Sunday sports preview...

Boston Red Sox

Glenn, Scioscia may be Carbon Monoxide, but we are all playing in a well ventilated area.

Manny in the 9th on Friday. Not just a walk off - not just an over The Monster walk off - but an out of Freakin' Fenway on to Yawkey Way and probably in to a bar across the street walk off.

I'm sure Glenny an Laurie are both questioning whether he actually touched home plate. And isn't there some rule about intentionally taking off your batting helmet? But that's little league you guys.

And I am really looking forward to lunch tomorrow and watching the Sox finish it off. My shirt is getting a little dirty, but I ain't washing it.

And, of course, Pap did his job.

Glenn, I gotta admit, I am a little bummed out that the Yankees are going down so hard and so fast. Maybe they can work a little magic at home. I was really hoping to be able to work out that bet with you.

And to top it all off - The Raiders simply can't lose this weekend.

So much for a Cubs/BoSox World Series, but I'll lend my obviously inconsequential support to your team.
