The Internets: Beckett getting into retirement shape

We’re not sure what happened between late October and now, but it appears Josh Beckett has really let himself go. We know how Stanley Cup winners like to do odd things like drink beer out of the Lord’s trophy. Maybe Beckett was eating onion rings off the World Series trophy?

*Happy birthday, Ladies. Ahem. Ladies …

*An open plea from Sooze, honestly word-for-word from an email: “We love your readers. Would you be willing to link to our fantasy baseball post? We’d love to have some of your readers (Stu especially) play this season. (smiley face).” You heard the woman. Be in her fantasy.

*Buncha Falcons available, if anyone wants them. Alge Crumpler is somewhat intriguing. Hey, the Vikings already had Carlester.

*Our political affiliation aside, we think this blog by John McCain’s daughter is rather interesting and refreshingly not all uptight.

It’s too bad John McCain’s daughter is so unattractive…

Oh, she’s not? Well, I’m still not voting for him. As Emmitt would say, “Peppermint Tax Cuts, Peppermint War on Iroc-Z” No thanks.

And I apologize for what is going to turn into a political thing again on here. Can I nip it in the bud right after my comment? It never seems to go anywhere good…

Josh Beckett was playing ring toss with funyons on the little flags of the trophy.

However, I’d be more convinced that he’s become an “innings eater”, than of his gorging on onion rings.

We’d love to have some of your readers (Stu especially. but especially Dave MN) play this season. (smiley face)

Fixed. You’re welcome.

Here’s hoping the Comely Missus Stu never sees this post, lest Stu get in trouble for no reason whatsoever.

That’d be one COW vote for the comely Missus Stu after she DOES see the post.

The Comely Missus Stu will burn this blog to the ground…

Look out Internets!

I do believe I am blushing.

Speaking of whom, I think the Babes had that photo of Beckett up at their site yesterday. I honestly thought it was Photoshopped.

RE: McCain’s daughter. That is one maverick, straight-talking blog…

I just got back from a 4 hour lunch at Applebees where our bill was like $190 for 3 of us. Do you have any idea how many jagrbombs it takes at Applebees to rack up a bill like that?

PS. I know what happend to Beckett.

Four hours at Applebee’s? That sounds fun, flirty and edgy!

Dave MN says:

RandBall: Kinda like four hours at Applebee’s

Was it happy hour? If so, I would guess approximately 48 jagerbombs. If not, about 32 jagerbombs.

Seriously, this is how math class is taught at Eden Prairie High School.

Just make sure not to photograph yourself.

Dave MN, thanks for the edit. I actually love you all the same. Besides, I know you’ve all been dying for another opportunity to talk crap to Lizzy.

Comely Missus Stu, home-wrecking is not my style… unless that is the home of the future wife of my Canadian Crusher. Then yes, please.

jama - It’s fine to take photographs as long as you aren’t competing in the MSHSL. You can always just say the shot glasses had RC Cola and Red Bull in them.

I swear, it’s called a “Royal Bull”! This is soooo unfair!

Josh Beckett look exactly like the pitcher I played with last summer…on my fast pitch team !! Doesn’t he look just like those brawny boyz who step to the plate and plant homers or monster pop ups ? Or like the huge fatties in softball. Ahh softball. Bring on summer..and as for Stu, has Sooze ever seen a pict of you ? Don’t.

It started as lunch.

Once it hits your lips, it’s so good!

jama says:

That’s what she said!!!

OOOHHH YEEEAH!!

Damn it!
