“Boston is not exactly the late-night excitement capital of America.”
Understatement of the year.
Pete,
Go right up to the door of the gate. Sit down in front of the door, and get some sleep. That way someone will wake you up. You know, so they can let people board the plane.
Nick in SF,

Sorry, I couldn’t rant without invoking CC. Notice, though, that I never once call CC ‘gutless’.
I can’t believe the streets are quiet. You’d think there’d be crazy Sox fans flipping cars over, looting, and setting the township on fire.
m, I responded on the previous thread, but here it is again (sorry for the slow reply, but poker prevented me from lingering here too long):
“My point is, if they’re a Yankee support them. Don’t call them gutless or losers or trash just because they didn’t win the game. Wahhhhh. Poor Yankee baby fans didn’t get their win. Wahhhhhh. Put the binky in your mouth and shut up.”
m, nerves have been touched!
You don’t need to apologize to me for anything you say about CC, he and I aren’t that close. And he hasn’t pulled his load – yet, I hope. I trust he will, but his results thus far haven’t shocked me.
I don’t think CC has gotten any pass, plenty of people have ripped him on this board. But CC wasn’t the one pitching against out hated foe with a 6-run lead the day after a tough loss. And CC isn’t the one who came advertised as the AL East/Boston killer; that’s AJ. That doesn’t make some of the criticism of AJ completely fair, but that’s the territory here. AJ will have plenty more chances to earn the respect we both think and hope he’ll deserve.
If you were down in Tampa at least you could stop by a Waffle House….
Sabathia got plenty of verbal vomit thrown at him last week against Oakland when he couldn’t hold the lead twice at the Stadium.
The biggest differences though is that the Yanks eventually won that game and yesterday’s debacle by Burnett was against the Red Sox.
People go haywire even more than usual when those sins come against their most hated rival.
RustyJohn, I stopped into a Waffle House in Mississippi a few years back and I ordered a milk shake. The counterguy said in the most forlorn way “I wish we had the capability to make mike shakes…” and I think he really meant it.
The fallacy that Sabathia is always a slow starter is ridiculous. If you go back and look at his year by year by game numbers, he’s had maybe 6 bad April games. He’s had Aprils with 4 wins and years where his team got 6 wins in his starts, and Aprils with 0 wins with games of allowing 0-2 runs. He’s also had some ugly games like this year’s but, not many. When they were ugly, they were really ugly. when the calendar turns to May, he gets hot.
Nick,
I probably did hit a nerve, you and CC seem to be joined at the hip(s).
Also get ready for worse months because July is historically his worst month.
A) Sunday night
B) Sorry the Hooter’s was closed, and there was no Dave & Buster’s to go to
C) You knowing “late-night excitement” is to CC knowing what what anything below his belly looks like
D) Everyone was lying when you asked what there is to do tonight in fear you might show up
E) You dashed on your last late-night Chinatown “transaction,” so that rules out a return visit tonight
CC stopped returning my texts when the Mad Prince in Pinstripes tipped him off that I’d been using too much hefty humor.
Wang is the starter I root for the most on a human level, then probably Joba and Andy/CC/AJ right behind. But really, on game day, it doesn’t matter. I want to see all five of them finish with 15+ wins.
pete, just make sure you don’t read the ridiculous arguments left by your regulars. because that will put you to sleep and make you want to kill yourself.
What I learned from the blog today. Everyone sucks when you lose.
Ya Beantown is dead after Midnight not sure what you could blog, is there any others pulling all nighters at the airport?
Another exciting chapter in the Life of a Beat Writer
Sorry Pete!
Nick,
If and when Hughes actually arrives, I will be at a crossroads.
I think he’s the one I most want to succeed.
Wang’s been the guy for a while, and I feel for him. Comeback player of the year?
I want CC to do well, because we need him to do well (and well because we’re paying for it)
I want AJ to succeed because he’s the most maligned, and he’s the X factor IMO.
Andy? I love him.
Joba? Doesn’t excite me. Does that make me a bad person? I do wish him success in whichever role he settles into.
Well, good luck with some Zzzzzz’s Pete. Hopefully, this roadtrip rights the ship. Hughes just might be the shot in the arm the team needs.
Boston is not Vegas, lol!
Wang was 8-2 before going down last year…hardly qualifies him for comeback player of the year. That’s usually reserved for the guys with crappy seasons. Joba? He is still a kid but always says the right things in interviews. Mature beyond his years in what he says…lets just hope his actions catch up to that.
I don’t understand how when he puts everything into it, he throws 100 mph and has great control. When he tries to be more fluid, he misses too many spots.
When asked about Wang, C.C. said he hasn’t seen him since about 5th grade.
Nick in SF-
I don’t doubt it. Waffle House seems to be trapped in the 1950s technology wise- I enjoyed the place for their helpful illustrations on the menu, the fact that half the employees seem to be on work release, and their 24 hour service. Living in the NW, I no longer have the pleasure of eating at one (or a Chick fil ‘A), last time I was at one with my friend, my friend refused to leave the waitress a dollar tip because she never gave him a refill on his sweet tea. They take their sweet tea seriously down south.
