My New Sawks Jersey

This is pretty freaking hilarious. My good friend EJ Flex (die hard Yankee fan) sent this my way, and even though it's an extreme parody of Sox fans, it's pretty damn funny. I like to think that if you can't laugh at yourself you can't laugh at anything. Knuckleballs!

Manny & Youk fight in dugout

NESN caught footage of Kevin Youkilis and Manny Ramirez getting all rough & tumble in the dugout during the Red Sox/Rays game tonight. No word yet on what it was about.
