• I keep forgetting to ask: Has anyone figured out what Eddie Andelman was spouting about when he attacked Ryen Rusillo? The man has lost his mind, it’s now quite clear, and should not be allowed beyond Lynnfield’s borders. Is he that desperate for listeners that he’ll try and bury his own guy? Sad. Very sad. But predictable – that whole Andelman Clan is about
• Made the mistake of checking the BSM message boards this evening and a quick look back at some old posts would seem to indicate not everyone is a big Scott’s Shots fan. The shock. The horror. The appreciation that these busy folks take a few minutes to read our stuff.
And just to clarify – monkeys throwing feces is both funny and entertaining, so I gotta appreciate the love.
• Tomorrow night at this time, we’ll be getting the Kleenex ready for “One Shining Moment.”
• What further proof do we need of Johnny Damon’s idiocy than this excerpt from the herald excerpt of “Idiot”?: “One time I was propositioned by two girls at once, but I passed. Two girls might be able to handcuff and kill me.”
Yeah, but what a way to go!
• We gave you the NY Post’s predictions to start the evening, so here’s the wannabe tabloid Herald’s picks: All eight writers took the Yankees to win the AL East and the Sox to win the Wild Card. Only Steve Buckley took the Sox to defend, while four took the Yankees to win it all.
• Is this the sport where all the night games go until midnight? I’m starting to remember something about late nights last Fall.
• There was a leftover Factor appearance e-mail we’d been meaning to share. This one really hurt – hitting me in the high school athletics memory bank: “You are one of the most obnoxious, arrogant, pompous, and mean spirited bastards I have ever seen in sports news. Of course, most you sons of bitches are arrogant. All of you are losers and wanted to be a hero in sports and could not make it big even in high school. I am not a big fan of Bonds, but screw you. He is a human and his family is human. I would like to see a private eye go through your past like you imbeciles have Bonds. I (sic) fact, if I had the money, I would do this and publish it for the country to see.
You are a loudmouth scumbag asshole and would screw your 95 year old grandmother on her death bed to down some one in sports. You are a great American, you mouthy bastard. What would be great is that Bonds found you and beat you faggot looking ass to a pulp. Go To Hell. - jmcdowell4
I’m gonna guess this fella wasn’t an English major. But the grandmother thing is even harsh by hillbilly standards. Nice to touch a chord, nonetheless.
