C.C. is a monster/ Joba get's his first start today



CC throws 7 and 2/3 scoreless innings. i love this guy, especially the fact that he has to be pulled from the game kicking and screaming. he'd pitch evryday if you let him. now if someone could get him to stop tugging on his pant cuff after evry pitch i would be happy, certain players have nervous ticks that once i notice them i can't stop watching them, and it drives me up the fucking wall. anyways, my boy Swisher went 2 for 3, with a triple and a two run homerun, chugging down red bulls between innings and refusing to be a back up player, you've got to love that. he'll probably be one of those "hey, do you remember that guy in april who was great for a week?" kind of stories, but we'll take any offense we can get- ransom and gardner are instant death at the end of the lineup... Joba goes today, personally i hope he is awful, he belongs in the pen preparing for Mariano's job in two years. a sweep of Kansas City is my easter sunday prediction........ in other news: tomorrow is opening day at PNC Park for the Pittsburgh Pirates, and yes- hostages get in free.

*** a bit of an afternoon letdown, i'd blame it on the Easter candy, but i haven't had any Easter candy. the yanks lose it in the Kansas City rain while tiger and mickelson make it interesting, but not interesting enough, at the masters. fuck- at least they got that guy off that fucking boat.

Well sox and angels: mid first inning of fridays game honoring adenhart and NESN plays hendrix' "crosstown traffic" before the commercial break. Yikes, bad choice. Meanwhile the angels look exactly like they did last year. A better choice than the stock market would be the angels to win that division.

Masters: there is nothing more glorious in HD than tiger and company in augusta. Turns out it was a day for angels as angel cabrera wins it all in dramatic fashion. The tiger and phil pairing was a hundred times more interesting however.

i am really disgusted in myself for knowing what is happening in golf, not just today but for a couple of years now. does nesn usually play hendrix in between innings? that is horrible, but somehow hilarious at the same time. i thought it was tasteless that as the story broke about this kids death espn kept reminding evrybody of his stats the night before.

We kill pirates and we fucking love it. We kill rallies with 9 irons and poor drives. Oh, the Easter Ham. Terrible Celtics basketball, that's it. LeBron my get his ring this year. Baseball: Is Christopher Lloyd available?
