DAILY DOSE: "I'll Never Be Free-- You'll Always Be a Part of Me"
First and foremost, I must direct each and every one of you to the
GREATEST LINK OF ALL TIMES.
Seriously, if you don't go read this, you're doing yourselves the greatest of disservices. This may just be the single greatest column ever written in the history of humankind.
Okay, now to the Dose. Today's Song of the Day (more accurately, Song of the Last Three Days) is "Always Something There to Remind Me" by Naked Eyes. A few tidbits about how this became the song of the day: 1) Heard it Tuesday morning at Pamela's in Oakland, and hit such the perfect cord for me and this week that it beat out "Do You Believe in Love" by Huey & Co., which I also heard that morning. That means somethin.' 2) I couldn't find ANYONE who knew who actually sang the song. I was pretty sure that my gut instinct, "Ah Ha" was wrong, but no one knew who really sang it. 3) I called my resident music expert, Gavin, to ask him, but he didn't return my message, claiming that I was "just being lazy" and should've looked it up online. 4) I looked it up online, via my cell phone. Sprint rules. Occassionally.
Perhaps this is the most pointless Dose EVER. But really, following the full-blown, all-out incredibleness that is THE LINK OF THE CENTURY, I can't really follow it up.
Also, I'm currently considering breaking the proverbial fourth wall, and getting sappy/introspective again. Hesitiation is in abundance, however. So all-in-all, I don't got much to say.
Oh, yeah. Pirates suck.

I actually agree with a lot of what was posted. However, Fever Pitch was in the works well before the Sox won 8 post-season games in a row (making history on multiple fronts). The last few (Jays/O's in first place, what about them) statements are weak. Look back...those teams have been in first for the first couple of weeks, but look what (almost) ALWAYS happens...nobody cares, that's why no one brings it up.
**Johnny Damon is a fool** No need to go indepth. A lot of the things listed aren't directly afflilated with the Sox, but even living here we are getting sick of all the hype -- seriously.
Go Sox. I'll be there on monday when they play the Jays...if the Jays are still in first I'll write an entry about it, so that they get some acknowledgment for their brillant playing. I'm so pissed that the Sox aren't in first place...riiiiiiiight.

1. The Ted Williams/Barry Bonds comparison is bullshit for the obvious reason. Unless Wheaties was the 1940s version of The Cream, there's NO comparison. None. (Example: Do you really see Bonds joining the armed forces and going over to fight the Iraqi insurgents? Ha!)
2. When did we forgive Bill Buckner?
3. The bandwagon fans? When you have the smallest-capacity stadium in the league, it follows that there are less people who can attend... Weak stat.
4a. I completely agree with the Wade Boggs chicken thing. I was only 8 i think when that started, and i had nightmares.
4b. I too hate David Wells. And that was before he gave up 83526 hits in the first 3 innings in the season opener.
Anyway, i haven't run into any Sox fans that are saying calling for a repeat this year. We're content, we're happy. We know the Sox will probably spend the season in 3rd place until the end of August, and we know if they make it to the playoffs, they probably won't have the same luck as last year. Last year was spectacular for all the right reasons and we're HAPPY. If we do make it to the playoffs, and we do play the Yankees, yeah, we're going to go crazy again, because that's what you do when your team is in the playoffs. Anyway. I hate law school.

For the record:
The fan never touched Sheff. He's a pussy. Fan interference is a totally different matter...he was taking out his aggression on a fan, b/c the Sox scored 3 runs in the bottom of the 8th. He thought about Ron Artest and "didn't react." Please. He reacted by shoving the fan. Look at the video...the fans hand was a foot and a half past Sheff's face before he got to the ball. Add that to the 26 reasons to hate the Yankees. Steriods weren't enough, now we have to hear about Sheffield over reacting and "player safety" for the next month. It's too bad the fan wasn't from Detriot...Sheff's lip really would had been "busted." Pussy.
