[...] Why do I mention this? Because Jonathan Papelbon of the Boston Red Sox throws what he thinks is a combination of a slider and a cutter. Therefore, he calls it a “slutter”. [...]

Verrrrrry interesting. I didn’t know that. So she told tales and then got the boot, huh? Joshie likes to keep things hush-hush.

Nope – she told Maxim and that’s why he dumped her….or at least, that’s what I heard. I don’t think boyfriend likes girls who kiss and tell. He’s so Republican and virtuous and all that, you know.

Wait now… what? Mile High Club? Now I hate her.

Lemme guess- Beckett bragged about it to a reporter.

I see your point – the chikas who know about sports (for real, I mean – not in an “I just date ballplayers” way) should stick together.

You know I’m just jealous that she joined the Mile High Club with Beckett :)

I can’t hate anyone who knows as much about sports as she does. No matter how many of her clothes she takes off for pictures. Not my choice, but can’t hate her.

Oh no. You’re really ok with Leann? My husband likes to taunt me by saying her name over and over again while I’m trying to watch Josh pitch.

Kristin L. – No comment. ;) It’s definitely not a reference to LeAnn- because that girl knows her sports.

FEMTG – “Special”. HAH!

Kevin – I like how his teammates just basically roll their eyes when he comes out with stuff like this. Tek comparing him to Rickey Henderson is priceless.

As the press secretary of the late great Richard J. Daley once said of the Boss’s malapropisms: “Don’t print what he says, print what he means.”

“THE SLUTTER, which may or may not be named in honor of current or ex-girlfriends of certain other members of the pitching staff”

Was that a reference to that intellectually challenged waste-of-space that Beckett went out with after the Marlins World Series?

P.S. Paplebon is my no. 1 source of entertainment in the sports world right now. And I’m sure I’m not alone. He’s priceless.
