It's almost enough to make you want the Sox playing again...
Bye week... I hate bye weeks.
Your (three time World Champion) New England Patriots have the week off and the Sox are sitting home watching the playoffs... It was a lost weekend in Boston.
Oh yeah, supposedly hockey is back in town again... Hockey? Pfftttt.... Screw hockey. I hate hockey. Can't follow hockey. Can't understand hockey players (eh?). Can't skate.
(And I mainly put this in about hating hockey to rile up Mossy. He hasn't commented on the blog in like forever. Gotta wake him out of his school induced stupor. See now why I didn't go back to school Moss-man? Would've taken away from precious blog-time... And, well, how cool is it to say: "oh, yeah, I got into Harvard, but I told them to go take a hike..." (you just whisper that part about "cause I didn't have $43,000 for the tuition...")
Anyway, here's a little "Tessie" from the Dropkick Murphys to tide you over until baseball season starts again in six months (and do yourself a favor, let it load-up while you have it paused so you can skip the band introductions, goes a bit long...)
And since we're in a Murphys mood, here's the ever-popular Spicy McHaggis jig for you...
Oh, what the hell. Got the whole crabby Irish thing going full bore (it is, afterall, oh-dark-thirty), so why don't we throw a little House of Pain at'cha...
Oh, and thanks to Google I now know what the hell Everlast is talking about when he says "grab your bozak". Again, we're a family blog around here, so feel free to Google that for yourself, but don't say I didn't warn you.
There, don't say I never gave you nothin'...

Its not always about the quantity....its really the quality of the comments.
Now, as for the hockey thing...you're probably one of the people who just loved FOX's glowing puck. Yeah, you were. Admit it. Maybe the game was too fast for you? I guess if you're used to the slog of the No Fun League ground game or the snooze-fest that takes place out on the ol' diamond, it might be tough to switch gears.
Of course, if Boston had a team which was performing well on the ice you might show some interest.
Maybe we can get Larry to translate hockey for you?
I suppose school is cutting back on my blogging, but such is life. In less than 2 years you can call me "Master".
heh heh heh
(see? aren't you glad I started commenting???)
MD: Hey, you're alive! Glad to see it. I'm guessing a lot of the animus comes from the English transportation of large amounts of protestant Scots to Ulster (Northern Ireland) in the 1600's, but it's not somethinkg I've ever taken note of, outside of Braveheart... But then again, the Irish mercenaries allied with Mel Gibson in that one...
And don't tell an ullian pipes player that they're not a decnet bagpipe.... (If they're so lousy, why are they the pipes used on the Braveheart soundtrack then?)
(Well, because the Highland pipes aren't meant for indoors. Or to play music... Or to be anything other than a rough approximation of what a man trying to suck face with an unwilling octopus may look like...
Moss: I never, never watched Fox's coverage of the NHL. I've never watched any hockey. (Well, I did watch Strange Brew, but something tells me that's not exactly regulation hockey...)
And as to the No Fun League... Well, if a little decorum is enforced so that players don't turn into the preening, mee-first idiots that are destroying the NBA, then so be it.
