"For his part, Hank betrays no worry about the competition in the American League, whether it?s the Cleveland Indians, who eliminated the Yankees last year; the Detroit Tigers, who added Miguel Cabrera and Dontrelle Willis this winter; or, above all, the Red Sox, who have not only won the World Series twice in the last four years but are arguably becoming a national phenomenon. 'Red Sox Nation?' Hank says. 'What a bunch of [expletive] that is. That was a creation of the Red Sox and ESPN, which is filled with Red Sox fans. Go anywhere in America and you won?t see Red Sox hats and jackets, you?ll see Yankee hats and jackets. This is a Yankee country. We?re going to put the Yankees back on top and restore the universe to order.' ? -- Hank Steinbrenner, New York Times, Play Magazine

If the Sox came into 2005 acting like the teenager who finally got laid for the first time senior year, in 2008 they?re going to be the teenager who?s been getting some for a while ? he knows how good he has it, but he also knows to be cool. Some of his neighbors haven?t gotten any in years and then got a really bad outbreak of zits (Baltimore). Some have never even held hands with a girl (Tampa). Some keep getting dates but spill spaghetti sauce on their pants early and can?t get a goodnight kiss lately (Toronto). And some keep getting a willing girl to their car, only to prematurely ejaculate into their underwear (you know who I mean).

Bugs & Cranks ? Sox pick up where they left off: Demolishing kids

After new Yankees boss Hank Steinbrenner lambasted the notion of Red Sox Nation, Boston principal owner John Henry has offered an olive branch to his American League East rival.

Henry has decided to make Steinbrenner the newest member of Red Sox Nation complete with membership card and certain perks that only members can obtain, according to the Boston Herald.

"I'm a big Hank fan," Henry wrote in an e-mail to the newspaper. "Just to ensure he knows how cool Red Sox Nation is, [Saturday] we officially inducted him as a member of Red Sox Nation and we are sending him his membership card giving him access to an array of options including our newsletter, bumper stickers, pins, Green Monster seats and a hat personally autographed by David Ortiz."

Gussied up for a private dinner benefiting the Mike Lowell Foundation, Papelbon, who declined an invitation to be on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars," and teammates Pedroia, Alex Cora, and Lowell, danced in the Cuban-themed "Dancing with the All-Stars" event (check out photos). It raised $190,000 for the Foundation through live and silent auctions, including a $32,000 bid on an authentic 2007 World Series ring. Lowell won the competition, which Papelbon called "rigged."

"I haven't had a heart attack, I think I've come close," Francona said. "My chest hurt I was laughing so hard. I got a headache I was laughing so hard. Pedroia is a moron. I mean, you can write that. Pedroia is a moron. He looked a puppet on a string."

Pedroia, for the record, ripped off his shirt to reveal "Daddy" written across his chest with glitter, throwing his shirt to team owner John Henry.

"I can't tell you," Pedroia said, of his reasons, laughing. "It's personal . . . I thought my body pulled it off and [Papelbon's] didn't."

I'm sure they're going to put a net up in left, like they did when the Dodgers played there in the late 50s. I don't know the dimensions, but it used to be 251 to left.

I was told by a USC fan on Tigerforums that it will be 191 to left for this game!! That's smaller than the T-Ball field my son plays on.:biggrin2:

Said they're expectin 125,000 to attend
