How About Those Red Sox

Hey sports fans, how about those Red Sox, huh?

Do you think they will win another game this year?  How does 0-7 on a 9 game road trip sound?  Yeah, we lost three to the Angels, but the Angels are still in it.  Yeah, we lost three to the A's, but the A's are in position to make the post season.  Yeah, we lost the 1st of three to the Mariners... ummm... yeah. 

Hey, we are only one game up on last place Toronto in the East.  We could do it, we could finish last in the East!  What a thrill that would be.

Now I know I haven't been very kind to this team this season, and I know that I was dancing in the streets when they made "The Trade" with the Dodgers, but that doesn't mean I want to see them crumble like they did during the Kerrigan Reign.  I want them to at least look like they are trying out there.  The good news is, Schmucko the Clown will surely get the axe.  The bad news is, after they hired Schmucko the Clown who is to say that they won't hire someone more ridiculous?  (shiver in fear)

Still, even though the Red Sox have sucked like a hoover this season, they have been interesting.  Not on the field, mind you, but with all the soap opera drama.  I'm waiting for them to tell us that Dice-K needs a brain transplant or that Bobby Jenks has amnesia.  (more likely that would be the other way around, right?)  Let's hope for an interesting on the field team as opposed to the current interesting off the field team next season.

Then there are the Bruins who are going to be locked out in 11 days.  Labor negotiations were broken off.  Over the Labor Day holiday no less.  The hell with the Bruins and the hell with the whole NHL.  I hope they rot.
