It’s as gloomy and shitty as ever outside today, but thanks to the Joy of Sox my spirits are buoyed. That’s because today is the five year anniversary of one of the greatest games in baseball history — the July 24, 2004 brawlfest between the Red Sox and Yankees that featured not only loathsome [...]

Friday Random 10: Curses Edition
Pax Arcana
The Red Sox have now won all 8 games against the Yankees in 2009, and I think you know what that means:
PROBABLY NOTHING IN THE LONG TERM!
No wait. I mean:
SOMETHING SUPERNATURAL MUST BE THE CAUSE OF THIS!
Red Sox owner and animatronic pipe cleaner John Henry got things started last night, when he typed into [...]

Pedroia takes the crown
Pax Arcana
Congratufugginlations to Dustin Pedroia, who today was named the American League MVP for 2008.
It was becoming increasingly difficult to argue for anyone else to take home the hardware (though some ridiculous efforts have been made).
In the end, Pedroia, as Alex Speier over at WEEI.com notes, led the league in so many categories — while [...]

Congratufugginlations
Pax Arcana
I’m out of commission today on business in Florida (hey, someone’s got to rig these voting machines, right?), but I did want to take a few minutes to say congratufugginlations to the Tampa Bay Rays and their dozens of short-suffering “fans.”
In all seriousness, the Rays are a stellar team. There is not a single [...]

Technical difficulties?
Pax Arcana
Technical difficulties, TBS? That’s your circa 1961 excuse for blowing this one?
Also, would it have killed you to show something slightly less, um, shit-tastic than the Steve Harvey Show while you get your fucking resumes ready?

Ugh
Pax Arcana
Now that really sucked. Not only did the Dodgers and Red Sox lose last night, but the previously undefeated Giants went down to the previously 1-3 Cleveland Browns.
Here is my complete chronological recap of Monday Night Football:
[/throws three picks, including one from inside the Browns 10 yard line that is returned for the game-sealing [...]

Tim McCarver will just make shit up
Pax Arcana
Back in the day, Pax Arcana would rush home from backyard wiffle ball games to hear Tim McCarver call Mets games on WWOR. Back then, McCarver was the knowledgeable straight man to Ralph Kiner’s hilarious progessive drunkenness throughout the games.
In 1999, McCarver was fired by the Mets for being too critical of the team. [...]

A blog that’s the bomb like tick, tick
Father Scott
The only thing I’ve liked more than my beard in 2008 is Lil Wayne. Suffice it to say that when this year’s top 3,491 songs of 2008 series of posts on Pax Arcana rolls around, Tha Carter III will be featured prominently.
And now Lil Wayne has joined the likes of noted luminaries Andre Ethier, [...]

Is Father Scott the next great sports blogger?
Father Scott
Doubtful, but WEEI.com (which has been revamped and is actually pretty great now) held a contest this month in which they were searching for “the next great sports blogger.” They’re looking for someone to write once a week (so is it really a blog, then?), and since they’re offering $5,000 to do it, I figured [...]

Jerry Remy stunk
Pax Arcana
Via Red Sox Monster, here’s Marvin the Martian assessing the career of Jerry Remy — the official mascot of the Boston sycophant media and carnival barker for all kinds of Remy-branded schlock:
To be fair, Jerry Remy really did stink.
