Congratulations to Mike Yastrzemski for getting the big call-up to the bigs after seven years in minors.
I guess it would be kinda cool to be a zombie. I mean you don’t have to bathe or change your clothes, and you’re no uglier or better looking than anyone else but all that walking must be a drag.
I’d rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints.

I saw a bumper sticker this morning that read: My Child Is Your Honor Student’s Drug Dealer
The Red Sox drafted two shortstops this past week. With the 43rd pick they selected Cameron Cannon. I hear he’s got a strong arm. A real cannon you might say. (ouch)

In celebration of the 50 year anniversary of the 1969 Charles Manson-led slayings, California Governor Gavin Newsom overruled a parole board decision on Tuesday to free the youngest member of the murderous cult, Leslie Van Houten. She was 19 years old at the time and now has been denied parole three times. As Red would say, “Rehabilitated? Now I don’t even know what that means.”
That cute young girl who kicked off game 3 the other night, Kaila Anderson, is the only Blues fan I like.
Once you understand why we put a round pizza into a square box and cut it into triangles, you will finally understand women.

You know things are not going well when you have to pull your goalie with 5:30 remaining, you let up a goal, put the goalie back in and let up another.

“Do you, don’t you want me to love you
I’m coming down fast but I’m miles above you
Tell me tell me tell me come on tell me the answer
Well you may be a lover but you ain’t no dancer”
