Around The Horn

Sox just lost to the Jays, 6-4, as Hideki Okajima gave up a two-run shot to Vernon Wells in the 8th inning. The Yankees dope-slapped the Mariners so the lead is down to 6 games. I have no freakin' clue what the "magic number" is now since I have math phobia and trying to figure it out makes me break out in hives. Somebody help me (and pass the Benadryl).

There's a really annoying commercial on for McDonald's. I may have to boycott them just to protest.

Joba Chamberlain carries a pink backpack out to the Yankees bullpen. No, this is not one of those vicious Internet rumors - saw it with my own four eyes. It's hard to type & snicker at the same time.

My beloved Boston College Eagles cracked the football polls! Congrats to QB Matt Ryan and CB DeJuan Tribble for being named ACC Players of the Week.

The Pats keep making the news - rumor is that Richard Seymour is lost for the season although the typically tight-lipped Pats have yet to confirm that. I'm still taking in the whole Rodney Harrison fiasco. Really don't have much to say other than I am bitterly disappointed in him. I'd like to give him credit for not only making a public statement but admitting to what he did; after all, this is more than what most have done. However, the fact is that he chose to knowingly break the rules and cheat. Now I have an inkling of what San Francisco Giants fans might feel about Barry Bonds. I don't like the feeling.

Big Baby is in the house! The Celtics signed draft pick Glen Davis and also veteran forward James Posey in the past week. The season looks more promising by the day...

And the Bruins began Pre-preason warmup. I'm not sure what "pre-preseason" means other than an attempt to get some face time in the news because they've certainly done nothing in the offseason to warrant attention.

I don't follow soccer (what the hell does "Bend It Like Beckham" mean anyway?) so look elsewhere for Revolution news. Like, follow the link.
