Updated Power Rankings ...

Courtesty of Fox Sports ... click here to see the Beloved BoSox listed as #1 ...

Also, from my day-to-day calendar ...

On this day in Baseball, 1984

Although he has stolen only one base all season, Dusty Baker is unstoppable on the base paths as he steals second, third, and home in the Giants 12-9 victory over the Reds at Candlestick Park.

I wish I could have seen that ... sounds amazing!

Well Wishes ...

Unfortunately the BoSox lost last night to the Mariners ... but we can turn it around and take 2 of 3 ... I have faith.

Uh ... I am boring today ... I have nothing to say ...

I have a headache so I think that is part of the problem. I am going to go tanning tonight and relax in the coolness of my house ... gotta love central air when it's 100 degrees outside!

Smokin Hot !!!

My Josh Beckett is wonderful ... Win number 11 on Sunday !!!

Pap's closed it out ... he's superb ...

Tek homered in the 8th ....

Now we are off against the mariners !

I had to watch the MFY game on Fox on Saturday ... GOOD JOB GIANTS !!! Gawd, I was sooo happy to see them lose ... if I have to watch the MFY, I want to watch them lose ... It was a good day !

Peace ....

and quiet is not a part of my life right now.

Last night I did a good deed, stopped at the Goodwill and dropped off about 12 bags of clothes and some boxes of children's toys and romance novels. I am working on de-cluttering my life so that was a start in the right direction.

Last night was an off night for the BoSox ... however, the Colorado Suckies totally dominated the MFY's ... clean sweep ... amazing ... I love it ... 10.5 games ... woohoo !

My Boston-Boys of Summah are off to the West coast for a 6 game stint in San Diego & Seattle ... GOOD LUCK MY SWEETS !!!

Well, I am hoping for a quiet weekend at home ... I'm not sure if MG is coming to town or not ... is supposed to but I am not holding my breath. Alone time at home sounds pretty good to me though ... catch up on some reading, watch a movie ... it's supposed to be pretty hot out so maybe some frozen blended alcoholic beverages on the patio would be a good choice ...

Tonight I am off to get a manicure & pedicure ... maybe a Boston Crimson color on the toesies ... we'll see ... I prefer pinks in the summah time ...

Anyone got any good plans for the weekend?

11-0 ... Way to rock the bats BoSox!

So last night I went to a movie with some lady friends from work ~ we went to see Knocked Up and it was friggin hilarious !

Moving on, can you imagine my surprise when I see the final box score for the Red Sox / Braves matchup is 11-0 ?? !! ?? !!

Fan-Fruckin-Tastic ! Seriously ... a 5 run lead at the end of the 1st ... Rock On my boys of summer !

Tavarez has really impressed me this year .... I wasn't all that keen on him previously, but I can admit that I am changing my tune ...

Anyhow, you can read the article HERE

Once again, Josh kept his promise ...

If you are wondering what promise he kept, look HERE .

10th win for Sir Beckett ... I so love this man ...

"With Beckett likely to make just one more start before the American League All-Star squad is announced on July 1, the right-hander looks like a near lock to be selected among the best of the best for the first time in his career. "

This will make me so happy ... I voted for all of my BoSoxBoys to make the all star team ... no doubt about it !

Nice article can be read here

On this day in baseball ...

~ 1973 ~

In different games, Reds' Pete Rose (a single against the Giants) and Dodger Willie Davis (home run off the Braves) both collect their 2,000th career hit.

SanFran-tastic Sweep by the BoSox !

Jebus ... prayers do get answered ... all I asked for was a beautiful Giants sweep this weekend, and my prayer came true ...

So ... the crappy-ass Barry Bonds got another homer - and off to my Wakey ... but you know what ? It wasn't nearly enough to break up the 3 game sweep ...

HOLY CRAP-OLA ! Pedroia is on FIRE !!!! 5 hits in 5 at bats ...

I didn't see it ... so it's hard for me to say ... but I still call BullShit to the ejection of Papi ...

Yoooooooooouk !!! Youkilis has played 114 consecutive errorless games at first base as of Friday night. His last error at first came on July 4, 2006. Youk is five games shy of the club record set by Stuffy McInnis ...

Now we are off to Atlanta .... GOOD LUCK ! Stomp those Braves !!!!

This made me smile ...

This is funny ... and very true !


Overheard at the beach ...

WTF is going on ????

Well, my sweet Josh Beckett ... I am sorry that you had to have that dreaded game added to your W/L column ... this just isn't going the way I want it to.

WTF is up with the offense?? Do you boys need to get a massage and get some relief so you can calm the hell down and start playing some good fruckin ball??

Let me tell you what I want ~ I want you to hit the damn ball, hard ... and run like hell, and score mega runs .... is that to much to ask for ?

DAMN ! While we are in a freaking slump those bullshit MFY's won another game ... I can't have that ... lol ...

On a side note, I kinda got sunburned around the arm pit area and it hurts to wear a bra cause it's rubbing ... not too happy about that right now.

Let's STOMP the Giants ...

I'm a little late here ...

