You Have To Endure This Because I Had To...

This morning as I sipped my cup of hot coffee in my bathrobe and slippers, I was forced to re-live October of 2008. The confetti, the smug smiles on the faces of our most hated rivals, it all came rushing back to me.

Today is Opening Day at Yankee Stadium. The Skankees will have their home opener against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim and since I had to endure the details of the home opener on the news this morning, I will bore you with the details too.

Four time world champion Bernie Williams will throw out the first pitch (who I learned today was a wonderful guy and a great musician because the news anchor ran into him in a music store and he was nice to her son...NOBODY CARES!!!) Whitey Ford and Yogi Bera will be on hand to help manager Joe Girardi hand out the rings to his team.

Girardi said this is way sweeter then winning it as a player because you get to hand the rings to your teamates. Wow, a Yankee that is full of it...SHOCKING!!

There are a few Yankees on the team who have been through ring ceremonies before, Jorge Posada, Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera who will each have five rings, described as a "fist full" by the New York media.

One final note about today's ceremony, George Steinbrenner "the boss man" will be in attendence for the event which starts at 1:05p.

Now that I have made you suffer through the details like I did and now that I know you are saying exactly what I said, WHO CARES!?!?!?!? I will say to you what my wife said to me when I was done complaining about the coverage..."they'd be doing the same thing on the Boston news stations..."

Just because she's right, doesn't mean I have to like it!!

Strange night at the Pahk

Schilling never threw a single pitch. Manny's dew-rag no longer has a "B" on the front, it is now Dodger Blue with an "LA" embroidered in white. Although he and Joe Torre are headed to postseason play, Derek Jeter is not. The Yankees are headed to Tampa next week, not to play the Rays but to hit the links and begin their off season preparations. The Yankees are going home early. Fine! The weirdest news is still to come. Jonathon Papelbon stole three bases tonight. No, he was not pinch running. He did all of this while soaked in beer. As part of the 2008 celebration of clinching a playoff berth, Pap literally pulled up and "stole" first, second and third base and gave them to fans that remained at Fenway to help the local nine and company celebrate.

In the best news of the day, the Red Sox broke a long standing rule concerning the retirement of players numbers. Recognizing the contributions of Johnny Pesky along with the realization that his career numbers were buffered by three years of military service. The Red Sox announced that they will indeed retire Pesky's number 6 in a ceremony Friday night at Fenway. This marks the eve of his 89th birthday and makes him the first player not inducted in the Baseball Hall of Fame to be recognized by the franchise with this honor. All in all a fantastic day on Landsdowne. In a related note, Heidi Watney looks great soaking wet with champagne.

Terry Francona is a DILF? You Be The Judge

So I was sitting here watching Sox in 2 with my sister-in-law and her friend Catie who proceeded to say, outloud mind you, "Terry Francona is such a dilf." At first I thought it was some insult, like, you're such a dilf. No, it is what you might expect, a compliment, Dad I'd Like to F...YUP that's right, my sister-in-law and her friend think Tito is a piece.

If they were talking about Beckett I wouldn't be blown away because I have heard a lot of girls talk about Beckett and hot he is, but...FRANCONA!?!??!?!?!?!?!?

I am not one to judge male talent, but WTF!?!?!?!? I guess this gives hope to guys everywhere, who have two World Series rings...sorry A-Rod you're out of luck.
