I Suck At Watching The Red Sox

i must say... watching a sporting event with a bunch of women... can be quite entertaining.

following our day out with my nephew (pj), karen and i were invited to watch the red sox game at my friend's (andrea) place. too bad i suck at watching the red sox.

anyway, andrea was nice enough to invite all of us who were at coop's the day before to her place to watch game 6 of the american league championship between the red sox and the rays. as andrea was with my friends (hot amy and jen) in town to watch the lighting of a bunch of jack-o-lanterns, it made getting together that much easier. sadly, my friend (bill) could not make the shindig because he was bitten by the cold bug after coop's... proof that making out with hot amy... never a good thing.

before any of you think that i hang out with a very close knit group where everyone makes out with one another... or in general... the always sick hot amy... i am only kidding. there is no actual making out with hot amy (to my knowledge... much like andrea's knowledge of smoking pot). i simply like to use that phrase whenever germs are spread and people get sick.

regardless, it was too bad bill could not attend. in bill's place, however, was my friend (carlos).

anyway, it was a fun night filled with bagel bites and the red sox. andrea seems to now fully understand the meaning of the top and bottom of the inning... as it turns out, all of us even learned about the type of guy andrea is looking for: blue eyes, brown hair... within the age range of 30-38. so if any of you know of anyone who fits that description, please let andrea know.

andrea's other option is to solicit herself to the recently divorced jason varitek, whom she thinks has a great butt... a result from his great squatting ability i presume. hot amy, on the other hand, was a little upset that her man (jacoby ellsbury) was not playing. ellsbury had been benched in favor of coco crisp because he has gone ice cold at the plate. by ice cold... i mean ellsbury has not been hitting... at all.

so, you can imagine what it is like to watch a red sox game within my group of friends... who seem to enjoy the game more for the players in their uniforms than the actual game itself.

anyway, the sox ended up winning... so it's off to the final decisive game 7. the red sox won in part to varitek, who amazing hit a home run in the game. i gave andrea grief about varitek because... well... varitek can't hit this year. she of course, defended him... on what basis... i don't remember... possibly because he looked cute or something. maybe if i give her more grief about varitek, he'll turn into a one man wrecking machine for the final game of the alcs. we'll see... go sox!

oh yes... i am not sure if this happened or not, but jen was hoping to meet siamese twins upon leaving andrea's house. so hopefully she did...

I Suck At Trading Johan Santana

all right, so maybe i didn't really have anything to do with trading johan santana from the twins to the mets... for prospects...

but as a member of red sox nation, i had to chime in with my thoughts... which are as follows: at least it's not the yankees!

actually, it's a good thing that johan ended up with the mets, because he's now in the national league and he won't have to face the red sox that much. i don't know how omar minaya even pulled off the trade, because the twins could have gotten (and probably should have gotten) more for johan santana.

oh well. better luck next time. i'm sure my friend, "hot" amy, is ecstatic about the trade of johan to the mets, not that she is a new york fan or anything. her reasons are purely biased by his good looks as she is a diehard jacoby ellsbury fan... or as she would call him... jay-cub-bee... who was rumored to be one of the pieces (if not john lester) in bringing johan to the red sox.

and really, who could blame her? jacoby is an attractive guy... or so i've been told...