Ya know, sometimes life doesn't let you do what you want, and you have to be responsible and do the right thing ... so I am dedicating my break this afternoon to a quick note about last night's game.

I just want to jump up and down, kiss Wake, and give him a big ol' hug ... I am hoping that last night's game against the Colorado Suckies is our turning point ... the point where we start winning again ... the point where we can hopefully grow the lead between us and the MFY's ...

How in the hell do they get to win 7 friggin games in a row ? Why on earth do they get to play all the "lesser" teams in MLB? Who is George Steinbrenner sleeping with?

Anyhow ... Good luck tonight Schill ... let's try for a no hitter tonight ... hell, if the Tigers can do it, we can too.

Personality Analysis ...

I found this to be somewhat interesting - go ahead and give it a try ...

Visual DNA quiz

You have to choose 1 picture on every page, at the top they tell you what the criteria is, and at the end it gives you your "visual DNA"

Time to catch up ...

I have been busy - busy doing nothing.

The DS left on Saturday morning with his Papa. I was crying like crazy, and went back to bed - I slept for about 9 hours and nobody called me to say they got home safe - so I called and checked and they were all busy doing stuff. I just sat in bed sad and lonely all day ... I missed my baby ...

The DS rode his bike about 2 blocks last night - BY HIMSELF. OMG !!! I couldn't believe it - I wasn't sure he would be ready - but she thought she would try it. He knew where he was going - to the baseball field - and it's a safe town - but, he's my little boy !!!

The BoSox are back home today - with the Rockies coming to town - at least we can use the DH in this interleague game ... I, as always, am praying for a sweep - and hope to the Big Guy above that the MFY's lose, lose, lose ...

I am so grateful for the lead we have in our division, but I want it to be a bit bigger ... so I hope we can do it.

Have a good day ..........

I am overwhelmed with emotion this week. I can't find the time to write, or find anything to say. I am keeping things bottled up inside and working through the stress.

To top off my emotional scale, the DS is leaving in 2 days for the summer. He is going to my parents where he is going to have a grand time of hanging out with both sets of grandparents, fishing, swimming, boating, go-karting, PS2-ing, being with his "Northern" friends, and SO much more.

I can survive these summers alone. People ask me how I can let him go that long and I can honestly say that him having the opportunity to do all of the things I mentioned above makes it worth it. Otherwise the poor kid is stuck in daycare all day everyday while I work - which would you choose?

WHEW - that felt good to get off my chest.

I am still bummed that the Sox have lost 3 in a row - but we will turn it around. And we are still 11.5 games up on the smelly MFY's.

For some reason, I just want to say, I don't like MySpace. I love Facebook.

Pathetic ...

A friend of mine shared this picture with me ... and all I could say was how true ...

Where do I begin ?

WOW.

I cannot believe that Boston is 14.5 games up on those nasty ass MFY's ... I am LOVING it ...

Trot Nixon's return to Fenway - could you have asked for anything better than that ? A wonderul ovation for our dirt dog ... my DS wore his Nixon shirt on Monday and it was just coincidence ... but it did not go unnoticed ... we went out for an ice cream treat that night, and we saw some Sox fans - literally walked up to the DS and high fived him for his shirt ... it was cute ...

Speaking of the DS ~ he is leaving in 9 days for the summer ... he goes home to my mother's for 2 months and then to his Dad's ... he starts hockey camp in 2 weeks ... I miss him already - I get sad for the first week or so then I enjoy my summer ... I know he is having a great time with his grandparents and that's what makes it worth it. I would prefer him to be gone than be stuck at daycare all day ...

*sigh*

Memorial Day ....

big oak big oak big oak big oak big oak big oak big oak

I just wanted to wish everyone a safe Memorial Day holiday.

Please remember to keep all of those we have lost close in our hearts on Monday, the day of rememberance ...

big oak big oak big oak big oak big oak big oak big oak

All in fun ...

So, I was looking at YouTube and noticed that one of my Wily Mo Pena video's got used in a heckling post at Home Run Derby ...

Let's Rebound !!!

OK ... so the F*&%^@G BS'ing MFY's won last nights game .... fine ... whatever ... We knew (but wished not)that they were going to take 1 of the 3 ... Move On ...

Let's step it up - and punish them ...

Let's HUMILIATE them in their own house ...

OK ... moving on ...

MFY's have tension with Clemens ...

Can't say I blame ol' Kyle Farnsworth for his opinion regarding Clemens's "family clause" ...

OOOHHHH ... A funny with Clemens & Farnsworth - click HERE

Loving my Red Sox right now ...

"The Red Sox (28-12) increased their lead in the AL East over the second-place New York Yankees to 9 1/2 games. The last time the Yankees were that far back was after games of Sept. 6, 1997."

Way To Go Hinske !!!!

"Mike Rabelo hit a fly ball that the wind carried away from Hinske. He dived parallel to the ground and held the ball despite hitting the warning track face first. He stayed down for a short time before trotting off the field to an ovation."

Complete and utter sadness for me - my Beckett is on the DL

RS / Tigers ...

