Palin Kills Republicans Chances In Red Sox Nation

October 16, 2008 · Filed Under MLB, Uncategorized · 5 Comments 

by the goat… Oh my god Sarah Palin scares the crap out of me. Besides the famous Matt Damon question of whether or not dinosaurs actually existed (click here for the video), there is now a new and even more frightening development… She is using voters sports loyalties to enhance her political rhetoric! (GASP!) This has gone to far. Here is an excerpt from the New York Times:

Ms. Palin visited Salem, N.H. Wednesday night and said she looked forward to watching Senator John McCain debate Senator Barack Obama “right here, in the heart of Red Sox Nation.” Ms. Palin said that “Red Sox fans know how to turn an underdog into a victor,” a timely applause line given that the Sox trail the Tampa Bay Rays three-games-to-one in the best-of-seven American League Championship Series.

It seems, however, that Ms. Palin voiced a similar sentiment - actually, identical sentiment - last week at a rally in Florida.”How about those Tampa Bay Rays?” Ms. Palin said after the Rays defeated the Chicago White Sox.

“You know what that tells me? It tells me that the people in this area know a little something about turning an underdog into a victor.”

This bitch must be stopped! We don’t like to get political here on BSP, but we would call anyone from any party out for this crap.

Seriously, shouldn’t a Vice Presidential candidate be disqualified just for thinking they can get away with this shit? Has Sarah Palin ever heard of recording devices? The Internet? Sports Blogs? Do they have any of these things in Ruktkeytucktuk Alaska or wherever she hails from?

I mean I can understand not believing in evolution, some people are not very bright.

I can get past her saying that if the “under god” part of the pledge of allegiance was good enough for the founding fathers then it is good enough for her (The pledge of allegiance was written in 1892). Some people don’t know U.S. history.

I can get past her wanting to turn Alaska into a 19th century Lowell and the Bering Sea into a 20th century Charles River. How else will she pay for the gas to drive her illegitimate grandchild and friends to the hockey rink in her Escalade? Oh and fuck Polar Bears, they don’t do shit for us anyway.

I can get past the fact that it took her six colleges to get a Bachelor’s degree, although that does make half my retarded friends qualified to be V.P.

What I can not get past is rallying Red Sox nation with the same battle cry earlier bestowed upon the 17 fans of the Tampa Bay Gays. This my friends is inexcusable, it almost makes me wish goats could vote.

Simmons Beat Me To It

October 16, 2008 · Filed Under Uncategorized · Comment 

by the goat… Well it has come to my attention that Bill Simmons of ESPN has beat me to the punch with a why it’s not Manny’s fault story. I was just about done with mine when I read his and honestly it goes into it much deeper. Anyone who reads this story (all the way through) and still hates Manny is a moron.

The Olympics Are On?

August 12, 2008 · Filed Under NBA, Uncategorized · Comment 

beijing olympicsby the goat… I have no idea how it happened, but somehow I am into the Olympics.

It may have been the U.S. beating the French swimmers who had shit talked the Americans.

French swimmer Alain Bernard fueled a media frenzy before the men’s relay when he said:

“The Americans, we are going to smash them, that’s what we came here for.”

Other French team members went so far as to say that the Americans were scared.

When I heard this I was actually nervous. If you think about it swimming can be a form of fleeing, and the French have so much of that in their history that it is entirely possible it has altered their DNA.

They very easily could have developed gills and webbed feet just in case they have to flee down the Seine when the Luxembourg Army takes Paris. Thankfully they did not, and the U.S. made Frenchie eat his words (what I will forever refer to as the “Beijing Breakfast”).

I also found quite a bit of enjoyment watching the Mens Basketball team destroy the Chinese. At one point about 30 U.S. points in a row were the result of Lebron James taking (not stealing or blocking, literally physically removing) the ball from someone and sending it down court for some ridiculous dunk.

Wal-Mart, Tibet and human rights violations aside, China just scares the living shit out of me. It may be the Cold War upbringing, but they just give me that Rocky IV feeling.They wear red all the time, unless they are wearing their military uniforms. They walk in perfect formation and rarely smile. I get the feeling that just looking at them on television will cause me to get nuked any minute. It’s like the ’80’s with the Russians all over again.

So the U.S. is killing it in the pool, Phelps is 3-0 on his quest to history, mens Basketball smoked the hosts in the first round, Venus and Serena are cruising to the third round and even the mens Gymnastic team was able to eek out a bronze even though they were huge underdogs because they ran out of ham (I must confess I don’t follow gymnastics so I have no idea why their lack of coldcuts would have that effect).

The U.S. is leading the overall medal count, all is right with the world, and somehow I am actually into the Olympics.
