(to explain how Boston, NC and Atlanta are all my home towns would take entirely too much space. Let’s just say I have a legitimate and genetic link to Red Sox Nation and despite the sinus congestion peanut and I are both fighting today, we’re happy, happy members of said Nation!)
Go SOX!

1. Papelbon is inSANE. He is just CRAZY!!2. When did JD Drew amass a .412 batting average? Can that be right?3. Gagne…sucks…4. Lugo–well, we’ve got to have one guy in the infield that ain’t great, right?5. I. Love. Pedroia. 6. I. Love. Ellsbury. (Even though he’s 15. And beat UNC as a member of Oregon State’s baseball team in the College World Series. Love him!)7. Did I mention that Papelbon is insane? He’s goggles and Cotton Eyed Joe crazy. Nuts.8. Go SOX!!
Papelbon is totally insane and I love it. Did you hear how Captain Crazy himself, Kevin Millar, threw out the first pitch Sunday? He brings the good mojo!
Ahhh.. Mill-arrr!! He always reminds me of marching band, because I say his name like a pirate–just like we used to do with the “ARRRR” in “C-A-ARRRRR-O-L-I-N-A!!”Hopefully, tonight’s game is more dramatic!
