Nnnooooowwww on Deweys
Hey we took a little break. Kudos for us.
Anyway, since the last time we rapped at you, the Red Sox put a fine piece of hurting in the Bronx, got spanked by Texas once, and then watched them sail away in their arky-arky, beat the Orioles twice, and then had the misfortune of not being able to win a fortnights worth of games against one opponet. Oh, and Sully got LOLWtfPwn3d by a White Sox fan in the comments of his 5/9 post. I think we might start having a segmant here called “I Hate Sully” where fans of other teams bitch about him being a Red Sox fan and writing about the Red Sox on a Red Sox blog. Unfortunately, Pat hasn’t gotten death threats yet, which means he’s still 2 behind me. I love Yankee fans.
Back to something normalish: two things were brought to my attention in last night’s 4-3 Orioles win at the expense of the Sox Rouge. The first is that Leo Mazzone rocks more than Tito does. The second is that Sam Perlazzo crosses his legs in the dugout in a way that looks so uncomfortable that I can’t really wrap my head around the fact that it’s biologically possible.
Over the next few weeks, the Red Sox have a brutal stretch (24 games in 23 days if you include the yet-to-be-scheduled Tejas doubleheader), where they face the Phillies down in Philadelphia, then head home for a 3 some with the Yankees, a 4 some with those slutty Devil Rays, we hook up again with our Canadian girlfriend, on to Detriot, 4 way with the Yankees, and then the aformentioned baseball orgy against the Rangers.
I predict the Red Sox will go 36-0 during this 24 game stretch because of their sublime awesomacity.

Do you guys draw straws on a daily basis to see who’ll be the douche bag du jour? As I stare out my office window into the delightful Windy City dusk, I am positively in awe that somebody could eclipse Blogger Sully (even for a day) on the unintentional comedy scale. Come on, Jeff… get a grip. I mean, seriously. You lost me at “arky-arky” but then followed up with choice comments as “Sox Rouge,” “awesomacity” and a whole paragraph alluding to Boston’s “orgy” of games. You guys are great comedy… where would I be without my daily does of Dewey’s House??!!
Seriously, no non-Sox Rouge fan cares that you three are die hard fans… that’s more than cool. The point is that you guys vanquish all previous records for homerism on a website blog and come off like complete douche bags. First of all, you use very selective (and intellectually dishonest) analytics to quantify your arguments, and then you pair that with a most atrocious and comical use of words too big for you to fully understand. Come on guys… step it down a few notches. Stop being caricatures of the stereotypcial Boston douche bags that no normal American can stand.
I’m still trying to decide if this is the best blog ever or the worst. Not sure yet… but you guys will be seeing me around. Somebody has to be the whistle blower around here.
P.S. - I hope the dusk in Boston is still most delightful in this fair month of May, Blogger Sully. Lol.

“Stop being caricatures of the stereotypcial Boston douche bags that no normal American can stand.”
As opposed to what . . . say some obnoxious Chicagoan jackass who carries a Thesaurus in his back pocket to help prop up his flaccid e-peen?
Now run along back to the Sox Blanc, you’re boring us.

Guru,
I enjoy fantastic relationships with Yankee bloggers like Alex Belth, Cliff Corcoran and Jay Jaffe. I have been asked by the Baseball Analysts to contribute to their annual AL East preview for two years running now. They even asked me to do a guest spot for them. You’ll find my name on their sidebar, right there with Bob Klapisch’s, Bert Blyleven’s, Dayn Perry’s and Will Carroll’s.
I decided to contribute here in the Summer of 2003 because I thought some people might like to hear my voice. Nothing more nothing less. It turns out some people do.
So you’ll forgive me if I have a tough time taking what you have to say to heart. I never professed to be much of a writer, and from what you have shown with respect to your understanding of fundamental analytical baseball principles, it’s tough for me to take anything you have to say about baseball all that seriously.
If you would kindly not leave mean-spirited comments anymore, I would really appreciate it. If you care to engage in real baseball dialogue or debate, come back anytime. We’d love to have you.
-Sully

Guru just gave himself up; no one in Chicago could possibly say anything good about Chicago.
There’s not a single thing delightful about Chicago apart from the pizza. The people, the city, the architecture, the people, the teams, the people, and the location are all universally horrible.
But, I’m glad you’re gracing us with your idiotic presence.

Sully, I have to agree with the Guru here. You are a borderline idiot, and that’s being generous. The Yankees blog probably asked you to guest blog, and then in the “password protected” area ripped you to shreds without you knowing. Yeah, and I bet you started this blog to have people hear your voice since you are so “demonstrably” haughty. Oh, and then you play the “ah shucks” card by saying you’ve never claimed to be much of a writer after talking about how valued fellow bloggers view your opinion and how little you value Guru’s! Spare me.
I think you use this blog to feel better about yourself. Easy to pound your chest behind the curtain of a webpage. And all the sheep Sox fans here eat up your drivel because they too are just a bunch of rank homers. Any other city in the country can acknowledge the fallacies of its team… not Boston though. Your stilted analysis of the Sox vs. Yanks a few weeks back was one of the worst analyses I’ve ever read. God, it almost makes me want to cheer for Yanks despite being a lifelong Mets fan!
As for your new job, I guess congratulations. You make it sound though you got hired for some posh I-banking job or something. You probably just got a raise from $40K to $50K… or something like that. Pretty hard for me to see anyone taking you too seriously outside of the Sox Rouge kingdom. You’re too much of a douche bag.

Uh oh, Magic Man. Be careful or you might get labeled as a troll. Man, that was harsh bro, but I feel Blogger Sully needs to be beaten up a little before he’ll enact change in his homer blogging style.
Mets look tough by the way. White Sox and Mets in the Series? Could happen.
May 24th, 2006 at 11:53 am
Nah, I think the Mets are a starting pitcher away. I like where things are going, and MAYBE we can make a big run, but everytime I see Kazmir light it up for those “slutty Devil Rays” I feel that we deserve to fall just short of the goal for a while. I mean, how do you unload Kazmir like they did? Arrgghhh… oh well, most of the team’s other recent moves have worked out well. I think a great step this year would be to win the division and maybe a round in the playoffs. That would be major progress for us.
(By the way, I’m sure that if Sully and Jeff were Mets fans, they’s be predicting 100+ win seasons though and the birth of a dynasty… lol. Like you said, this site breaks all records for homerism.)

Aww, it’s so cute how Guru is typing to himself.
Typing under two names just so you can rankel a blog writer is freaking hilarious.
