Oil Can Boyd

I think we have a winner! 61 on the celsius scale is about 142 F.

You and me both ...

I may not be a student of the game enough to understand why that discrepancy is so great but the gap in total fouls is much smaller (LA 28, Boston 21).

Man, that game got a little too close for comfort ...

Me too. Going to see Kozelek (solo) on Wednesday.

He's also suspended. "Three Red Sox players have been suspended by Major League Baseball for their roles in last night's brawl against the Tampa Bay Rays. Coco Crisp has been suspended for 7 games, Jon Lester for 5 games, and Sean Casey for 3 games." "MLB came down hard on the Rays for Thursday's brawl, suspending James Shields for six games, Jonny Gomes and Edwin Jackson for fives games each, Carl Crawford for four games and Akinori Iwamura for three games."

Well I think he was going to charge if it was even inside. He seemed ready ...

It started the night before. Coco slid into second headfirst and Jason Bartlett "dropped his knee" which, in some circles, is one of those unwritten codes that middle infielders should not do. A few innings later Coco had a pretty hard slide into Iwamura and the Rays' manager started jawing with Coco. I was not at all surprised that there was a fight last night.

I'm bumming - Ortiz out for a little while and maybe a long while ...

Might still be my favorite REM song ...

And Manny gets 500 ...

Half right ... That was a pretty impressive 4th quarter by the Celtics.

Go Sox!

Did you see that he "misplaced" his World Series ring?

I've seen them a few times since they got back together (including opening for Wilco after Sonic Youth canceled) and they have been great shows. They are playing a couple of shows in Boston in June that unfortunately I can't see: the first night they are playing Signals, Calls, and Marches and the next night they are playing Vs.

I think the real question is whether the Wallflowers or the Blisters are better?

And the Bartolo Colon era begins in Boston. He looked good last night ...

Wait, what? Did I miss something?

Bought mine almost four years ago and still loving it.

That's funny - I watched it last night.

And even Papelbon was a little shaky. But Dice-K goes to 8-0 (despite 6 walks).

But how 'bout their freakin' bullpen: it went from 11-3 to 11-8 pretty damn fast ...

That's some good reading. Albini's Liz Phair is Rickie Lee Jones, Smashing Pumpkins are REO Speedwagon, and Urge Overkill are Oingo Boingo comparisons are pretty funny.

That's a great album. I have it on vinyl but when the Tower Records near me was closing its doors I bought it on CD for about $2.