I wanna hear some Tigers roaring ... roaring from pain by the Tigers from being crushed by the Red Sox ...

Thanks goodness for gameday ...

Let's Go Red Sox ! ClapClap !

~ ~ ~ Update ~ ~ ~

Nice win by the Red Sox today - Shout out to Paps !!!

Papelbon closes the game in the 9th - 13 pitches: 11 strikes, 2 balls !!!

I wuv him !!

Post Mother's Day ...

The ds surprised me for Mother's Day ... we usually go out to brunch, but he wanted to go to this Cajun restaurant for lunch on Sunday. It was kinda funny because he said he wanted to eat at 1:30 - he was adamant about the time ...

We arrived, and I groaned because there were tons of people there ... we walk in, and the DS says "reservation for 2 under DS" ... they seat us and the host guy dude walks away and comes back with an envelope - the DS and my mom were in cahoots and got a gift certificate for our lunch ...

Can you say "awwwwwwwwww ...." LOL !

My boys of summer are still doing great - they are 8.5 games up over the 2nd place MFY's ... 11 games up on Tampa Bay ... LOVIN IT !!!!

I kind of wish the BS'ing media would STOP asking Johnny questions that will lead to answers regarding the Red Sox ... it's done - it's over - finished - quit beating a dead horse !!! It's just starting to piss me off, and that says a lot since I don't get that way ... but ... FTLOG !!!!

I uploaded to YouTube !

On Sunday's game at the Dome with my Red Sox - there was this Twins guy in front of me - when WMP relieved Hinske, this guy went NUTS !!!

Apparently on Saturday he heckled the crap outta Willy Mo for 7 innings - he said at one point WMP turned around, with a ball in his hand, and well ... if looks could kill ...

so, I got some video of this guy - everytime he did this I would holla "I love you Willy Mo !"

Anyhow - here they are !

A promise well kept ...

A while back I had posted that Josh Beckett made me a promise (see said promise here )

well, boyfriend hasn't broken it yet ... 7 wins for Sir Josh ... WOW ... maybe my chance encounter with him is a little extra good luck ...

Pictures from Novy's Red Sox games in MN !

here are some random pics from both Saturday's and Sunday's games ...

2 of my FAVORITES - Beckett and Tito ...

Everyone is coming off the field and watching the Derby on the big screen - there were a lot of holla's - I am wondering if there were friendly wagers on the race ???

Here we have Hinske, Papi, and Lowell taking (finishing) batting practice !

Tek approached Tavarez on the mound ...

El Capitan ... aka TekMaster or Thighman to the Enclave ... taking his turn at the plate.

Schilling warming up before Sunday's (5/6/07) game ... he got a haircut ...

Okajima - aka Darkman via Peter - in the bullpen warming up ...

Pap's warming up in the pen during the 8th ...

Final pitch count for our Paps ...

Red Sox Weekend Update by Novy !

WOW. What a great baseball weekend – where do I start ?

Well, we arrived in Minneapolis on Friday night – did a little swimming with the DS and went to bed.

Saturday we got up, went swimming, and then got ready to go shopping …

We went downtown, and wouldn’t you know we were only a few blocks from the Red Sox hotel. There were SOME people waiting outside for hopes of an autograph, I just wanted to see them up close.

We went next door to an indoor shopping mall, and used the bathroom. I was waiting out in the hall, and I see this guy walking towards me … I took a deep breath and took the plunge.

Me: “Hi Josh.”
JB: “Hey, how you doing” and gives finger pistol wave, smiles, and winks.

HOLY CRAP – I got a little teary eyed, as one of my favorite RS boys just talked to me !!! Thanks for a great start to a great weekend Josh Beckett !

We went back and stood across the street from the RS hotel, the DS and I were both wearing RS t-shirts, and out walks Papelbon … he wouldn’t sign autographs, and was on the phone … he jumped in a cab, and they were in traffic right in front of us – I told the DS to wave at him, and JP waved back and gave him a thumbs up ! WOW ! Good fortune was with us …

We called our shuttle driver, and he was coming to pick us up … BUT – instead of pulling to the side where we were standing, he drove up to the RS hotel so we could get up close and personal !!!! I saw Hinske and yelled GOOD LUCK HINSKE, he smiled, waved, and said Thanks!

Somewhere in here - we rode the shuttle to the RS hotel AGAIN, and we were on there with Dustin Pedroia's mother-in-law - she was very friendly and nice to talk to ...

What a great afternoon … we got ready to go and then went to the Metrodome …

Our seats for Saturday’s game where right above the Red Sox dugout – we got there early enough for batting practice and I got some great pictures of everyone … we lost the game, but I still had a great time …

Sunday we got in early too, only we were 4th row off the field out between left & center … WAY DIFFERENT VIEW than the night before, but we were so close to the outfielders … it was really nice – Schilling was amazing … Okajima was great … and Papelbon … 1-2-3 !!!

And in conclusion, I would just like to say – “Superman, it was great meeting you.”

pictures to come later, they need to be resized ...

