&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;Buchholz&lt;/span&gt; right now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But getting back to A-Rod, seriously Yankees if you don't want him, I'd love to see him in Boston. And I'm sure he's OK, he probably slept on some nice stripper tits last night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wakefield had a very Dice-K like night going 5 innings and securing the win, which is more than I expected from his elderly ass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Red &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;Sox&lt;/span&gt; are either close, or have picked up &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;Kotsay&lt;/span&gt; from the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;ATL&lt;/span&gt; today which is good news. Safer than trading for Gary &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;Shefield&lt;/span&gt; and signing Barry "Bail" Bonds they played it safe and got a guy who kills &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;Fenway&lt;/span&gt; Park to pick up for JD Drew's frail self.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other good news, Beckett will be back Friday. If Beckett is healthy the Red &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13"&gt;Sox&lt;/span&gt; should be OK as he is godly in postseason play. I don't really give a shit if he sucks from this point until the playoffs because you know he will be lights out like always in the playoffs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tonight is the battle of 2 of my least favorite, ugliest pitchers in baseball: &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14"&gt;HGH&lt;/span&gt;, born again Christian, battling porn addiction(who battles that, I enjoy my addiction?) Paul Byrd vs. Fat kid Sid "Shitfaced" &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15"&gt;Ponson&lt;/span&gt;. I pick the Porn Star, Paul Byrd over the bloated and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16"&gt;fiending&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17"&gt;Ponson&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One last thing before I go feed my porn addiction, isn't it great the Red &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18"&gt;Sox&lt;/span&gt; are erasing New York from the playoff picture. I mean I'm over the whole "Yankees Suck" thing but it's still pretty cool.

While playing relatively well over the past month, the Rays, Twins, and White Sox have been hauling ass and show absolutely no sign they will slow down. Going into NY seems like a big series, but really the Sox should own NY. This is an NY team that lost Wang, Joba, and their dignity half way through the season.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What's hurting the Sox however is the loss of Drew, Lowell, Aardsma, and Beckett. But luckily Lugo is still hurt and the Red Sox are likely to lie to him about the results of his MRI than let him back out on the field in September.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The pitching match up is as the following:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wakefield vs. Pettitte&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Depends on what Wakefield shows up fresh of the DL. I predict a loss.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Byrd vs. Ponson&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Wow battle of the scrubs. I'll take Sox because I never bet on Ponson. Ever.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lester vs. Pussina&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Even though Pussina is having hell of a year, I don't trust his old ass. I'll go with Lester on this one, he's pissed after fucking up last outing.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2954325779451972136-1624988495209455551?l=thayouka.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thayouka.blogspot.com/feeds/1624988495209455551/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2954325779451972136&amp;postID=1624988495209455551' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2954325779451972136/posts/default/1624988495209455551'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2954325779451972136/posts/default/1624988495209455551'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thayouka.blogspot.com/2008/08/time-for-red-sox-to-man-up.html' title='Time for Red Sox to Man Up'/><author><name>Matt Breen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08604147918380543085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mvUyvkL216k/SLQKU5ewtJI/AAAAAAAAAA4/RFK7_-TaXHg/S220/n530241246_6566.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
