Alive.....It's Alive!......IT'S ALIVE!!!

Red Sox Nation is still in it!! We just have to "Keep the Faith". No, not that way!! This is what I'm talkin' about!! Keepin' the faith!! There has been so much going on these past few games that it is difficult to keep it all in focus. All I know is that they are not dead. Not yet!! After two of the greatest Sox games I have ever witnessed, only one thing can be said: Don't stop believing!! You know what, I won't. GO SOX!!!


Who's your Papi?

Oh Papi, Certainly doing it all aren't you. Makes you wonder if he also piloted the Red Sox Charter plane to New York last night. Speaking of doing it all, look what I just learned how to do. I posted that very picture above this sentence. Computer technology is no match for the Toast. Neither are chicken wings.

Finally we have Schilling. Tonight it all comes down to you my man. There isn't anyone else I'd rather see up there on the mound. We know you have that ankle thing, I just hope you give it your all. Red Sox Nation is behind you all the way.

Dear toastedblog audience, you may be asking, where have you been. So what have I been up to the past few days. I must say that despite my crazy manliness, even Toasts get sick. Toasts also have problems with wisdom teeth coming in underneath existing molars that recently lost a filling causing his jaw to hurt something fierce, thus requiring trips to Dr. Carpenter's office where he recommends that the tooth be pulled. So, to make a long and apparently third person story short, I was a little out of it last week and I am down one tooth, the driver's side rear molar. But don't you fret, my wisdom tooth will be coming in nicely and will makes its home in my newly formed vacant tooth spot. I'm sorry for the inactive toastedblog. However, I cannot make Portublog reappear. You'll have to appease Big Baby Jitters for that one. Just mention card sharks, modan-yo, Big-K, Ohio in any format, Googles (which doesn't exist, I don't care what you say), or Kurt Warner's Arena Football Unleashed. OOOWWW!!!

In any event, I still was quite busy last week. The ALCS, rugby, dentists, painkillers, random bar trips. I was selected to the "A" side game for the first time this year as we played Lockport on Saturday. We continued our undefeated ways by beating them soundly and we played a Buffalo team in the second game, winning that one as well. No tries this week for me but had a few nice runs and plays. I hit one kid real well as he was running east-west on the field and looking in the opposite direction, then BAM!!! Never saw me coming. Good times. I even got a little fiesty when a Buffalo player grabbed my throat as his stiff arm. I fought through attemted push away and tackled him hard. For good measure I kneed him in the side of the head and punched him in the kidneys for his toast choking manuever. That was the first time I had done anything "dirty" since college hockey where I could have been perceived as a goon or a dirty player at times. Felt good.

Now that I mentioned hockey, that gets underway soon and as I suspected I play late on Wednesday nights, from 10:15 to 12:30. Woo!! No sleep for Toastie. I'm sorry to say Chump Phelps, but there will be candy bars for Toastie. Basketball starts next week too. The Change of Pace Sports Bar is our sponsor. Oh, such a magical place. Do we have a team name yet?? Suggestions shall be accepted. Word on the street is Jerseys are powder blue. You can't beat that with a stick. I can't wait till they see some white boys like us on the court, layups aplenty. I certainly hope our uniforms consist of short shorts, high socks, and chuck taylors, the way basketball was meant to be played. This should be interesting, more news on this as it arrives.
