The ‘07 season’s in the rearview, now…
… time to see how the ol’ prognostication actually panned out! Let’s see how prescient the o’ Natester is when it comes to his favorite team.
Curt Schilling: Sure, the Iron Horse is turning 40. In this day and age of massage therapists, performance coaches, private jets and pilates, I say to you: So?
Mr. Cursebuster has […]

Tales From IRC
From Patterico:
What religious extremism? I’m so glad you asked:
American commanders cite al-Qaeda’s severe brand of Islam, which is so extreme that in Baqouba, al-Qaeda has warned street vendors not to place tomatoes beside cucumbers because the vegetables are different genders, Col. David Sutherland said.
And my commentary in my gaming clan’s IRC channel on the topic:

‘07 Red Sox: The Starting 9
Continuing the Soxblogging, as promised, here are my thoughts and impressions on the Sox’ starting position players.
Batting first, the shortstop, Julio Lugo: While there’s no question that Lugo brings a great attitude and energy to the Sox, there’s some problematic numbers involved with this guy. For instance, we’ll start with .341, his career on-base percentage. […]

Hypocrisy 101
re: Don Imus:
Jackson called the firing “a victory for public decency. No one should use the public airwaves to transmit racial or sexual degradation.”
Except rappers, obviously.
Because, you know… it’s art.

‘07 Red Sox: The front-5
Ok, as I was saying. With the Sox’ offense bound to be a tick or two below rosy projections by the end of the season, the boys’re gonna have to rely heavily on their starting corps. There’s going to be a lot of 2 and 3-run grinders throughout 2007, and the difference between winning and […]

Thoughts on the 2007 Red Sox
Yeah, I know.
“But Nate, you’ve never blogged about sports before.”
Then this is a great time to start!
“I come here for amateur-hour politics. Sports are for fags.”
Sorry. This is probably only the first of many Red Sox-related posts for the next 6 months, so suck it up.
“Baseball sucks.”
Fuck you.

UK to UN: “Help us, Obi-Wan. You’re our only hope.”
Courtesy of MSNBC:
LONDON - Britain said Thursday it is seeking United Nations condemnation of Iran for its capture and detention of 15 sailors and marines in disputed waters in the northern Persian Gulf.
This is a smart move on the part of the Brits. Because we all know if there’s anything that Iran will cave to, […]

Pope Confirms: Hell is real!
Addressing a parish gathering in a northern suburb of Rome, the Pope said that in the modern world many people, including some believers, had forgotten that if they failed to “admit blame and promise to sin no more”, they risked “eternal damnation - the inferno”.
Hell “really exists and is eternal, even if nobody talks about […]
