Bring It On!

I fucking heart Curt Schilling. "I'm not sure I can think of any scenario more enjoyable than making 55,000 people from New York shut up." It is fucking on tonight bitches! That's almost as good as his quote from 2001 when his Dbacks were getting ready to take on the Evil Empire. Back then he said the Diamondbacks weren't intimidated by the Yankees because "mystique and aura, those are dancers in a nightclub, those are not things we concern ourselves with on the ball field."

This series will have it all. Memories of last year. Mariano Rivera's deaths in the family. Stupid T shirts by MLB. Can't wait for 8:17 PM. I think the Sox take this game in a close one. Mike Mussina will give his usual performance, pitching a great game except for 2 or 3 at bats when he'll leave a meatball in someone's wheelhouse and that will lose the game for him. But then again, I was screaming for Francona to pinch run for Big Papi in the 8th inning of Game 3 last Friday, so what the hell do I know?

Just as exciting (if not moreso for me personally), The Celtics open the preseason against the baby Bulls. Jiri Havliczech's wrist is A-OK. The C's are much improved from last year, but guess who Danny Ainge's biggest off season signing was? Curt Schilling.

Stick a fork in the Panthers. DeShaun Foster is out 6 to 10 weeks with a broken collarbone. Crazy thing is, they still could have beaten the Broncos. That was a game they would have won last year. Of course, they had a healthy squad last year.

Gothamist interviews Ted Leo. Nice job ladies.

Anyone else see the Largehearted Boy plug in Q Magazine?

Is a new iPod on the way? I was gonna buy a new one later in the month, but maybe now I will wait. Then again, not sure how many photos I'll be looking at on a 2 x 2 screen. I'd rather save my battery for the music. PS - The iPod has 82 percent of the MP3 player market.

Still swamped at work. I'll try and get some more stuff up later today.

How was everyone's weekend? I spent mine driving back and forth from DC to NC, but now I have winter clothes, some of my CD's and my snowboard! Just in time too, it was in the low 40's this morning at the bus stop.
