Misplaced Man Love

man loveby the goat… Okay it’s been long enough. I have come to terms with the fact that Manny is really gone. While I will always hold a special place for him in my heart, it is time to move on. I have been scouring the Boston scene for a place to deposit my man love and here are the finalists, all very deserving of man love in Boston:

  1. Jerod Mayo: This guy looks like he is going to be the real deal. A perfect fit for man love, he plays like his hair is on fire with zero regard for his own safety. Unfortunately it’s just too early to make a commitment to him, sorry Jerod maybe in a few years we can make some mustmayostardayonnaise.
  2. Jason Bay: A logical choice for sure, he is crushing the ball and looks to be settling into Boston nicely. I just simply can not overlook this photo. Posing with the lifeguard floaty thing is just too much for me to take. Jason loses out on a technicality.
  3. Tom Brady: Yeah he really needs more love.
  4. Eddie House: This one took a while. Eddie is very deserving in many ways. In the end the deciding factor was that he always has his kid with him. Even on the sideline during games. I mean how can you properly nurture a man love relationship with the kid always around?
  5. Lil Dusty Pedroia: This article is what got Dustin on the list, but in the end I would just feel a little too “Samwise Gamgee” giving my man love to such a Frodian.
  6. Paul Pierce: This post says it all.
  7. Jon Lester: Lester has emerged as the ace of the Red Sox staff this year. He is tough as nails and would be an excellent candidate if it weren’t for the fact that he is close with Curt “the Girth” Swilling. Sorry Jon but you’re guilty by association.
  8. Kevin Garnett: This post says it all, but in the end, like Mayo, it is just too soon.

In the end the decision came down to one thing. What is going to make me happiest. So I made a tough decision and came up with this:

My man love is staying with Manny Ramirez! I don’t give a shit what anyone says, we are going to make this long distance relationship work. If you don’t like it then take a hike.man love

Garnett Is Officially A Bostonian

July 19, 2008 · Filed Under CELTICS, NBA · 1 Comment 

kevin garnettby the goat… Look at this photo closely, do you notice something? That is K.G. at the ESPY awards. By the way, in case you live under a rock, the Celtics beat out the Red Sox to win team of the year, it seems the only way Boston can lose anything these days is to get beat by… Boston.

Anyway back to Kevin Garnett, in that photo of him at the ESPYs he is wearing diamond studded Red Sox earrings. That’s it, sorry Minnesota, I know it was lightning fast but K.G. is officialy a Boston native son. He is ours. All Garnett Timberwolves jerseys can be turned in at your local post office to be disposed of in a proper fashion.

Has any athlete on the planet ever changed and then subsequently earned his stripes as quick as Garnett? He was traded to Boston on July 31, 2007, K-day, and in less than a year he has chest pounded his way into the hearts of every single notoriously skeptical Bostonian. Intensity and passion will go a long way, winning a championship pretty much gets you there, but to seal the deal? Red Sox earings.

Game over. Break out the baked beans and Sam Adams, Kevin is officially a Bostonian.
