port of indecision

Alright, good news, I am most definately alive, and apologize for not updating this thing in quite some time. More good news is the long layoff gives me something to write about.

First things first, is Kevin Millar's 2 week span in which he actually hits the ball really worth the other six months and 2 weeks of futility? If this was what we really were looking for in a first baseman why didn't we just continue to go with Brian Daubach, pretty much getting the same thing minus Millar's constant whining. Or maybe we could bring back Carlos Quintana, he's probably a few years younger than Julio Franco. But that being said I do stand by Terry Francona sticking with his guns from last year, despite Millar's almost comical consistency when it comes to flying out to left. I just wish the rest of the organization, specifically Theo and upper management, had the same type of loyalty to the guys that ended this curse. I would of loved to see last years team come back and defend the title, Pedro, Lowe, Cabrera, Roberts, and the rest of the Series winners that were cast off. After the Sox 86 season, they actually kept Bill Buckner for another year, but let go 5 key players from the most important team in Boston sports history. Bellhorn getting dumped and then picked up by the Yankees was really tough for me too swallow. Bellhorn has obviously seen better years, his strike out numbers were getting astronomical, they were actually becoming a running joke. Despite this I still think he got the raw end of the deal here, everyone knows how he was treated from the media and fan bashing to management dropping him quicker than Jared could pound down a sweet onion chicken terryaki. In reality he should be remembered as a Boston sports hero. How quickly people seem to forget this guy had 3 homeruns between game 6 against the Yanks and game 1 vs the Cards. Two of those were the go ahead runs in the late innings of close games. Hopefully ten years from now he is remembered for that, and not for his record for most consecutive games without smiling. My last thing on the Sox is Bronson Arroyo got caught in the Dorm room of a Northeastern freshman ( http://www.dudemannews.com/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=df725f32f92d5167da56b9b1dd4693c2&action=printpage;topic=50.0 ) and apparently his wife is not happy. Here's my biggest gripe, first off I'm really not as disappointed as some that Bronson has a wife at home and chooses to go hang out with freshman, what bothers me is his choice in location. As a Northeastern student I gotta say nay to Bronson and any other professional athlete, actor, musician, Ice Cream truck man, or pretty much anyone who is not an NU student from dipping into our talent pool. If Bronson and his Red Sox cronies start taking all the NU girls, the rest of us guys will be left with nothing but the stetson east cafeteria staff. So Bronson here's what I'm asking you, go to BU, BC, BHCC, I don't care, but this Northeastern thing needs to stop.

Digital cable is the best invention to hit television since the remote. I actually spent 45 minutes yesterday going through my On Demand options before finally deciding on Food Networks Uwrapped: School Lunch. Do you realize that school's are actually getting there lunches catered these days, and that there is a head of the elementary school lunch board for the entire country. And better yet, she abolished Salisbury Steak from the school lunch menu, I can not believe my kids are going to be able to go through life without eating a salisbury steak, I can't control my jealousy. I don't think you could get a salisbury steak outside of elementry schools, so whoever was making these things has to be out of business, another tough blow for the economy.

I would like to make it clear that I was planning on returning to the blog a good 2 weeks ago, but unfortunately those plans, as well as all other plans including homework, important events with family and friends, work, and even shaving have all been pushed aside for Madden 06. I am officially through with my third season meaning I have played at least 32 games, at about an hour a game thats 32 hours, it is astonishing that I haven't failed out of school.


God Bless and Good luck to all those victimized by Hurrican Katrina, while never actually placing a foot in New Orleans, I still feel as if I have been there through the songs Ive heard and books I've read.
