I don't want to go (expletive) play for the Yankees

Papelbon denies report of potential depature to New York 

"I don't want to go (expletive) play for the Yankees," he said. "I've been on a team for the past five years that's been in first place more than any other (expletive) team otherwise. Why would I want to leave?"

Thank you Jonathan Papelbon. Thank You. 

can't wait...

Things I look forward to :

• My flight is at 5:50 AM 
• We arrive at 7:30, then load-in
• The temp in Atlanta will be 97
• I will have 16 wireless microphones to deal with : next door to CNN. Interference much ?

and I just realized that the Sox will be playing the Braves - in Boston....

How tall do you weigh ? - the Sox, and the Evil Empire

the evil empire is where they belong

that's all I'm sayin'...

Fun with Translations : The Yankees in German, or Die Yankees in Deutsch

• First I typed : Tonight, I will try to find a TV that will show Boston defeating the Yankees... Just because I like the way that looks in german, especially if you say "the Yankees"...

• Google Translated it as : Heute Abend werde ich versuchen, einen Fernseher, die zeigen, Boston Sieg der Yankees ... ich ebenso wie die Art und Weise, sieht in den Sprachen Deutsch, vor allem, wenn Sie sagen, dass "die Yankees"...

• I then copied the German and translated it back to English and got this : Tonight I will try and a TV that show the Boston Yankees victory ... I like the way that looks into the languages German, especially if you say that "the Yankees" ...

Red Sox 4- Yanks 1

• The Sox have won 10 in a row.

• They swept the Evil Empire 3-0.

• "Jacoby Ellsbury's scintillating steal of home"

It was like watching the playoffs

Saturdays' Red Sox game was an amazing thing to watch (on Fox Sports, so I was able to watch). The Sox were down 6 - 0 to A.J. Burnett and the Yanks, and I thought, "great, I finally get to watch a game, and they are going to get shut out..." The Fox announcers had to keep giving all the stats about how great A.J. Burnett pitches against the Sox.

Then things started... Jason Varitek' grand slam, Mike Lowell's 6 RBI's, and the score went back and forth, back and forth. I could not leave the TV. It was long (over 4 hours). It was at times frustrating (a ground ball thru Dustin Pedoria's legs). But, in the end it was one of the greatest games I have ever seen, and it is only April...

Final score : Boston Red Sox 16 - New York Yankees 11

vs the evil empire

It's not on TV (in columbus, oh)... 

Yanks-Sox tied 4 to 4 in the 9th, are you kidding me ?!??? and I can't watch it...???!!! 

Update. From Boston.com : "BOSTON—Jason Bay homered off Mariano Rivera with two outs in the ninth to send the game to extra innings, and Kevin Youkilis hit a solo shot in the 11th on Friday night as the Boston Red Sox beat the New York Yankees 5-4 for their eighth straight victory."

Tim Wakefield and the Red Sox beat the Twins 10 to 1

Yankees lose again

OK, so, the Sox lost, but the Evil Empire is 0 and 2 on the season, and that's good.... I believe that would put the Yanks in last place...

somebody traveling to Boston asked me : "How far is it from Boston to NYC ?"

Me : "Who cares ?"

Red Sox Win

Opening Day : Red Sox 5 - Rays 3 , Josh Beckett gave up just two hits and had 10 strikeouts... and the Evil Empire lost 10-5.

Grand Slam

watching the Sox on the computer

wow...
