Last night, Mets/Pads, David Wright made the second best barehanded catch I have ever seen in my life (behind THE Bo Jackson barehand). Wright, on a full sprint into left field, made a barehanded, over-the-shoulder catch of a Brian Giles flare. It...was...awesome. That kid is going to carry the NYE Mets for a loooooong time.
Speaking of catching balls with flair (ngs), Eric Byrnes does it nightly. I love watching that guy play (Added Bonus: He looks like a guy who would sit on his ass drinking Natty Lights watching Anchorman with you). I believe Squirrel once mocked Mr. Byrnes (exxxxxxcellent) over at MLC, and I simply don't get that. If he was on the Red Sox, Rob would be fellating him daily. I mean, come on, Red Sox fans love Kevin Millar, and he's a huge donkey (recently compared himself to Tom Brady? yeah, that seems accurate). Eric Byrnes is fun to watch whatever team he's on. Hell, he could patrol CF a helluva lot better than Corpsie Williams.
And finally this morning, hopefully you caught the highlights of the idiot kid who fell out of the upper deck at Yankee Stadium last night. That moron is lucky he fell over the net. He could've died, or worse, landed on Reggie Jackson.

I've hypothesized before that Eric Byrnes was just one 7 3/8" B-hat away from a 180-degree turn-around from Mr. Russell. He's the type of player that Bostonites love: scrappy, hustling, and white. They'd fawn over him and talk about how they'd rather have a team-oriented guy like him who cares on every play than a guy like Gary Sheffield who's all about himself.
And my nickname for Jeff "Wanker" Francoeur (okay, my second nickname for him) is "Tuffy." May he come out of the strong like Tuffy Rhodes, peter out, and have a wonderful career as a power hitter in the Japanese Leagues. Friggin' Braves.
Oh, and David Wright is a total stud. Chuck LaMar can go have sex with himself.
According to the Boston Globe, "Red Sox manager Terry Francona and general manager Theo Epstein played a prank on Kevin Millar before the game, with a blow-up of a Globe story in which Millar compared himself to Tom Brady. When Millar arrived at the ballpark, the poster-sized story was on his chair, along with a Brady jersey and Patriots pants. Dressed in the uniform, Millar went out to the field and threw around a football."
Red Sox fans tolerate Millar, because he soaks up a whole lot of press attention that would otherwise be directed at Manny. I wouldn't say we love him - we certainly don't love his 4 HR season.
I would stab myself in the eye with a fork if Eric Byrnes ever joined the Sox.
why is the cork on the fork?
