Just in time to wipe the smarm off the top of the page, it’s Sox And Celtics! This is part 549732450 of a continuing series wherein our heroes (the Red Sox) visit their athletic neighbors (the Celtics), often while wearing green and/or drinking beer.
In last night’s episode, Mike Lowell and Kevin Youkilis visited the World Champion Celtics home opener to watch the World Champion Celtics get their World Champion rings. Also, Youk did the old hold-the-ball-for-the-mascot-to-dunk thing.
Mikey LoLo was apparently too shy to be caught on camera, but he did talk to the Herald:
Lowell, who was sporting his honkin’ World Series bling, said he thought the Green Team’s new championship ring was “really elegant.”“I think they did a really nice job,” the third baseman told the Track. “But, really, is there ever a real ugly championship ring?”
The answer is no.
Youk and a Youk-look alike (i.e. bald guy with goatee) had a really funny mini-fight thing over the jumbotron, with the camera cutting back and forth between the two and animated mock-shit talking from both parties. It was good to see that Mikey was doing well after his surgery last week.
John Henry and Luchhino were there as well, although I don’t think anyone really cares.
I noticed Youkilis in the stands when I turned on the Celtics game. Then they showed him and lucky later on. Youk was signing autographs for people around him. I missed the ceremony, but watched it online. Sporting events have turned into a whose who.
This is cute.

ohhhhhhhhhhhh…emeralds.
pretty.
I’ll have to wait for a Pedroia sighting at a Kings game (happened around Christmas last year).
Anyone else see that Paul Pierce cried like a baby the whole ceremony?
… in the interest of full disclosure– so did I.
Red was with us last night.
Yay Youk! He so deserves this.
Karen – That is a pretty incredible hat he’s got there.
Aww…isn’t Youk just adorable!!!
Is it me or is the brunette cheerleader behind Youk checking out his sweet ass?
I mean, I know I would be, too, if I was right there …
My sistah!
I dunno, the 2003 Marlins Championship ring is beyond tacky if you ask me. But Lowell would never say such a thing. :P
That Celtics one is perfect…also I’m going to say that I think the 2007 WS rings are better than the 2004 ones designwise. I love the use of the socks as opposed to the B in the 04 ones. That’s just a personal bias though.
I was about to mention the monstrosity that was the 03 Marlins ring but Piney beat me to it.
The Celt’s ring on the other hand is gorg.
The Celtics will do anything to steal the Red Sox thunder which is why they invite them to everything. Losers
