| Okay folks the seating capacity of Tropicana Field is 43,772 people. I figure for this series 30,000 of them will be Rays fans. (Just a rough estimate)
Of those 30,000, 28,000 will probably have cowbells.
Now here is my Mathematical question. How much Vaseline does Red Sox Nation have to provide in order to keep 28,000 Rays fans from clanking as they walk before they can get...

SOMETHING OFF TOPIC

| A little while ago for the second straight year, the Mets completely tanked a post season run. It's no secret that I loathe the Mets almost as much as I loathe the Yankees.
So here is my tribute to the 2008 Mets!!

| Alas this is the first time in a long time that the Yankees haven't made the playoffs. I guess 220 + million $ just doesn't get ya what it used to. The following is a little artical from the NY Post. Hank I feel your pain. This song is dedicated to Hank Steinbrenner. Hank, RSN cares, we really do.

PROPOSITION

| I know this is more of an NHL thing but maybe we could try it here. I'm suggesting that we grow Playoff Beards in support of the Sox.
And I know the females here are dieharder fans as well, perhaps the female fans could grow Playoff Pitt Hairs.
This may sound a bit out there but it's better than gettting mohawks or shaving our heads.

The following is our record and standings on September 17th from 2003-2008. If you'll notice the numbers are not that far off from where we are now. 2006 is the exception of course.
In five of those six seasons we won at least 95 games. In five of those six seasons we went to the playoffs. In three of those six seasons we went to the ALCS. In two of those six seasons we won the...

So I just need a different birthday. Yesterday won't work because for one it was Margie's (Punk) birthday (she shouldn't have to share a birthday with the likes of me) and it was also an ex-girlfriend's birthday.

I am kind of confused about one thing though. Last night James Farrior got penalized for taunting. Never did quite understand the taunting penalty. Have we, as a society, fallen so far into political correctness that three...

| Dear Mr. Boras,
I admit that anything causing turmoil to the Yankees and their minions should make me happy. But alas, it doesn't.
I realize that your client, Mr. Rodriguez's decision to opt out of his contract with the Yankees is important news. However leaking out the information so it would be reported in the latter innings of a World Series game left a bit to be desired. I found...
