The return of the hate

Just wanted to rev up the ol bloggy blog to share my feelings with Rafael Soriano. Take it away, Homer.

BTW - I have precisely the same sentiment for you, Burnett.

(Ed. note: now with more movement and hate! - JD)

The torch has been passed

Piling on

The Knicks Revered Sideshow Of Newsworthy Evil (KRS-ONE) continues with a probably untrue but hoo boy do I hope it happened cause it is fantastic story, starring none other than Eddy Curry, his cock, and a loaded handgun.

Peep this brilliance:
• When Kuchinsky balked at some of these tasks, he claims he was verbally assaulted by Curry, including being called, "fucking Jew," "cracker," "white slave," "white devil" and "grandmaster of the KKK."

And if you think this post is entirely superfluous, a transparent machination simply meant to bump Jeff's emotional and well written homage to Jim Rice (aka Steve Balboni with a softer career arc), then, well, congratulations.

Tampa to Philly: I drink your milkshake!

I obviously can't speak intelligibly about the Phillies replacing my hero with a suckier, older, more expensive, and less fun version, so instead I'll wrap up my offseason haterade on the matter by simply linking here, which pretty well sums up why they are dumb as a fucking post.

Of course, I'm not supposed to hate on them, having just won the WS and all, but fuck that. This entire matter has been abominably stupid.

Bravo, Rays. Boo Phillies. Boooooo!!!!

PS- Between Price and Burrell, the Rays now employ BOTH of my sports crushes. This is a problem. Help me Austin Jackson, you're our only hope.

Update: I forgot the obligatory link to the brilliance.

A slice of fried gold

The bar @ 11th and Ellsworth went absolutely nuts during this replay.

Massholes On Parade: Construction Worker Edition

Jesus Christ, please just make it stop.

First of all, why did this Mass-tard think IMMEDIATELY was the best time to announce his sad attempt at a curse? If he'd just kept his mouth shut for a few months, it'd be too late anyone to dig it up. Presumably this is why he's working construction and not pulling jewel heists or working on his Ph.D. in nuclear physics.

Second, why would any Red Sox fan in his right mind want to SPREAD the notion of a curse? We just spent twenty fucking years trying to get everyone to shut up about it, and now this clown is resurrecting it. Was that not the whole point of winning??? It's such a childish, unnecessary idea, entirely opposite to the notion of what the rivalry should be: two phenomenal organizations duking it out on an effectively even playing field.

Third, this level of obsession is no longer cute. It's just stupid. It's precisely the sort of idiotic homer crap that does more to embarrass than to celebrate. We longed, collectively, for 86 years to be just another group of fans. A perfectly rational and noble goal. Now we're trying to be known as More Obsessed Than You. It's as if we all watched Jimmy Fallon's stink-eye performance in Fever Pitch and collectively thought, "yeah, I want to be just like that guy!" NO!!! FAIL!!!!!

It's one thing to exchange a few playful jabs with a Yankee fan; it's a whole other ball of potatoes to go and sabotage their stadium. It's within our power to take the high road. Not the smug, self-absorbed, holier-than-thou high road, which we've apparently chosen, but the magnanimous high road. We can relieve ourselves of the petty instincts we grew up adhering to. We can be free of this nonsense and just watch some great baseball.

Or we can try to bury Manny's jockstraps in the new Monument Park and look like even bigger douches than we do already. Either/or.

Red Sox = Chubby Chasers

Somehow this story completely escaped me.


From ESPN: COLON'S COMEBACK CONTINUES (4:58 p.m. ET)Bartolo Colon's comeback picked up speed Sunday when he showed excellent control in his first batting practice session of spring training and was scheduled to pitch in a game Thursday.
Colon has been impressive since Boston signed the 2005 AL Cy Young Award winner to a minor league contract Feb. 25. He threw three bullpen sessions in the previous six days without facing hitters.
"He's ready for some game activity," pitching coach John Farrell said after Sunday's 43-pitch session.
Colon won't throw more than 30 pitches or two innings against Tampa Bay in his spring debut, Farrell said.
After Sunday's batting practice session against four minor leaguers, Colon said through a translator that he "feels better than ever" after two injury-plagued seasons. -- The Associated Press