ROTFLMAO ! Betrayal of Tom Brady ...

Friggin hilarious ... seriously ... and shame on you Tom Brady for wearing the insignia of the damn MFY's !!!

Twin Cities or Bust !

Today is the day we leave for Minneapolis / St. Paul ... I have confirmed our hotel reservations and the Red Sox / Twins tickets are in my purse !

I am so excited ... 2 days of baseball heaven ... I just want to know who the hell is pitching on Saturday - it should be Tavarez, but I don't know if they will have someone else in there or not .... and Sunday I will see Schilling ! The DS will wear his Schilling jersey on Sunday !!

It's just a matter of hours now ...

~ ~ ~ 3 more days ~ ~ ~

Oh my goodness, only 3 more days until I see the boys of summer play catch !

Last night the ds and I got some chores done ...

• Got the oil changed in my car
• cleaned out the car so it could be vaccuumed out
• got an ENTIRE pack of Red Sox baseball cards !!!!
• bought the posterboard, stencils, markers, and riboon for our signs
• threw in a load of RED SOX clothes of the ds to get ready to pack

Tonight we are going to:

• make our said signs - gotta figure out what to say first !
• more laundry
• do some stuff around the house
• go to the grocery store

Thursday we'll load up the car and finish packing and Friday - AWAY WE GO !

Is anything interesting going on with anyone ?????

April showers ...

bring Red Sox joy as they lead the MFY's 6.5 games at the end of April !

'lovin it !

So ~ I called it - I prayed that I would be wrong, and we would take all 3 games this weekend, but I knew we would take Friday & Sunday's games ... I felt the MFY's would take just one game ...

I am just counting down until I can see my boys of summer on Saturday in Minneapolis ...

Go Fish !

The ds was in a musical last night entitled GO FISH ... it was flat out hil.ar.i.ous !

The ds was a clownfish so he had to dress up as a clown - there were sharks, and an eel, seahorses (cowboys & cowgirls, crabs, an angel fish, starfish, polka-dotted zebra fish ! It was great - I was skeptical since I was only told Tuesday night by the ds that he needed a clown costume for the next day for dres rehearsal ... which i didn't have time to "make" ... but he looked wicked awesome last night !

*sigh* T G I F !

Tomorrow I am having a "redneck weiner" dinner party ... mostly booze and a couple friends - but we always have what I call redneck weiners, beans, brownies, beer, booze, and chips & dip ... we are going to go and have ourselves a pedicure first, then meet up at my house for some friendly fun ! I'm excited ...

and since we are talking about hotdogs, redneck style, it brings me to think that in 2 weeks I am going back home for something we have dubbed the redneck reunion ... only it's not the 2nd Annual, but take 2 !!! It will be so much fun ! More on that later though !

Swisher + Hair = Sexy

Seriously.

Nick Swisher is looking mighty damn fine with his long, Johnny Damon-ish locks of love ... WOWZA !

But, the hair is for a good cause

*sigh*

Cleaning house ...

Wow!

What do you say to a clean sweep of the MFY’s this weekend? The only word that comes to mind is Wow.

Living in WI, I do not get NESN so it’s hard to watch games … but let me tell ya, I was glued to all news Red Sox !!!

Last night I think I was actually sweating. Seriously. That was too close for comfort for me, but I just kept praying out loud – “please Lord, let them win, please.” It seemed to work!

I hope we can do the same thing to the MFY’s this weekend at the Toilet. I am SO keeping my fingers crossed … anyhow, it Sunday was definitely a day for rejoicing !

It was a beautiful weekend in Novyland. Nice, high temps … I took the DS to the park on Saturday and then we went to the drive-in for lunch and root beer floats.

Sunday we did some housework and rested and just spent time together … the weekend went to quickly …

The ds is counting down days to the Red Sox / Twins series … 12 more days he says … he’s very excited … he’s going to play catch all weekend long so he’ll be ready for when we sit on the Home Run Porch at the ‘Dome … he’s funny … we also bought 8 packs of baseball cards on Friday … we got 1 Twins playa, Joe Nathan and 1 RS playa, Tek … my man ! LOL !

Let's hear it for the boys ... let's give the boys a hand!

Please stand by for a Public Service Announcement:

GOOD LUCK RED SOX !!

Kick some MFY A$$ !!!!

Thank you, this concludes Novy's Public Service Announcent.

Fantabulous Win ...

by my beloved Red Sox !

YAY TIMLIN !!!

YAY PAPELBON !!!

I love this team !

Also - please note that in the top of the 9th, the Indians are beating the MFY's ! What a good day ... hope it stays that way !

* Top of 9th: Blake safe at first on throwing error by third baseman A.Rodriguez

** Update: Dammit ! Did I jinx the Indians ? Those friggin MFY's took the lead - I'm sorry!

78th MLB All Star Game Voting !

Read HERE for news on the voting ...


Let's bring the Red Sox Boys to the All Star Game !

1st No Hitter of 2007 !!!

Way to go Mark Buehrle !!!!

Horrific scare aftermath ...

