Cobra In A Basket
I’m not normally one to give Tim McCarver props for anything whatsoever, but McCarver referring to Manny Ramirez as a “cobra in a basket” last night may have been one of the funniest things he’s ever said. I don’t think he meant it to be humorous, but he shouldn’t complain since I’m paying him an actual compliment.
Tacoby Bellsbury also managed to get himself millions of fans across the country in fell swoop with his taco-licious stolen base. At last count, there were 14 brand new facebook groups dedicated to Jacoby’s quest to feed America, including:
Jacoby, Thanks for the Taco.
Jacoby Ellsbury: A National Hero
I’m so happy Jacoby Elsbury stole us all free taco bell
Jacoby Ellsbury is the Man for Winning America a Free Taco!!!
America thanks you Jacoby Ellsbury for your gracious gift of tacos.
Jacoby Ellsbury Won me a friggin Taco
Free Taco’s Courtesy of Jacoby
Jacoby Ellsbury: Ending World Hunger 1 Stolen Base at a Time
I know Royce Clayton must be really worried how this is all going to work out, but the rest of America is happy because we all know: the best taco is a free taco.
At least one very positive sign from the front office about resigning Mike Lowell (who gets a free pass from me on the E5 last night purely because he’s just so damned awesome, and because I’m a member of NDRaPRSFftEMRSoML):
“(Re-signing Lowell is) a priority for the offseason, and I’m sure we’ll be able to get something done,” Epstein said of his pending free agent. “We have a desire to keep him here a long time. He’s a core member of the organization. It’s just not the time to talk about that.”
And taking a quick survey of this gathering of World Series picks by random athletes and celebrities, I’d say Red Sox come out ahead. I mean, could Faith Hill, Greg Oden, Meredith Vieira and Jimmy Johnson all be wrong? Nice how two of the votes Colorado gets aren’t so much votes FOR the Rockies to win, as they are votes AGAINST the Red Sox winning. Also: I love that Tom Glavine identifies himself as a Red Sox fan, while wearing a Mets uniform.
