Hello Buddy

Carl Everett is the man! The craziest man to ever have played baseball. Strike that, the craziest man to have ever played baseball and have been pretty good at it. I was sad to see Carl go when he got traded for a box of donuts many years ago, but if I learned one thing from last year it was that Nomar was a cancer and if you don't get rid of cancer you won't win the World Series or 7 straight Tour de France. What I didn't learn last year is that cancer can sometimes come back to bite you in the ass or ball sack as it where. Thursday night the Bible thumping Carl turned walks into wine. Well, that would make since if you replace wine with a two run first inning homer. Fortunately Clement didn't pull a Lowe and crap all over himself.

Schilling, like he has all season, blew. This time it was officially documented that way in the eighth after giving up a run in a one run game. Fortunately for Schilling Manny Ramirez is very good and Vizcaino is, umm, not so good. Manny took Vizcaino deep to give the out of town Sox a lead that would hold up for the win.

I'm incredibly disappointed, I forgot this feeling, letting down your starter, you know they battle they get a lead. The thought process behind some of the pitches was not what it needed to be, and that is an adjustment I have to make." -- Curt Schilling 7-22-05