Across the nation yesterday, it was reported that there were 10 bomb threats called in across college campuses.

I felt this one yesterday. Driving home from work, a special report that our local university had found a note about a bomb being in the residence hall and it would go off in the late afternoon.

WHY? Why would someone do such a horrible thing after what the country, the world, just suffered in Virginia?

I'm sorry - this is just unacceptable ...

Easily excitable ...

I can't help it ... seriously - I am WICKED excited about my 2 upcoming Red Sox (vs. Twins) games in May !!!

17 days. That's all.

*sigh*

If I could just pack and move to Boston, or even be closer than the Midwest, maybe it wouldn't be this bad. Now I have to fly to Boston to see them and it's not cheap to fly to Beantown. I was going to fly to Seattle this summer and it was less than HALF of the flight to Boston ... JEEPERS !

But, a Fenway experience is like no other ...

Friggin Hilarious !

I am SO not kidding ... I about peed my pants (even though I have on a skirt)

Novy's Red Sox games ...

I ordered my tickets yesterday for the Red Sox / Twins series ... We are only going to the Saturday and Sunday games ...I can't make Friday's due to work ... but that is ok ...

The ds is very excited about going - I showed him where our seats are and this morning he was all excited, "how many more days until we see the Red Sox Mom ?" ... he is DEFINATELY my son ! That is how I get ... and plus, well ... I Love the Red Sox !

Sadness at Virginia Tech

My prayers and thoughts go out to all the families of those injured or killed today in the awful shooting at Virginia Tech.

This is more and more common in the past 5 years, I just do not understand what these gunmen are thinking when they take all of these innocent lives. They then, in most cases, take their own lives after they have caused all of this irreplaceable damage to hundreds, thousands of people ...


To those familes touched by today's tragedy, I'm so sorry for your loss ...

Relaxing Weekend ?

Uh - not so much ...

I did a lot this weekend.

I came to work on Saturday for about 5 hours ... It was hot in the building and I couldn't take much more.

I rearranged my living room - my arms are a little sore from moving the entertainment center, tv, dvd shelves, couch, mirror, building a new shelf, recliner (things heavy, it's a massaging one so it's got a motor in it), and the mirror above my couch - that beast is HEAVY.

Watched the wonderful Boston Boys of Baseball play the Angels ... Good Job Curt Schilling !!! great game I thought ...

When the ds came home from his dad's on Sunday, I took him to a movie - he picked Firehouse Dog . It was a cute movie - very much for kids of course - but I truly enjoyed it ...

Then we went and did some shopping, and went to dinner at a BBQ place ... YUM!

AND, the DS did go to the Twins / Devil Rays game with his dad on Saturday - the Twins got a win ! The DS also got a foul ball and got to shake hands with Juan Rincon who then went out and pitched right after that ! He had a good time ... even though there were no pictures taken ... I will have to remedy that when we go to our game!

Meeting up with old friends ...

So, I just talked to my good girly buddy, KJ.

She went out last night, ran into an old friend ... had a nice time ... blah blah blah ...

I just want to give her a shout out and say "Girl, you had a fun time and meeting up with a friend from the past is amazingly funny ... I am glad you a had a fun time"

I could SO tell you had a fun night by the sound of your voice ...

** Looking forward to all of us having a weekend of drunken fun soon **

Wake is on the mound ...

tonight ... against the Angels ...

PLEASE, oh PLEASE ... can we get some run support for my deary Timmy?

Is it just coincidence that the rest of the team is not on the top of their game when he is pitching, or does the BIG GUY have it out for Wake?

There are presents for our boys tonight if they bring in lotsa lotsa runs ... I promise.

TAX TIME !

I'm not sure why I have waited this long to have them done ... but I have. I usually do it right away, and get it over and done with. This year has been busy and I just "forgot" about it ... but tonight is the night I go get them done ... Wish me luck.

Gyroball ... Unhittable?

Bill Nye the Science Guy gives the world his take here ...

Fenway Opener ...

HOLY CRAP BATMAN !

Top of the 3rd and it is 7-0 Red Sox !

WOO HOO !!!

JD Drew just homered ... well, in the 2nd he did ... but you knew what I meant ...

update:

11-1 in the top of the 5th ... I love high scoring games ... well, when the RS score high ... Beckett is looking mighty fine out there today !

Home ...

We made it home yesterday about 4:00 ... we had good timing and I didn't really speed too much ... just set the cruise control at 70 mph most of the way.

The DS rode from my mom's house to work with her, so they could have a little extra bonding time before we had to leave. Then we hit the open highway and came home ... it was a long drive, and I was wicked tired ... I get sad when I leave "my" home to come back to "our" new home ... it's been 5 years ... but I still miss my mom like crazy.

The DS is going to go with his father this weekend I believe - to a Twins game ... they are only playing Tampa Bay so he's not as excited as when we are going to see the Red Sox vs the Twins in May ...

Happy Tuesday!

Easter ...

