As Chris was home staring at his Plasma Sunday night watching hockey, I was fortunate enough to be @ Fenway for the Sox vs. Yankees series sweep game. Chris was in fact the only person east of Pittsburgh who watched the Detroit Calgary game. I think if you took a poll that night, more than ¾ of the earth’s population would not know there was a hockey game. That in itself is troublesome but hey what do you expect with Bettman running things?
The night started out with a few Bud’s in the car ride in followed by a pleathora more @ Copperfields next door to Fenway. You could feel the electricity in the air as both Sox and Yankees fans were all gassed up and ready for a battle. I long for the days of the Garden and Causeway Street having this same energy another time during my life but since the Bruins MGMT. team is completely incompetent, I don’t see this happening. I guess now I know what it’s like to be a Panthers or a Blue Jackets fan. No wonder why they drink so much in those places. What the hell do they have to look forward to anyway?
Me and three of my buddies finally make our way into Fenway after some solid effort put in over at Copperfields. I did run into my buddy J-Bone, who is a stellar goalie in his own right, at Copperfields. He was pretty horrified when I yelled over to him with 3 beers in my hand as he was entertaining clients. Sorry J-Bone my bad! Some of you may know from attending games @ Fenway but let’s just say if you want to purchase any food or beverage, you better have robbed a Brinks truck. Bottled water is $6.25, not that I was drinking any of that but Christ that is a joke. Here is where things get good for Killer. As I made my way through a food line, the nerd behind the counter tells me that the register is broken but that I could grab my food here and I could go about 15′ over to the next register to pay for it. I look around and notice pure chaos as boozed up baseball fans are everywhere. I proceed to grab as much food as my hands could carry and meander out of site, strategically missing that register. Yes I did something wrong and I feel shamed but you know what? That was the best pizza, chicken sandwich, cheeseburger and 2 hot dogs I have ever had!! Now only if that could happen at the beer line.
Before I can even spit out my first peanut shell, Dice-K plunks A-Hole and then follows that one up by plunking Kweeter. I couldn’t be happier or more bombed. I highly recommend attending any Sox vs. Yankees game with as much alcohol in your system as possible. As the middle part of the third inning arrived, I considered taking a piss break but opted to stick around. Thank god I did as history was about to occur.
In an electrifying sequence, the Red Sox briefly turned the game into batting practice, tying a Major League record with four consecutive home runs against Yankees lefty Chase Wright. Manny Ramirez put the dramatic power show in motion, then it was J.D. Drew’s turn followed by Mike Lowell and finally Jason Varitek was the fourth Red Sox hitter in a row bombing one into the Monster Seats to put the Sox in front in the most dramatic fashion imaginable. As Dicky V says so eloquently – That was Awesome Baby! In the end, Papelbon closed out the victory by getting A-Hole to ground to Lowell at third base: 7-6 Sox win and a sweep of the Yankees. Not quite as exciting as the hockey game Chris watched but pretty close.
So far, I would give the Stanley Cup Playoffs a solid B-. The Vancouver / Dallas series was flat out terrific. Not sure how much gas Vancouver has left in the tank but if Luongo keeps making spectacular play after play, they may make a run. Let me re-peat that I still HATE Ottawa and hope they get blown out by New Jersey. The battle of NY between the Sabres and Rangers looks even on paper but I don’t see how the Sabres can survive the physical play. Detroit and San Jose is the heavyweight battle. The Red Wings fell asleep for a few games against Calgary and if they aren’t careful San Jose will send em home early. Who will lift Lord Stanley? Stay tuned.
Nice work Killer. Sounds like a blast. The Sox/Yankme rivalry is arguably the biggest in sports. Any true fan needs to get to Fenway to see it in person.
Modano probably didn’t sleep a second last night after ringing one off the cross bar. He had it tied! CLANG! I like The Rangers, sadly Ottawa, Detroit, and Ducks to move on.
Hey Killer, at $6.25 for A bottle of water I wouldn’t be to shameful about your 5 course meal, in fact I’m A little more concerned that you were at A baseball game.
Thanks foe the ticket call Killer, my phone must have been off. You bastard.
RT – with the Million Dollar Babies at home, any chance I have to get out of the house I jump at. If the rodeo comes to town I am there!
Hey K-Special, when was the last time you got any tickets to anything? No, your speeding tickets don’t count.
Good point Killer, My stepson is almost 14 so that scenario is long lost history to me, Sorry Man.
Don’t turn this around on me Killer. You dropped the ball in my opinion. Big night tonight, I am excited to watch some pucks and drink a few pilsners. I am hoping Joe & the Brick are working the game.
i live in miami right now (exchange student from germany) so i kinda HAVE to be a panthers fan :/ at least we get free parking and tickets for like 5 bucks a game :/
I think Lord Stanley would look good with the Rangers. Besides, the Rangers have always slaughtered the Buffalo, just ask any Native American.
6:17 eastern time 2nd overtime, Rangers, Ye Fucken Ha, Man these games get long with no fights, It’s A good thing spike covers the U.F.C. otherwise I would have to go back to Lewiston to see A good brawl.
I was watching the NASCAR Race, but I caught the last 8 minutes of the 1st OT ,and all off the 2nd. What an exciting bit of hockey. That shot Buffalo had off the inside of the post was a little too close for comfort eh? Sitting down for the Nucks/Ducks. Love Parros’s porn stache.
Killer, Put a very nice dent in the Grey Goose you bought for MOL and I yesterday. Pretty sure I am going to hurl in my trash can.
Nice work. Not sure The Goose and Nascar go well together buy hey it’s still booze!
Het Chris, I found the perfect hockey jersey for you on ebay, The Yuk’s, it’s green with A pukey smiley face.
Nice RT! I could use it today.
MOL says “the old grey goose just hhhhaaaiinnt what she used to be,hhhhaaaiinnt what she used to be”
he he he he
Hilarious. You are like Rosie O’Donnell’s girlfriend today. On a roll!
You didn’t take me serious did you? don’t ever take me serious, I’ve been nicknamed 2-cents many times in my life for my smartass comments, besides in my opinion, anyone who hasn’t yaked from excess alchohol abuse is truley not hardcore, Semper-Fi brother.
No, not at all. You are a riot. The only thing I like better than a joke, is a joke at my expense!
Can someone take Killer FORE story off the home page? Every time I see it I want to wrap my Warrior one piece twig around his head. Go Sharks!!!!!
Did you skip your medication today K-Special?
I want to post something tonight, but MOL and I are going to Crossroads. Chances are excellent I am having a manhattan or 12 and not writing shit.
Awww come on
Two’s are wild in the Ranger series. I am drunk. Post tomorrow. I promise. Semper Fi.
These Rangers are a real surprise, but I find it hard to cheer for them because I cannot stand Jagr. FYI, Nylander is amother guy the Bruins let out of their stable. I mediated with Bud Lights last night.
can you just imagine if the B’s were a little more greedy with their talent? it’s been wwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyy
toooooooooooooo lllllllllllllooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggg.
