It Mikes Fault !!!
I'm a big believer in Karma and last night we had a little party around watching the baseball game, unfortunately, Mike, was a little negative about some of the Red Sox players and I believe his negativity transferred on to the players....
It could be both.
Mr Negativity himself..
we call him Mike
It's either Criminal or I have gone completely bonkers.
It could be both.
Mr Negativity himself..
we call him Mike
I've called the Karma Police and hopefully he will be taken in and have his Chakras aligned...It's playoff time and there's no room for Negativity.

Sexiest Fan Alive
With regard to my last post about all the spitting and scratching in Baseball, one of my commentors, Avery Gray, said:
"Most people who watch baseball are of the male persuasion, and since men are generally not offended by such behavior, I don't think it will be changing anytime soon. "
Tomorrow October 12, 2007 the voting begins for MLB's Sexiest Fan, will it be a man, a woman or will there be one of each??
Major League Baseball and People Magazine are sponsoring this and I think it is MLB who is trying to expand it's fan base and attract more women to the games and the sport.
In my reply to Avery's comment, I took some information from and article reprinted from the Boston Globe Magazine here at boston.com, which stated that :

In my reply to Avery's comment, I took some information from and article reprinted from the Boston Globe Magazine here at boston.com, which stated that :
"Sports teams are particularly interested in women fans because they shop. Sales of Patriots merchandise targeted at females -- everything from tank tops to ``ladies hand-off thong" underwear plastered with the team's logo -- have quadrupled over the past several years, and now bring in about $3 million annually."
So I realize that many of my recent posts have been sports related, but hey...The Red Sox are in the playoffs!! While looking for sexy fans will MLB start asking their players to clean up there manners and stop the spitting ??
I doubt it.....Avery is probably right...be sure to vote for your sexiest fan, if Avery is right, it should be a Woman, since mostly men are watching the game they will have most of the votes!

Red Sox , China's Solution, spitting and other fithy habits
The Boston Red Sox swept the California Angels 3 games to 0......Yes, Manny Ramirez was a big part of it, but our pitching has been great too..Now Red Sox fans will wait for Cleveland to finish off the Yankees and start playing the American League Championship Series this Friday.
The game over the weekend when the bugs attacked the Yankees was awesome
Also, not that I want you all to think I am a sports fanatic...it was great to see the New England Patriots beat the Cleveland Browns football team....

NY Times Story: No Spitting On the Road to the Olympic Glory
You can follow the link for the whole story but to summarize, I guess spitting is a fairly common thing in China and many officials there are trying to put an end to public spitting so as not to look uncivilized to the many foreign visitors they expect being the hosts to the 2008 Summer Olympics.
from the article...
" ..some Communist Party officials have publicly fretted that Beijing may not measure up. One delegate at the country’s annual political meetings in March recommended heavy fines and a public education campaign to curb spitting, cutting ahead in line, smoking and foul language."
“Public awareness of manners needs to be improved,” said Wang Tao, the soft-spoken, exceedingly polite civil servant who has become a local celebrity for his efforts to curb public spitting.
"Beijing had already announced that people caught spitting in public before the Olympics could face fines up to 50 yuan, or about $6.50, hardly small change in China. Mr. Wang, the anti-spitting activist, said the Olympic spirit inspired him to begin his campaign. “I felt I must do something to contribute,” he said."
No more article excerpts...
I like the initiative, public spitting is a filthy habit. But I believe Baseball is part of the Summer Olympics....Every time I watch a baseball game I see many of the players spitting regularly all over the place. It seems every time they come in close on a player in the batters box or on base, he spits something or scratches his balls..
BBCnews ring
What's up with that?
What will the Chinese do about it?
I have to tell you $6.50 may be a lot in China but the Red Sox signed rookie pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka to a contract for over $50 Million Dollars, he could spit every day all day for a long long time before it really started to cause him any problems.
It is a disgusting habit, I don't enjoy watching these guys spit and wonder why baseball hasn't tried to set a better example to others, especially young kids who look up to players as role models.
And what about the ball scratching?...Will the Chinese take that issue on as well?
Which one bothers you more public spitting or ball scratching??

Manny, Manny, MANNY
Manny Ramirez
Everyone has their favorites, some like Varitek others Papelbon but I think Manny Ramirez is MONEY...Tonight, or should I say early Saturday morning, he proved it by hitting a ball out of Fenway Park and over everything ...Just Manny being Manny he raised his arms in the air and watched the ball leave the park.
Red Sox take two from the Angels, and the Yankees lost again...Life is almost perfect......

Go SOX
The Boston Red Sox vs The Angels
The game will be played in Historic Fenway Park...Here are some pictures my friend Jim took when we were attending a game this year in Boston
Our Seats
That's Wally the Green Monster
Our View of the Game...
I snapped the one below of Fenway Park from the top of the Prudential Building..A.K.A. "The Top Of The Hub"
The Hub is how some citizens of Boston refer to their fair city. The roots of the term Hub started with Oliver Wendell Holmes. He coined the term Hub when he wrote in Autocrat of the Breakfast Table
that the ...
"Boston State-House is the hub of the solar system."
In 1868, Rev. Foster B Zinke in his book Last Winter In The United States wrote,
" Massachusetts has been the wheel within New England, and Boston the wheel within Massachusetts. Boston therefore is often called the "hub of the world," since it has been the source and fountain of the ideas that have reared and made America."
Some people outside of Boston think we are a little "Self Centered" Actually we are just a little ahead of everyone else, however; we are friendly and we welcome The California Angels to Fenway Park tonight.
Somehow I think they will remember Boston, not as the Hub, but as a little taste of Hell as the Red Sox rip them apart!!
GO Sox

Monday, Monday
Tonight it's all about the New England Patriots playing the Cincinnati Bengals if you are a football fan that is.
Yesterday was all about Mom, She turned 78, but she looks 29.....Of course this kind of schmooze has kept me her favorite. Being the youngest of 4, I have three OLDER sisters, it's obvious to me that mom and dad tried once, twice, 3 times and then when most might have given up...gave it one more try and TA DA!! Perfection...I was born.
Thanks guys!!
On to other topics, The Boston Red Sox managed to finish the season with the Best record in Baseball...A local radio show asked the question...If you had to pick One, A) The Red Sox Win The World Series or B) The Patriots win the Super Bowl what would you pick??
I'd pick B, The Pats and hope for a Great year from The Celtics and their new lineup...Maybe the Sox will win anyway, really it's only because I'm forced to pick ONE...I personally think us New Englanders have the Best sports has to offer.....Bring it ON!
I'm also hoping the Jets lose ALL their remaining games...they are CRAP...Their fans too!!
They can't even decide if they want to be from New York or New Jersey, They play on another teams field...They should move to Nevada or North Dakota..they haven't got a football team.