We had a wonderful easter ...

the easter bunny brought me 2 new cd's and some patio lights ...

my mom got new scrapbooking supplies - she has just recently joined the scrapping cult ... she's really good too !

the ds got a new movie ... it's an animated one about baseball ... only it's the mfy's !!! he told my mom he wouldn't be able to take it home cause we don't allow MFY stuff at our house ... WHAT A SMART KID ! ... but, i told him that the easter bunny made a horrible mistake, but he could still keep it. He wants to give it to a friend ... he's definately my son !

I am not looking forward to tomorrow ... I don't want to leave ...

music ...

i am downloading my mp3 playa with a bunch of new music today ...

i even have a recording of me, at 2 years old - almost 26 years to the day - of my grandparents and i at the hunting shack ... it's a tear jerker to hear my grampa tell me he loves me whenever i want, since he died 14 years ago ...

so i am very excited to have new music to listen to !

I am still awake ...

I am just sitting here ... it's 12:08 am ... I am on vacation for 6 days ... I can't sleep. LOL ... not going to work in the morning is nice ... but I will still have to get up early ... we are going shopping.

Right now I am just surfing the web - flippin through iTunes ... and the TV is on in the background ... everytime I try and tear myself away, I get sucked back in by some Godforsaken thing ...

*sigh*

That's it ... I'm going to bed ... I think ...

Are we back to this again?

Well, Johnny is bound to be placed on the DL ... but don't fret your pretty little head, cause he still has sexy calves ...

First win for Dice-K !!

YAY !

WAY TO GO D.M. !!!!

And I would like to say to the crowd of 23,170 who booed Matsuzaka in the first when he stepped behind the mound and started doing half jumping-jacks, snapping his heals together in the air. PISS OFF ASSHOLES ! You aint the MFY's ... if anyone can Boo my beloved Red Sox it's the MFYF's ... so, Go.To.Hell. - - - thanks !

Wow, D-Mat threw 74 of 108 pitches for strikes and he retired 10 batters in a row ... Hey, you have a fan here ... I swear to you ... LOL !

And ... let us not forget about dear Papelbon. He struck out two of three batters for his first save !!! Yay !!! Perfect ... He is going to be one of the best closers of his time ... no doubt about it ...

So, I am happy to say we, the Red Sox, took the series ... 2 W's under our belt ...

GO SOX !

Thank You !

Oh ... I got the highlights of the game last night against the Royals and I was ecstatic to see that we, meaning of course the Red Sox, won 7-1 last night.

BTW, what the hell was the temperature in Kansas City last night? Probably not as cold as I am here in Northern Minnesota this morning (3 Degrees) ... I digress ... (update: it was 42 degrees last night and dropped into the 30's)

Beckett ... You promised me (see said promise HERE ) and you came through ... I LOVE YOU ! Well, in the most loving way a baseball fan can love a young pitcher ... You know what I mean ! Right?

Youky - 2 run homer in the 7th ... I love that you come through for us ... thank you ...

Well, another game this afternoon ... I am almost wishing for a chilly afternoon as you boys in uniform kept it warm last night ... Let's have another win shall we ...

WTF Johnny ... sexy calves ...

I cannot believe you said this in your YES interview ... dear God ...

In case you want to know - dear Johnny addressed his cramping calves, as he left the game yesterday. Said he had this problem before in Boston, has it in airplanes, it's a cold weather problem, and he said---

"That's the price I pay for having such SEXY CALVES."

FTLOG !

And ... honey - Jason Giambi did not "GET SEXY" at the plate. Sweetie - he will never get sexy ... EVER ... unless you like that look ... you know the constant look of sweat ... yuck. Sorry Jason ... no offense ... just ... just ... it's not doing it for me ... you are never going to be the porn star you want to be.

Johnny Dearest ... Please leave the sexy remarks to Justin Timberlake ...

So far the MFY's are down ...

HAPPY OPENING DAY !

YAY ! Today is finally here ! I am so excited !



GO RED SOX ! Have a great day and beat some Royal Ass !

no cares ...

I am in a piss poor mood today.

Some of my favorite things ...

This is where I entered Fenway Park for the very first time ...

I really hope Manny uses a new picture ... I was not digging this one so much.

Just a beautiful site ... that's it!

I sat on here for about 90 minutes or so ... this is where I talked to Billy Crystal at the MFY series in August ...




Let us NOT forget about Fanny the Fenway Cow ... who resides in Copley Place ...

First Game of 2007 !

Holy Friggin Crap !

Can you believe that in 4 days (not including today of course) that the Red Sox have the first game of the 2007 Season ??

YAY !!!!

Faith in promises ...

See ... If Mr. Joshy-Woshy can promise me a win ... they all can ... and I'll believe them too ... I have a good feeling about Sir Beckett this year ... a very good feeling indeed.

I lost my mind !

I was chatting with my dear mother on the phone last night - and somehow we got to talking about youtube ... which then led us to blogger ... which then in turn led us to MY BLOG !

FTLOG ! What on earth was I thinking ???

I am now going to have to edit things I put on here ... and watch my p's and q's ... and ... and ... and ... *sigh* oh heavens to betsy, I am so screwed ... but I love ya anyway Ma !

