Really tough act to follow this time. I don't know how I'll pull this off.
I've been having this argument with a couple of fellow Red Sox fans. Its an odd feeling that I haven't really experienced before.
Currently, I am rooting for the Yankees.
Not overtly. I'm not hanging out in a bar cheering loudly and pissing off all of the Boston fans. I am not rooting actively in any way, however, I want them to beat the Yankees. Is this sacreligous? Maybe. And fellow BoSox fans have called me insane, crazy and ridiculous but I do not care. For my money(not that I pay for my seats) there is no better game in the MLB than a playoff game between the Red Sox and Yankees. The atmosphere, just everything about the games just seems special and I want this to happen. I want another chapter to the storied history, it is just that good. Who doesn't want to see Arod in Fenway in October to see what he can manage? Who doesn't want to see Beckett stare down the Yankees again in October? Or Clemens one more time at Fenway? How about Wang vs Dice-K, if asian people are your thing?
There are so many story lines, so much history, every year that we don't get a 7 game series seems like a missed oppurtunity.
Wrapping things up. 8 things
1. If you had told me I would be starring at Rockies vs D-Backs in the NLCS in April, I would have been surprised but I would have yawned first. I'm gonna need the Cubs to pull it out in order to take the NL seriously
2. The SAINTS are coming! The SAINTS are coming!
3. Upset Special : Chicago over Green Bay
4. I wouldn't be so sure to take the Pats on a spread pick this week. I think they might be looking to future weeks and the browns offense isnt as bad as we all thought.
5. SELVIN YOUNG has officially replaced Vincent Jackson as the guy I look for wearing pads.
6. Watching the NL and the AL is there any doubt that the World Series looks like it'll be a sweep?
7. Hey Bears way to stick with Grossman while Leftwich was on the market. Great decision, really it was.
8. Joe Torre made a mistake bringing in the young guns in a winnable game. But i guess bullpen management has never been his thing.

What the hell did you just say about me?
Hi Certane :)
Certane, where has Torre mismanaged the bullpen in the playoffs???
Or you just regurgitating Neal's points? Show me where he has made a mistake with the bullpen in the playoffs?
Yeah Chicago over Green Bay is a huge upset... the defending NFC Champions against the upstart Pack.. what a huge upset call... you gonna next tell us the Chargers are gonna beat the Broncos?!?!
We would have said the same thing last year about the AL sweeping the NL and look what happened
I was more referencing his mistakes that people were talking about earlier this year. But I still believe bringing oledouche was a mistake last night.
When choosing the upset I went with a team that was not favored
You are a douche. Way to cite last year
Hey welcome back to the blog big guy! Its good to see your comment quadrupled your actual post yesterday
Hey...Neal never said I mismanaged a bullpen in the playoffs.
He predicted that I would make a rash and stupid decision like put Giambi at first if the Yanks were behind in the series. He also said that in past playoff games we have not really lost games in the 7th or 8th because of my bullpen decisions. We have lost them because of the starting pitching sucking.
Don't worry though, I do love to ruin careers of relief pitchers. Hi Tanyon Sturtze, Paul Quantrill and Scott Proctor!! :)
Lastly, let me bring you back to Game 4 of the World Series in 2003. I brought in Jeff Weaver to pitch in extra innings! Not only that, but he gave up a walk off homer to...wait for it....wait for it....Alex Gonzalez!! That has got to go right up there with batting AROD 8th as far as dumb things I have done in the playoffs since 2001.
Hey Cashman, I dare you to fire me! I am even going to get swept in this series to see who will blink first!
Now enough of this sports talk. I'm going to meet the Senator at his place for drinks and a whole bunch of man loving, and I don't want to be bothered!
Hi Certane:) You never called me back, big boy!
I banged Katz too!
Two hungry cannibals are walking through the forest when they see a man who had recently passed away.
One cannibal says, "Look at this! You start at the feet and I'll start at the head and we'll meet in the middle."
So the two cannibals start eating.
After a half an hour one stops eating, looks up, and says, "I don't know about you, but this is great! How are you doing?"
The other cannibal answers, "This is great! I'm havin' a ball!"
The other cannibal says, "Hey, no fair! You're eating too fast!"
The golf course was haunted by a malicious, evil leprechaun who exploited the ambitions of the poorer players. He popped up beside one unfortunate man who was participating in a club competition.
"Look," he said, "if you agree never to court a woman, flirt with a girl or marry, I'll help you win."
"Done," shouted the young golfer. The leprechaun was very pleased with conniving ways, and chuckled merrily.
When the golfer was in the clubhouse being praised by the other members, the leprechaun popped up on the shelf of the locker. "Hey," said the little elf, "I have to have your name for my records. What is it?"
"Father Murphy," grinned the golfer as he adjusted his Roman collar.
He didn't say anything about little boys tho....
Hi Senator Craig :)
Hi Curtin :)
Hi Father Murphy, I am looking forward to church this Sunday...followed by a little conservative values lesson with your choir...IN THE BATHROOM!!!!!!!
Hiiiii Certane :)
Joe was moderately successful in his career, but as he got older he was increasingly hampered by incredible headaches. When his personal hygiene and love life started to suffer, he sought medical help. After being referred from one specialist to another, he finally came across a doctor who solved the problem.
"The good news is I can cure your headaches... The bad news is that it will require castration. You have a very rare condition which causes your testicles to press up against the base of your spine. The pressure creates one hell of a headache. The only way to relieve the pressure is to remove the testicles."
Joe was shocked and depressed. He wondered if he had anything to live for. He couldn't concentrate long enough to answer, but decided he had no choice but to go under the knife.
When he left the hospital, his mind was clear, but he felt like he was missing an important part of himself. As he walked down the street, he realized that he felt like a different person. He could make a new beginning and live a new life.
He walked past a men's clothing store and thought, "That's what I need: a new suit." He entered the shop and told the salesman, "I'd like a new suit."
The salesman eyed him briefly and said, "Let's see... size 44 long." Joe laughed, "That's right, how did you know?"
"It's my job."
Joe tried on the suit. It fit perfectly. As Joe admired himself in the mirror, the salesman asked, "How about a new shirt?" Joe thought for a moment and then said, "Sure..."
The salesman eyed Joe and said, "Let's see... 34 sleeve and... 16 and a half neck" Joe was surprised, "That's right, how did you know?"
"It's my job."
Joe tried on the shirt, and it fit perfectly. As Joe adjusted the collar in the mirror, the salesman asked, "How about new shoes?" Joe was on a roll and said, "Sure..."
The salesman eyed Joe's feet and said, "Let's see... 9-1/2... E." Joe was astonished, "That's right, how did you know?"
"It's my job."
Joe tried on the shoes and they fit perfectly. Joe walked comfortably around the shop and the salesman asked, "How about a new hat?" Without hesitating, Joe said, "Sure..."
The salesman eyed Joe's head and said, "Let's see... 7-5/8." Joe was incredulous, "That's right, how did you know?"
"It's my job."
The hat fit perfectly. Joe was feeling great, when the salesman asked, "How about some new underwear?" Joe thought for a second and said, "Sure..." The salesman stepped back, eyed Joe's waist and said, "Let's see... size 36."
Joe laughed, "No, I've worn size 34 since I was 18 years old."
The salesman shook his head, "You can't wear a size 34. It would press your testicles up against the base of your spine and give you one hell of a headache."
aycarumba!!!!!
That was the worst joke ever.
Also, I've banged Katz
Good story, if anyone is curious about where Joe's testicles went, the answer is simple. Father Murphy and I use them for foreplay.
Hi Tyson :)
Yum!

