Where the Kids Come to Mouth Off

[Shape Shifter]

Penn Jillette, of Penn & Teller fame has written a novel entitled "Sock". Lest there be any doubt that our own penske provided inspiration for this thriller, consider:

"What makes 'Sock' so different is its narrator. It is told almost entirely by Dickie, the diver's stuffed monkey. A homemade monkey, made of old socks and stuffed with discarded pantyhose. A rockin' sock monkey. A bad wammerjammer sock monkey. He watches the investigation unfold with loving -- if slightly jaundiced -- button eyes."

Bad wammerjammer sock monkey, indeed.

As you wish.

In addition, I bow to your obvious first-hand knowledge re: cumming quickly.

Synopsis -- Life Goes On (Corky's Crush)

Becca and Corky (in the same class somehow) do a classroom exercise in which paired students must pretend to be married for a week to investigate issues of marriage and family life. Becca is first paired with Lester Fishbein, then switches to Tyler. Neither works out terribly well. Corky, on the other hand, is paired with the new girl (Shannon Dougherty of 90210), upon whom he develops a crush. She only has eyes for the ubiquitous Russo, though, and Corky has to make peace with only being a friend. Meanwhile, Libby's parents hole up at the Thatchers' to continue their love feud. There's a great scene in which Sal Giordano encourages Corky that the right girl is out there.

The right person is out there for you, Corky. Don't worry.

If Schilling struggles in this series, watch everyone turn on him.

A few days late, I know, but this is the wrongest thing you've ever said on the boards.

And now I bow to your obvious first-hand knowledge of TM's sexual habits.
How is it that you people know so much of TM's sexual preferences re: males?

Why is that? They've invested so much faith in this guy that if he doesn't win every game he pitches, he's a failure. Think, "Nomar."

Schilling is so loved by the fans that they won't get down on him if he blows it. Schilling posts on a BB for Sox fans called the Sons of Sam Horn. The same would not be true of, say, Manny Ramirez or Derek Lowe. Or Nomar, for that matter -- which wasn't true a couple of years ago. He had the same love, and blew it.

In 80+ years of not winning, there are maybe three Red Sox blamed for losses: Buckner*, Pesky (who held the ball), and Joe McCarthy (who started Denny Galehouse in the '48 playoff game). The rest of the time, it's blame the opposition (Dent, Boone, Gibson, and Babe Ruth).

* Don't get me started on this one, because Bob Stanley and Calvin Schiraldi are the real ones.

I know all that. And he calls in to radio talk shows to defend his relationship with Pedro. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He has been annoited their savior and the Yankee killer and their number one starter (he deserves that one, for sure). But, let's say he gives up 6 runs, 3 times and Pedro blanks us and you end up losing. What use does he serve as far as Boston is concerned?

I'll give you that Boston fans rarely seem to focus their energy on the players (it wasn't Pedro's fault that he gave up all those runs to the Yankees in the ultimate must-win, right? Little is the only one to blame -- although, if he would have taken him out and Timlin would have gotten shelled, everyone would have wanted his head because "you can't take the best, clutch Boston pitcher of this generation out for some no-name middle reliever").

Either way, it was a throw away comment on my part because I can't see Schilling not pitching well.

If you're counting McCarthy, how can you exclude Grady Little???

Apropos of Little, during one of the Angels games, one of the announcers made a comment about how loose the Red Sox players were this year, what with peace and love and harmony and kumbaya in the clubhouse and all (which seems to be true), and how Francona was a calm loose guy, too.

Then they showed him on the bench, and the guy was twitching and rocking like he was having a seizure. I'm guessing that the guy is under so much stress that he swallows coal and passes diamonds. He's got to be hoping that each game -- win or lose -- is a blow-out so that he doesn't have to manage his pitching.