Who are you ?

This was fun for me, since I LOVE Grey's Anatomy ...

Take THE QUIZ to see which Grey's personality you are most similar too ...

MLB Roundtable - Eastern Division

I like this quote best of all ...

Dan Owen: Boston Red Sox - This is a two team race, and anybody who says otherwise obviously doesn't follow baseball. The Yankees and the Red Sox are going to go at it yet again, and this year I think the Bo Sox have the upper hand. They easily have the better starting pitching, and I'd say that Jon Papelbon is a better closer than Mariano Rivera. I know, gasp! But Rivera isn't invincible like he used to be, and I just don't see him being as good as the young gun. Thank god the Sox took their heads out of the ground to see that they really don't need Papelbon in the rotation. The Yankees are probably a slightly better offensive team, but pitching wins championships, so the Red Sox will win the division by a healthy 5 games. But here's to Toronto doing something awesome, since I'm pretty sure everyone is sick of this rivalry by now.

All I want for opening day is my ...

two front teeth?

LOL ! Thought this was wicked funny ...

Warm temps ...

Yesterday in Novyland we had 83 degrees ... what a beautiful day - I brought out the flip flops !

The DS had his end of season skating party at a roller rink ... I always have a good time with the kids, so we were busy playing the arcade games and winning lots of tickets to get prizes. The kids are so funny - they trusted me to hold all of their tickets ... and we cashed them in as a group - that way whatever tickets I won, they could split between them. They did pretty well too ... We had a blast spending them ...

I brought a picture of the team, and I had picked up a mat for it ... and all of kids that were there signed it ... It looks so cute in the frame - I told them that if they ever make it big in the NHL, I am the lucky one to have gotten their first autograph !

Another nice day today, I am wearing sandals ... then it may start to cool down. That's ok, I live with it ...

Have a great day !

Day of rest ?

Not likely ...

I had to work a few hours today - and I have a whole big long list of stuff I want to accomplish today at home.

• Clean out the laundry room
• Clean out the garage
• Do laundry
• Wash Kitchen Floor
• Dust Living Room
• Clean out my closet
• Clean out the DS's closet
• Clean out "spare" kitchen closet - where I store the vaccuum & mop & ironing board amongst everything else ...

Well, the list is big enough - so I will stop there - even though I have more TO DO's on the brain !

Answered Prayers ...

I. Love. This. Guy.

Thank You Schill !

per Curt Schilling's blog Paps has been named closer ...

I am so relieved ... I mean, don't get me wrong, I wanted to see him strut his stuff in the starting rotation, but I have much more confidence in him closing those games ...

YAY !

Lord, please don't tease me like this ...

So, I was doing my mid-day perusing of blogs ... and saw that Jere recently posted THIS about my beloved Paps ...

PLEASE BE TRUE !

Please do NOT tease me in such an awful, tormenting way ...

This haunts me at night ... I swear to you ... I worry about who on Earth could possibly fill this man's shoes, and there is nobody ...


Also, please note that Reb of the wonderful REBSOX has made an appearance today ... NOW I feel like it's baseball season with her back ...

LaRussa is ASleepa ...

Well, falling asleep at the wheel is a dangerous thing, but it is even worse when you are asleep at the wheel and drunk like LaRussa was found to be ...

Bummah ...

Anyone need a grill ?

If you do, ask Manny about the one he has for sale ...

LOL ! I LOVE what The Dugout has to say today

Poor Bob Uecker ...

Bobby Boy's stalker is back ...

David Wells ...

I read this ... today about David Wells. I can't say I am surprised ... but it's something he'll have to work on.

Whenever I think of him, I always think of seeing him last August at Fenway - after the game - everyone is driving around in these fancy-schmancy vehicles ... and away drives Wells in a beat up red truck ... I waved, he waved - then he yelled at some prick on the street cause the guy was being, well, a prick ... LOL !

good memories ...

Hin-nnnnnnn-ske

Good article on the Red Sox site today ...

A little love for Eric Hinske from Tito. I saw him play last year ... I was impressed ... I was also impressed with is GRAND SLAM in spring training this year.

Also, my sweet, dear, hunky Beckett ... my love, you have got to work on this ... you are making me nervous for the regular season ... I want to keep the faith in you, and baby, I don't want to have to yell at the damn TV when you are on ... Um-Kay? great ... thanks ...

Any-who ... I'm outtie for now ... Me gots a headache ...

On this date in baseball ...

I love this stinkin calendar ...

March 15, 2000:

In spring training action, Red Sox star Pedro Martinez and five relievers combined on a perfect exhibition game beating the Blue Jays 5-0.

Quote from Mark Lemke:
"What really catches your eye is how small Pedro is. you go up against Roger Clemens, even if you've never seen him before, and you say, 'This guy looks overpowering.' You wouldn't say that about Pedro Martinez."

The Niffer-ella ...

oh ... yeah ... we are back to the hijinx again ...

So ... Miss Niffer ... she's raggin on me today ... I'm gonna punch her in the face ...

