countdown to red sox at angels

just a few more days until the sox stomp some angel ass. i have tickets to friday night's game and plan on pretty much camping out to be one of the first in line. i am hell bent on getting some nice pics and an autograph or two. i am going with my uncle who is a lifelong angels fan so it will be nice to gloat.
i've been watching a couple games a week over at sonny mclean's, where the some of the sox have been known to visit when in town. this weekend though matt damon and ben affleck are taking part in some jimmy fund charity event there at $1500 a head. needless to say, i will not be attending. i may go see bronson play at a guitar shop in hollywood though. i saw him in boston, he's not too bad.
anyone else have tickets to this weekend's series?

somebody give berroa a hug (and manny too)

berroa booted three balls (2 errors officially) and the sox roll on! we're up 4.5 games over the yanks and our immediate schedule is pretty soft. things are looking pretty good at the moment.
did anyone else have flashbacks of the damon/jackson collision today? after renteria and manny smacked into each other, renteria went down and laid on the ground like his shoulder was broken. luckily he was able to shake it off and stay in the game. with manny taking the worst of the impact, he may not be around for a couple games. i wouldn't be angry if he was on the bench for tomorrow's game against kc and possibly into the next series.
the countdown is on to the sox coming to california. i only have tickets to one of the games (friday the 19th's) but there is a good chance i will be able to get into the diamond club thanks to my uncle knowing the stadium's head chef.

anyone have the latest on bellhorn?

k-rocka you're mia! and you're going to owe me some booze since your precious orioles are stinkin' up the place.

gangster manny staying put

i'm really not sure why i let myself fall for this whole manny being traded business, the boston front office is too smart to let him go without a considerable amount in return. now we can go on with the rest of the season without worrying about any trade talk sideshows. who knows, maybe this little scare might even have done some good in bringing the club a little closer. we're already on a 5 game winning streak with kc coming to town. hopefully, we use this upcoming series to put more distance between the us and the yanks (who should have been swept by the angels).
