Oh baby! It’s Thursday, and it is the start of the football season with the Redskins at the Giants. We will start with the Giants and see what they have to offer. Ok I am not a fan of the Giants, but they are defending champs. They are 4 point favorites at home, but they were terrible at the Meadowlands last year. They went 3-5 at home and went 7-1 on the road last year. They have the same offense, Plexiglass, Toomer, Jacobs and Kevn Boss with Eli at Qb. But Eli has been so inconsistent over the years, it remains to be seen if he can put a complete season together, without throwing 20 picks. They have a good tandem at running back with Bradshaw being the slasher and Jacobs being the Power. Plexiglass should be healthy and that will help Eli out, but Toomer is aging and Steve Smith has not shown much.
The defense was the strength of the team before Osi was injured and out for the year and Strahan staying retired. That is 22.5 sacks gone from that unbelievable pass rush last year. They have Tuck and Kiwanuka taking there place on the line. There secondary is still weak and I am not sold on them. They are a veteran team and should go 9-7 and maybe 10-6.
Mark Kotsay has recently cleared waivers and could be a nice fit for the RED SOX. He has had a comeback this year with the Braves. Kotsay would add some nice insurance off the bench in case Drew’s injury is worse than expected. He has good speed and can play all outfield postions, and hits righties well. Remeber the Sox tried to land Giles from the Padres so they are looking for more depth, Kotsay is cheap around 4 mil and he has playoff experience with the A’s. Also he is cheaper than the 17 million owed to Sheffield over the next 2 years. It is just a thought but the Sox have been going through a tough injury stretch now. We have Lowell, Drew, Casey and probably Beckett gong to the DL, so we can use some more bench depth.
From Page six, Joba and Giambi were playing beer pong and got beat like a rented mule. The Yankee’s are on the verge of missing the playoffs for the first time in 13 years, they recently called up Carl Pavano who actually pitched 5 innings and got a win for the first time in 3 years. Anyway the Yankees are having trouble winning games this year, and two of the members lost to some kids playing beer pong. The only thing Giambi is winning this year is The Porn Stache of the year. With the picture above looks like Joba may have found his next job if his shoulder gets worse. He will be throwing bagels instead of fastballs at Youks head. Just some more fuel for Sox fans to bash on the Yanks.
The Olympics are in China this summer and leave to the Chinese to come up with a gender test. Yes, the Chinese have devised a gender test to determine if a she is a she and not a he. There plan is to find women that look more like men and do a battery of tests to make sure they are women. What are they gonna do have agents grope them to make sure they don’t have any twig and berries. Half these chicks have so many chemicals in there system that there clit is so enlarged its bigger than Cronielius’ prick (no homo). This has to be one of the craziest things i have ever heard of, not only are they gonna check the heyninanu they are also doing blood tests and some other shit. The messed up thing is it works too, in the trials some player on the India long distance team actually failed the gender test and is out of the Olympics, in this case she was a he.
Manny is being Manny again about his contract and got John Henry pissed… looks like Manny might not be Red Sox after this year if this keeps up. Also he was fined 6 figures for pushing the Sox traveling secretary for not getting enough tickets for him in the Houston series.
Big Papi went 1-4 with a home run and a walk in his first rehab assignment game with the Pawsox. He felt no pain and is excited to rejoin the team on the 24th for the Yankee series.
The Red Sox also signed first round draft pick Casey Kelly who was recruited by Tennessee to play Quarterback. He was a shortstop and pitcher in college but the Sox prefer him as a pitcher, he will be in the Gulf Coast League next week.
