Black Sunday
We’re in October of 2009. The decade is rapidly coming to an end. And unfortunatly so is our decade of dominance. I mean there is no other way to look at it after the tragic events of yesterday. I mean a day like this would have been unheard of a couple years ago. Tom Brady getting outplayed by Kyle Orten? Papelbon giving up 5 runs while only getting 2 batters out and blowing the season? (I don’t count the guy he picked off as him getting an out) Bottomline is we haven’t won anything since the Celtics two years ago. Sure our teams our still competitive but it’s no longer a forgone conclusion that we’ll be having a parade at some point during the year. In other words we’ve just become like everybody else. Mortal. But in typical Boston fashion we ended the greatest run any city has every seen in the history of sports with a day so horrific that it was almost awe inspiring in a weird kind of way. Like watching a tornado tear through a small town or something. And in the end I’m not sure whether I should go into Cabo and party like crazy and remember the good times or just sit in my hotel room and cry.
I’d say ‘sit in your hotel room and cry.’
Your wife shouldn’t be the only one doing it.
No big deal. Baseball is bs without a salary cap. Call me when they fix it. The spankees will win. So what. Over $200 million in team salary, they should win AT LEAST 3 out of 5 years. I love watching yankmee fans celebrate, it’s such a joke. Pats dominant run is over but anyone who remembers the old days (uh, throwback uniforms can stop anytime now)-knows this isn’t bad. The only bad part will be the crew of shitty fans at the razor getting even more silent.
What is needed on a shitty Monday like this is this: wake-up, wake-up, wake-up, etc

Go to Shots Bar in Cabo. $5 total for a shot of tequila and a beer. It’s a little hole in the wall place to avoid the overpriced and overhyped Cabo Wabo.
Here we go.. dont the Red Sox have the 3rd highest payroll?? Whenever the Red Sox lose the same shitty points start to come out.. Let em’ fly
Payroll arguments from the 4th highest payroll team this year (and usually closer to 2nd or 3rd) is about as valid as the same idiots bringing up Steroids now. Fuck you Buddy.

Oh man…. that’s some funny shit.
Red Sox are 4th highest in payroll but, still behind the Yanks by more than $88.7 million
Whaaaaaa the Yankees payroll is to hiiiigh. They shouldn’t be allowed to spend that much whaaaaaa. They shouldn’t be able to take all the money they get from being in such a large market with such a huge fan base and spend it whaaaaaaa.
Way to show up to the series you were all so confident that you were going to cruise through you fucking pricks. The rally monkey owned your fucking ass.
wtf is your point Heidi? It’s not against the rules to spend. And to be honest all those “Small market teams” depend on the revenue from revenue sharing for it. It’s not the Yankees fault that Dr. Creepy and company choose not to spend when they have the opportunity to better their team.
I didn’t take buddy’s comments to mean that he was criticizing the Yankees per-se, but more talking about how much of a joke baseball is to begin with (which it is).
Guaranteed contracts regardless of performance (or even playing, see: Schilling, Curt), and 80% of teams are completely and totally written off in the beginning of the year.
Whats up EP, your guys striking?
We spend money on Smoltz, Penny, Lugo, V-Tek, and Rocco. Not exactly murderers row.
Nobody really calls Gillete the “razor”. Maybe I am wrong, but I only hear this from the guys on TV.
Payroll savings are no consolation. Dr. Creepy could have afforded Texeira. Maybe Pizzuti did not like him.
Any time you have one team sign the biggest off season bat and 2 best pitchers on the market the league is pretty fucked. There is no arguing that. When the disparity from one pay roll to another is $165 million how can you expect teams to compete? Hell, half of them pass over top prospects knowing they can’t even afford to ink them with Scott Boras as their agent.
Agreed Sox can’t cry about payroll….. but why is everyone assuming the Yankees will win the WS? It’s the same shit they pull every year. Sabathia’s great, other than that… honestly, would you bet even $10 on Burnett winning a big game? He’s as likely to give up 8 runs in 2 2/3 as he is to pitch a shuout. Does Pettite scare you? Hand Joba’s a joke. ARod will revert to being October ARod.
I’m not saying it’s against the rules to spend, nor am I crying about this. I just pointed out that when you’re nearly 89 millon over the next closest AL team you sure as shit better win it all.
The Yankees are really a kind of welfare project. Their new stadium bilked New York taxpayers to the tune of 1.5 Billion dollars, and all those new luxury boxes are filled by the Too Big To Fail financial institutions that the US government is propping up. Bonuses courtesy of us taxpayers support the high ticket prices. So they have no problem spending a quarter billion dollars on new pitching alone during a megarecession. So really, we should all cheer the Yankees – we’re paying for them.
What’s the Angels payroll in relation to the Sox?
You sure as shit should of won that, right?
The MLB sucks. I’m taking consolation in that.

