Things That Are Lame

A dude from Connecticut who thinks that throwing some Kentucky blue grass seeds on the dirt at Fenway will somehow magically lead to Yankee grass sprouting there. Hey, genius: seeds need to be sown before they can grow– and we already use Kentucky blue grass anyway.

NESN vs. Comcast cat fight.

Kevin Youkilis trailing Mark Teixeira in the All-Star voting for AL 1B. Look, the “All-Star” selection process may be flawed and the All-Star designation may be essentially meaningless… but that doesn’t mean I want to see effin’ Mark Teixeira beat out Kevin Youkilis.

OMG! OMG! A-Rod is dating Kate Hudson! I don’t think it’s possible for me to care less.

Name-dropping the Red Sox in connection with every single possible trade bait player. As of now, that list has included: Jeff Francoeur, Orlando Cabrera, Jack Wilson, Omar Vizquel, Ryan Spilborghs, Victor Martinez, Adam Dunn, Yunel Escobar, Jason Donald, Lou Marson, and I’m sure 10 others I’m forgetting.

Rain that might delay getting to see Josh Beckett and AJ Burnett duke it out at Fenway tonight.

Watching the baseball draft. As much as I love baseball, and as much as I love college baseball (Hook ‘Em Horns! Texas is in the College World Series!), the MLB draft will never be the spectacle that the NFL draft is — or even the NBA draft — no matter how hard Bud Selig tries to convince us otherwise.

    haahaahaaa…that’s funny.

    and true.

    And yes, I voted 25 times for Youk. I might have to use my other addys to vote more.

    I am voting for Youk right now. Do not want Teixeira at 1B.

    I am totally watching the MLB draft — it’s not a spectacle, but I want to watch anyway. College ball is the best.

    Oh, I forgot one important lame thing on my list of Things That Are Lame: people who make lists of things that are lame. HAH HAH… what?

    You forgot to mention the redsox are also in the market for ichiro, greinke, carl crawford and also donald duck.

    Theo is apparently an idiot and would not mind throwning millions of dollars at fictional characters.

    about the youk thing do what they do in chicago vote early and often,

    on a side note, i get some of my baseball information from baseball today podcast by espn and they were talking about the negotiations with boras, the examples they used to show how to deal with him correctly (dice-k and tek) were great but the example of how not to negotiate with boras (the last a-rod contract debacle) made it even better.

    I think I love you. UT grad and Sox fanatic. Very good.

    Beckett was great and Tito did well to pull him because, you know, we have a pen.

    Good times.

    You also wanna know what is lame? The fact that every time I hear the word LAME…it reminds me of the Bret Michael’s Rock of Love trash who called everyone and their brother LAME 24/7. And, it kind of amuses me.

    Lame SQUARED.

    What was not lame? Mr. Joshua Patrick Beckett last night. Also not lame? Papi going yard. Lack of lame? Bard smoking away the Yankees hitters and hitting 100 MPH not only once, but twice. Just saying…