*giggle, giggle*


I told her I was going to write a little something about her ... but ... it might make her cry, so I am opting to be like Missouri, and I choose to not participate.

~ ~ ~ sorry ~ ~ ~ LMAO ~ ~ ~

this post means nothing to anyone other than Niffer ...

More on the pathetic A-Rah drama ...

I just love calling him that ... thanks to a DUGOUT favorite ...

oh ... but I digress ... this is the pathetic drama I was referring to ...

A-Rah on "mission not complete with MFY's ..."

Gag Me With A Spoon ... just ... just ... read this ...

My Papel-hon ...

From MLB Mailbag found here

I especially like this question ...

How well do you think Jonathon Papelbon will adapt to starting? Do you expect him to take the entire season to adjust?
-- Morag M., United Kingdom

This is definitely one of the most interesting issues surrounding this year's team. Papelbon was so electric in the closer role last year that you can only wonder if he will have the same type of dominance as a starter. The Red Sox are also very mindful of Papelbon's health after his right shoulder scare of a year ago. The last time the Red Sox made such a significant closer-starter transition with one of their starters was with Derek Lowe in 2002. Lowe responded by going 21-8 that year and throwing a no-hitter. The jury is still out on Papelbon.

As Spring Training moves on ... I keep thinking that I want my Papel-baby to hold off on starting, and concentrate on closing ... I want to have confidence that when we need a STRONG closer, we can count on Jonathon being the GO-TO-MAN !!!

On this date ...

3/12/1903:

The New York Highlander franchise (to be remaned MFY's in 1913) is approved as a member of the American League.

Quote from Bill Veeck:

"Baseball is the only thing beside the paper clip that hasn't changed."

2nd Place ...

What a fine way to finish up the ds's hockey season.

We had an out of town tournament this weekend, we played 3 games on Saturday, we took 2 and lost 1. We then won our game on Sunday to clinch 2nd place. We are moving up in the world, the kids were pleased previously with their 3rd place trophy, so you can only imagine how happy they were yesterday.

It was an emotional day as a hockey mom. I love this sport. I love watching my son skate. I love all the kids on the team, they are all so great. Let's not forget the little friends I have made, being the siblings of the ds's teammates. I will see them all again at the end of season banquet and the kids skating party.

These great kids presented each of the parents with a beautiful rose yesterday after their win, and thanked us, the parents, for being there for all their games & practices, cheering loud and often, and just being a great support system for them. I was teary eyed.

Our 3 coaches all gave a post-game speech yesterday - congratulating the kids with how far they had come this season, and how proud they were of each and every one of them. They went on to say the same of us ... I am so proud of the coaches we had this year ... they taught the kids good sportsmanship, helped them excel in their skills, and showed them you can have fun out there ...

*sigh* Until next season ... it's only 6 1/2 months away !

Boston - vs - MFY

Tonight the beloved Sox meet up with the MFY's ... but I have to wonder why the Three Amigo's won't make the trip to Fort Myers ...

Happy Weekend !

Well, I am outta here for the weekend ... the DS has one final hockey tournament this weekend ... so we will be busy to say the least ...

Wishing everyone a joyous weekend ...

and to my Enclavian Sistahs: Jebus does things for a reason ... remember that !

Hansen is # 9 on Hot List ...

Craig Hansen of my beloved RED SOX is # 9 on Top 10 Breakout Performers for MLB 2007 !!!!

9. Craig Hansen, RP, Red Sox
Age: 23

Hansen showed solid command in the minors, notched a 1.82 ERA in 59.2 innings and coughed up not a single home run. To indulge in understatement for a moment, things did not go so swimmingly after his promotion to Boston. In '07, however, Hansen figures to make strides, and, should Joel Pineiro flop in his new role, he might he even wind up with some save opportunities. Long-term, he remains a highly promising young reliever.

Good Luck, make RSN proud ...

Brady's Ladies = Fertile ????

Tom Brady - to be a daddy twice ... it's like having twins ... only they have different moms ...

however ... it's not confirmed ...

Price of Fame ...

Word out of Brookline is that the Red Sox $52 million mound man Daisuke Matsuzaka is moving into the haute ’hood. The Japanese pitchman, with wife Tomoyo Shibata and their 1-year-old daughter, will join team brass John Henry, Larry Lucchino and Terry Francona in the official suburb of the Boston Red Sox prior to opening day. It’s supposed to be a big secret, but we do know that Dice-K is renting a luxe crib - that just got a kitchen makeover - in a gated community with 24-hour security. The rent, we’re told, is around $10,000 per month. Which seems like a bargain in Brookline! But don’t put the coffee cake in the oven just yet. Word is that Dice-K and T., a former Nippon TV personality dubbed “Rockets” by the Japanese press, plan to stay on the DL in Boston. The Matsuzakas, who are the celebrity equivalent of Brad and Angelina in Japan, will be camera-shy outside of the park - especially if they are with their daughter. “They are adamant that the baby never be photographed or made available to the public,” a Red Sox insider told the Track. “Tomoyo was a member of the Japanese media and she knows the score.”