The day was sad, I drank to it. Maybe if I drink enough Tom Brady will wake the fuck up.
So this blog goes and jerks off how the Sox own the Angels
http://boston.barstoolsports.com/random-thoughts/the-angles-are-pathetic/
and how there is nothing to worry about with Papelbon (i’m sure someone can find that link too), and both things come back to bite you in the ass.
El pres got lit up on Deadspin today: “Let’s check in with el presidente at Barstool Sports, who is either 12 years old, or joking, or a complete fuckhead. OR all three!” He then posts el pres’ entire entry and ends with “I have an idea. Why don’t you go fuck yourself with a corkscrew instead? Because no one else gives a flying fuck about your bad day. Haven’t won anything since the Celtics two years ago? Eat a cock and die.”

hahaha great comebacks for finishing 8 games back and getting swept first round i would expect no less than payroll of the yankees haha – goes right to defending yourself against yankee fans and we didn’t even beat you!!
you don’t have to tell us your team wasn’t good enough…
you lost to a team with less payroll – as we all know just because you get paid more to do something doesn’t mean you are better at it
yankees and angels simply have better ballplayers…the athletes are simply better and that equals winning
im content that the Boss spends to win rather than puttin it in his pocket like DR Creepy (pro spends it on his hot wife)
Mr Pickett you can say what you want i bet you would also tell us we should be scared of lester and beckett or pap is shutdown at the end…or watch out for big sloppys clutch hit
hahahahahah….
sweep vs swept..which would you choose?
haha holy shit. Even as a Boston sports fan, I agree with the article. The crying by the fans is retarded. Bunch of bitches, seriously.
It’s no wonder I get made fun of when I talk to people out of the New England area for being a Sox fan.
Getting eliminated in 2003 by the Yankees was by far the worst sports day of my life. However, being a rational human, 2004 and then 2007 made it ok to be eliminated from playoffs again.
I mean seriously, with the way the season was going, was there anyone out there who really thought we had a shot?
- Beckett sucked down the stretch
- The lineup was ice cold for far too many stretches during the season.
- The “Captain” of the team is a walking corpse who was going to ride the bench all postseason.
- The Sox beat the Yankees ONCE in the second half
- They went 2-8 towards the end of the season to lifelessly backdoor into the playoffs
- They won the final 4 games against a 65 win team, but needed to score a lot of runs to do so in the final 2 games.
Honestly, the Sox are lucky the Rangers also sucked down the stretch, othewise they would have been hanging with the Tigers watching the games on TV. This was not the year for the Sox, and only retarded Sox fans believe it was, and they’re the ones shocked and crying about yesterday. Bitches.
About the Patriots, I’m definitely not going to cry about losing a fucking REGULAR season game when we’re only a handful of games into the season. Holy shit.
awww its almost sad to see boston fans realizing that they havn’t won anything in the last 2 years and that there isn’t anything to look forward to. No one has enjoyed a run like Boston has had? well Pittsburgh’s run is looking pretty impressive with their 2 recent superbowls and their stanley cup, and both the teams are only getting better.
I still don’t see how the patriots could have screwed up so badly… Good thing they have plenty of draft picks in the upcoming years, they are going to need them.
