Dropkick Murphys - I'm Shipping Up To Boston
With the Red Sox bringing back the bats and the younger pitchers coming along, it’s time to get ready for the pennant race.

Welcome Back Remy
The Boston Globe reported that Jerry Remy would be returning to the broadcast booth, part-time at Fenway Park, starting with this Friday’s series against the Yankees.

NCAA Social Media Policy
The SEC has decided that fans can no longer share their views during games through social media. With the SEC leading the charge, there are also thoughts that the rest of the NCAA may join in on the rally and prevent their fans from using these social media tools as well due to privacy reasons [...]

This morning, ESPN reported that Brett Favre changed his mind yet again and would sign with the Minnesota Vikings, pending a physical. Brett Favre has retired three times in the past two NFL seasons. Favre has also un-retired, four times now if he signs with the Vikings today. As I have said in the past, [...]
A Day At The Beach
As opposed to the run of the mill post I decided to take a trip to the beach with the Sportsfangirl today. We took a trip to Marshfield and met Cooper, our newly married couples dog. The reasoning behind mentioning Cooper is simply because he was great enough to take my mind off the fact [...]
Remember When
Messing around on the computer during the Sox game I found this video on youtube. Not only did I think it was a great video, I also love country music and enjoyed Alan Jackson singing Remember When. The pictures at the end of the video are also very touching of families enjoying Fenway Park in [...]

Get Off Your Knee's, You're Blowing The Game
Major League Umpires are one of the most tightly night brotherhoods in professional sports. If a player is labeled as someone that consistently argues balls and strikes, he’s never going to get the call on anything close when it’s a 3-2 count. If a pitcher stares down the ump after one supposed bad call, the [...]

One of the pioneers of the two sport athlete, Deion Sanders played football for 13 seasons as well as baseball for 9 seasons.

Do It For Johnny
Time’s up John, I can’t sit through another start and pretend to tell myself that you’ll come around eventually. In eight starts this season with a 2-5 record and an ERA the size of the average person’s foot. I’m just frustrated and bent out of shape with the performance from out pitching staff over the [...]
