Weekend Thoughts

David Price is a fucking man. If you are an AL East fan, and AL fan in general you better starts shaking in your boots because he is going to be around and mowing people down for awhile. He was 12-1 in the minors this year and then with little major league experience Manager Joe Maddon went to him in the biggest spot in franchise history, and he shined.


Check out my column from early in September when I made 10 outlandish NFL predictions. While plenty of them are crazy there are a few that look pretty good right now, for instance; the predicted demise of the Cowboys, the emergence of Kyle Orton as a prodigy, the success of the Buffalo Bills, the injury of Tom Brady, and Kurt Warner leading the Cardinals to the playoffs and a possible MVP for himself. Like I said there are just as many predictions in there that are horribly wrong, but don’t pay attention to those.


I had a friend of mine call me Saturday night and wanted to know if the Sawx were the first team ever to bat a Jew and a Canadian back to back, when in Game 6 Kevin Jewkilous and Jason Bay batted back to back. I really couldn’t think of another circumstance where that happened, can anyone else?

Any time the Filowitz brothers played Wiffleball in the back yard there were two Canadian Jews batting back-to-back.
