Thank God it's Thur. Wed was not horrible but not the greatest day ever either..

Well that did not work out nearly as I had hoped last night, with the Red Sox dropping another game to the MFY, 4-3. It was not an enjoyable game to watch in any way shape or form, except for the exception of A-Rod getting thrown out 7-4-3 at first by Hinske / Pedroia and Youk's 2 run homer which was nice but just served to get us all worked up over nothing. Just when it looked like The Sox were mounting a comeback, in came the Fruit Bat and that was that. The game ended with Ortiz standing in the on-deck circle. Dammit.

Oh well.

I have faith in Shilling getting the job done this afternoon. To be totally honest I had a feeling even before this MFY series started that The Sox would come out of NY 7 games up. Hopefully my gut is correct.

The Pats cut rookie punter Danny Baugher and signed veteran punter Chris Hanson, who has spent the majority of his career with the Jags and has consistently kicked for a 40+ yard average throughout his career.. I have to say that move had me scratching my head as I thought that Baugher had done a good job during pre-season. Maybe The Pats wanted to have an experienced punter on the squad to start the season, or maybe they are planning to have Hanson act as a mentor of sorts to Baugher, who could be back on The Pats as a practice squad guy. I thought this was kind of a strange move, but then who am I to question what The Patriots do? They know what they're doing. I'm just some dumb-ass who reads what's going on with the team on the interewarg.

The Pats play the fourth and final pre-season game tonight against the Giants. Tonight's key to the game: NO INJURIES. Football Gods, you know how awesome you are but I'll tell you anyway, you are awesome and chicks totally dig you while men want to be you. Thank you Football Gods.

GO PATS
