We're taking bets that it is not a Merry Christmas in Red Sox nation...

Here are a few observations of the past few days...

* Being a Red Sox fan means that disappointment comes often. Johnny Damon signing with the Yankees makes us very upset. Not that he shouldn't go for the money, but to go to the Yankees just sucks. Sadly it is acceptable as a Red Sox fan to wish a torn hamstring or rotator cuff injury on someone. Maybe not career ending, but enough to make Johnny just an average leadoff hitter. :)

* VH-1 really does a good job with its "I Love the..." series. I was watching I love the 90's Part Deux series marathon yesterday and it is truly funny. Rachel Harris is probably the biggest gem on the show with Michael Ian Black coming a close second.

* It is a scary time living in Springfield. Finances are in the shitter and no one feels safe. If we had an efficient mass transit system like NYC we would be shut down for months. (NYC may be shut down for months too.) Hopefully someone will be able to save this city and rescue it as we move into the latter part of the decade.

* Kobe Bryant scored 62 points in only 3 quarters last night. Pretty amazing considering after those 3 quarters he had more points than the entire Dallas team. The sad thing is that if the Lakers expect to go anywhere in the playoffs he will have to do that repeatedly and I think he may score 85+ one night. Oh Zen Master Phil Jackson when did you change your coaching to just pass it to Kobe?

* There has really been some great family movies this fall. I strongly recommend going to see Harry Potter 4 and Chronicles of Narnia. They are worth every penny you spend.

* This has been blogged about probably a million times by now, but you need to see it faithful readers. Saturday Night Live has been on a downswing the last two years. I am here to say that they are making a slight comeback. Having Dane Cook on three weeks ago helped and this past week they had a skit that is hilarious. Download whatever you need to watch it. Even if you don't like rap this is funny. Dr. Dre would be proud. :)

* Happy Winter Solstice everyone!!! Enjoy the shortest daytime and longest nighttime of the year. Thanks to everyone that commented yesterday!. I will be doing a few more of those best/worst of's over the course of the next week. If you have any suggestions for them please e-mail or post a comment. Have a great day.

I think Red Sox fans need to realize something, the Yankees are a great team that have history and I think if I were a professional baseball player I would want to play for a team that has and will continue to have a great history in the sport. You're bostonians take everythhing so personal...its not always about ya'll!!
Which brings me to another point that so much faith and hope is put in these players who are simply doing their job and just like us regular folk (minus the insane amount of $$ they make for working about 6mths of the year)when we are tired of the company we work for we look for something new with better benefits...these damn athletes ain't no different they'r outself and could care less about the devout fans
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

I think ya'll are being to nice to Johnny. He is a total traitor. I watched an interview with him last night and he could care less about the team he just left, he's all about the money. Jackass!! Oh, and his new 'do is simply horrible!
