Same Old Song

So we went without the Sox for four days. Four very long, sports deprived days. Following the sweep of the Twins and two of three from the Orioles you figured the Sox were ready to turn it on and get to work.

Well, we were all wrong. Instead of keeping the winning going they opted to take a dump in a hat. Yup, getting swept by the best team in baseball (record wise) and continue to look like a lost kid at K-Mart on the road. 21-32 on the road is pathetic and before we know it, the Sox will be in third looking up the ass of the Yankees.

Following the sweep by the Angels ESPN brought us the wonderful ESPY’s. Well, why not just rename the award show to The Absolute Bias Against New England and Boston. Seriously let’s recap how the ESPY’s are a fucking joke and how Boston was screwed.

Male Athlete of the Year – Tiger Woods

Seriously, the bias against the Patriots in this country is that fucking ridiculous that a year when Tom Brady rules football breaking Peyton Mannings records he’s not the athlete of the year? Are you kidding me? Golf? Just because he didn’t win the Super Bowl? That’s bullshit.

Record-breaking Performance – Brett Favre, Green Bay Packers

Um, same fucking thing. Brett Favahrrer is the media’s Golden Boy. This guy shits cotton candy and pisses rainbows. Hanging on past your prime to break a record? Ridiculous! Tommy should have taken this one too.

Championship Performance – Tiger Woods, U.S. Open

I guess no one saw Paul Pierce own the NBA Finals. Whatever. More bullshit from ESPN and the anti-Boston sediment.

Baseball Player – Alex Rodriguez, New York Yankees

Really? What the fuck has this lipstick wearing, gorilla stripper dating jerk ever won? That’s right nothing. How about anyone off of last years World Champion Red Sox team? Beckett ruled in the post season. Where was A-Rod? That’s right home on the couch.

NBA Player – Kobe Bryant, Los Angeles Lakers

Um, rapist. Made it to the Finals and then sulked, oh and lost. How about KG? Um he only helped with the greatest turn around in NBA history and topped it off with a Championship.

NFL Player – Tom Brady New England Patriots

Holy Shit they got one right!

Team – Boston Celtics

I may pass out. They gave Boston two awards?

For reference sake, I didn’t bother to watch the ESPY’s. Waste of my time and it probably would have pissed me off even more than I already was about the whole debacle.

Now the Sox head north to Seattle for three games against the last place Mariners. They should sweep this team but will likely drop two of three (after all these are road games). Francona needs to punch someone in the mouth and get this club banging on all cylinders before the team is out of it by mid-August.
