Mike Lowell smoked a cigar. He must truly be a bad person. I mean, people who smoke are just the lowest form of life on the planet... I'm sure his testicular cancer was a direct result of him puffing down all those cigars. If only he knew the dangers of smoking! If he was smoking in the clubhouse, that would be in violation of Massachusetts' smoking ban, not to mention the ground rules at Fenway Park. Somebody should do something! Stop the madness! Give me a break. Wow! Mike Lowell smoked a cigar. He must truly be a bad person. I mean, people who smoke are just the lowest form of life on the planet…

As a long time reader, I'm thinking that most of you venom is toward how the media handled it, which, as a consumer of the news, I disagree. I don't find that argue-worthy. In terms of the booze and cigars in front of kids, I gotta disagree. What world do you think these kids are going to grow up in? One where people don't celebrate with booze or cigars? If you can't talk to your kids about this stuff it's not the fault of some baseball players if your children end up in rehab or with lung cancer. My girls saw the whole celebration and I don't think they are any closer to addiction to anything but the Sox. Take care, Soog Hey Shotzie,

God forbid professional ballplayers, at the end of a grueling, high-pressure six months, should celebrate their achievement and act a little silly. It's a serious world, dammit. Be serious!

I love Dylan too…
You blog from your soap box
With your pencil in your hand
You see somebody naked
And you say, “Who is that man?”
You try so hard
But you don’t understand
Just what you’ll say
Ever..

I've sent Scott an email or two about his embarassingly negative attitude about everything. This read was my last for this website. Honestly, all you do is attack people personally. Bash, bash, bash...that's all you do. Seriously…I’ve had it. I’ve sent Scott an email or two about his embarassingly negative attitude about everything.

Kathryn Tappen's first question to Coco Crisp. Great question. Good thing she kept her head amid all the celebration. What garbage this piece was. They were men enjoying what will be one of the greatest moments in their lives. And God forbid some of the people around them get drawn in. You got over inflated impression of your writing ability and toned down that overly verbose crap you used to spin, but now that everyone can understand what you are trying to say they realize you don't have much to say. “I mean, how celebratory is this whole . . . scenario?”

Too bad you chose the "won't anybody think of the children!?" angle. Yes, I'm sure in ten years' time we'll all be suffering the scourge of crime committed by all those kids so cruelly subjected to seeing adults drink champagne and smoke cigars. While you're at it, now might be a good time to start your campaign to keep kids from seeing their parents celebrate New Year's Day. Honestly, I know you've got to uphold your rep as the local contrarian, but this rant is lame. Well, I guess you had to take some angle on the celebration.

The 2003 wild card celebration was humiliating. This was just fun. It's the first time they've accomplished this since 1995, let them blow off steam for an hour. Maybe you should've blogged live from atop your soap box. What’s your problem? The 2003 wild card celebration was humiliating. This was just fun.