An atheist was taking a walk through the woods, admiring all that evolution had created.
"What majestic trees! What powerful rivers! What beautiful animals!", he said to himself. As he was walking along the river, he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him. When he turned to see what the casue was, he saw a 7-foot grizzly charging right towards him. He ran as fast as he could. He looked over his shoulder and saw that the bear was closing, He ran even faster, crying in fear. He looked over his shoulder again, and the bear was even closer. His heart was pounding and he tried to run even faster. He tripped and fell on the ground. He rolled over to pick himself up, but saw the bear right on top of him, reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to strike him.
At that moment, the Atheist cried out "Oh my God!...." Time stopped. The bear froze. The forest was silent. Even the river stopped moving.
As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice came out of the sky, "You deny my existence for all of these years; teach others I don''t exist; and even credit creation to a cosmic accident. Do you expect me to help you out of this predicament? Am I to count you as a believer?"
The atheist looked directly into the light "It would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask You to treat me as Christian now, but perhaps could you make the bear a Christian?" "Very well," said the voice.
The light went out. The river ran again. And the sounds of the forest resumed.
And then the bear dropped his right paw ..... brought both paws together...bowed his head and spoke: "Lord, for this food which I am about to receive, I am truly thankful."
I am the bear!! And don't think I didn't have my way with him before I ate him!
grrrrrrr

One day, at a bus stop there was a girl who was wearing a skintight miniskirt. When the bus arrived and it was her turn to get on, she realized that her skirt was so tight she couldn't get her foot high enough to reach to step.
Thinking it would give her enough slack to raise her leg, she reached back and unzipped her skirt a little. She still could not reach the step. Embarrassed, she reached back once again to unzip it a little more. Still, she couldn't reach the step.
So, with her skirt zipper halfway down, she reached back and unzipped her skirt all the way. Thinking that she could get on the step now, she lifted up her leg only to realize that she still couldn't reach the step.
So, seeing how embarrassed the girl was, the man standing behind her put his hands around her waist and lifted her up on to the first step of the bus. The girl turned around furiously and said, "How dare you touch my body that way, I don't even know you!"
Shocked, the man says, "Well, ma'am, after you reached around and unzipped my fly three times, I kinda figured that we were friends."

Steve, Bob, and Jeff were working on a very high scaffolding. Suddenly, Steve falls 50 feet to the ground below and he is killed instantly.
After the coroner leaves with Steve''s body, Bob volunteers to inform Steve''s wife of the terrible news. Some two hours later, Bob returns to the work site with a six-pack of beer under his arms.
"Say, Bob, where did you get the six-pack?"
"Steve''s wife gave it to me!"
"What! You just told her that Steve died and she gave you a six-pack?"
"Well, before I broke the news to her, I asked her if she was Steve''s widow. And, she said she wasn''t, so I said I''d bet her a six-pack she was!"
