What Am I Thinking?

A. Tek's beard is to blame for distracting me with its scruffiness.

B. Is this the Twilight Zone? Because J.D. Drew just stole a base.

C. What in the fuck is a "Boof Bonser"?

D. What in the fuck is a "Minnesota"?

E. That asshole Papelbon dared me to leave 10 fast balls hanging high over the plate, and by god I'm going to win that bet even if random nobodies belt homeruns off of me, because no way am I losing anything to a dumb Mississippi redneck.

F. What would Waylon do?**

G. [long string of cuss words]

H. All of the above.

** Yes, that was a "What Would Waylon Do?" shirt Josh was sporting in his post-game press conference-- which was completely cuss-free because it was not in the least bit live.

We need a station that is capable of showing his press conferences live. It's no fun when they edit it out.

Psst...I absolutely love reading your site here. I have never laughed so hard before when reading sports news =D You're brilliant and I especially love your Beckett posts =D You're awesome!

Did you happen to catch Josh's postgame interview? I missed it. Cheers and keep up the great work =D

Thanks for the laugh, TG. Needed that.

Definitely "All of the Above." Not his best night by any means, but he's been so great all year that I'll forgive him. Better he suck now than in his next start.

Meanwhile, the Phillies fan in you must be going bonkers. :)

Heh..."What in the fuck is a 'Boof Bonser'?"

But I'm putting my money on "H"

I'll go with A, B and C, all of which threw me for a loop (Tek's beard being distracting in a good way).
Seriously though, I agree that it's a good thing this wasn't a playoff game. Take heart where you can.

That photo pretty much sums up all of what I felt last night. And I did wonder if Tek was ALREADY starting to grow his playoff beard. That threw me for a loop too.

Joshie's post-game was only briefly shown on TV - like not even two minutes. NESN.com has a longer 4.5 minute version of it, but remarkably, Joshie is very, very calm. I was hoping for a little fire, maybe a few cuss words. But as you all have said, I'd rather he have a meltdown now than next Wednesday.

C'mon...was he really wearing that shirt? Good lord. I think this is why I have to quit him cold turkey. It's gonna be rough, though.

Yeah, I tried to tone the estrogen levels down when I was writing it up, but I love me some scruffy Jason Varitek. Also, where is a screencap of this shirt of Beckett's?

Oh, man.

"What in the fuck is a "Minnesota"?"

I laughed for about ten minutes after reading that.

He really was wearing a Waylon shirt- which makes me heart him, of course, as anyone who loves Waylon Jennings gets +100 from me.

Post on the outfit forthcoming.
