Counter Strike

The first Sox-Yanks game of 2007 was a great one. The "Slappy McPurplelips Show" accounted for 5 of the 6 runs scored by New York. Curt Schilling wasn't in top form, scuffling a bit, serving up a pair of homers to McPurplelips. The Sox offense bounced back against the mediocre Yankee bullpen in the 8th inning. Hideki Okajima earned the save in the 9th.

R.I.P. Mariano Rivera. An 88-MPH cutter with no movement isn't going to "cut it" in the major leagues.


I've been listening to Death Cab for Cutie's "Plans" the last few days. It's a great melancholy CD. It's soothing and sweet and feels honest at the core.
