HAPPY EQUIPMENT TRUCK DAY
The first holiday of the Pedronic calendar (besides November 18, Pedronikah) was today. The equipment truck left Fenway Park destined for Ft. Myers and a new season. This Friday at 11 AM Red Sox pitchers and catchers will report. Soon they'll start playing baseball against other MLB teams and a set of split-squad games with Northeastern and Boston College. Soon after that, we'll see the Sox play the O's in Camden Yards as the 162 game schedule begins. Less than a week later, the Blue Jays will come to town and Fenway will once again be alive with 35,000 screaming, angry, drunk fans desperate to beat the scum 3 hours to the southeast. Desperate to see a World Champions' flag raised in center field. This, the year 7 AP (Anno Pedro), the year of Curt Schilling, we shall see 162 excellent played games and maybe more. We'll see around 20 more sox/Y*nks battles that will exhaust Red sox Nations' collective hearts and perhaps will fill our souls with joy.
Speaking of the scum, Selig approved the deal that sent A-Rod to them. The dark side is strong. but the force is strong with Theo. If the old boys do as good as they did last year and the acquisitions perform to expectations, we can win. We'll have to beat the Y*nkees in the seaosn series in order to do so, but we can win.
Back to Pedronic news, Tom Brady has ben beatified as a Pedronic Saint. This was on February 2, the day he won his second Super Bowl and Super Bowl MVP. He is the patron Saint of clutchness.
Now as far as non-Red Sox news goes, here's an update on the other 3 Boston teams and my beloved Arsenal.
The Bruins are tied for 4th in the Eastern Conference and 3rd in the Northeast Division with the Ottawa Senators. The B's had been hot but a lengthy road trip with the All-Star game mixed in between has hurt them. They scrapped a point from a game in Ottawa with an OT loss and had a similar game Saturday night. Tommorrow they go to Toronto to play the Division leading Maple Leafs. Depending on what the Leafs do tonight, the Bruins might be able to tie them or pass them. That would catapault us from the 5th seed to the 2nd. i also just learned that a Bruins draft pick was the captain of the gold medal winning USA World Juniors championship team. So we got that goin for us.
The Celtics won't be playing until February 25th. Last night was the ever entertaining *sarcasm* NBA all-Star Game. The sole Celtic (Pierce) had a mere 8 points for the losing Eastern Conference. The C's are 8 games below .500, have dropped to 3rd in the Atlantic Division, and are in 8th place a mere 1/2 game ahead of 9th place Philadelphia. They suxk. Danny ainge is a terrible person and should be shot.
The NFL Draft is coming up and the Pats have 4 picks in the first 2 rounds. The overall 21st, 32nd, 57th, and 64th picks belong to the Pats. We need a RB and could use depth at such positions like O-Line, WR, and the defensive secondary. Should be interesting to see what Bellicheck does with these picks. Last year's draft was amazing and we're stacked at alot of positions.
The Arsenal FC are 5 points ahead of Manchester United in the English League, are about to begin the elimination stage of the European Champions' League against the Spanish team Celta Vigo, and have advanced to the 6th round of the FA Cup by beating Chelsea 2-1 on Sunday. Unfortunately we've been eliminated from the much less prestigious Carling Cup. Oh, well. I'll take a 3rd straight FA Cup and two other trophies and call the season a success.
That's it for now. Remember, this Friday is the Holy Day of Reportation.
