Mike Napoli is saying “My momma no raise no dummies. I dug her rap”

The Red Sox are saying “I say, let ‘em crash”

Napoli’s agent is saying “Municipal bonds. I’m talking AAA rating.”

If you can’t tell the difference between an intentional farce for comedy purposes and the use of a screaming savage as a mascot, there’s no helping you.

Hmmmm. Wonder why Craig isn’t offended by this obvious stereotype of 70s black men, but if the Braves put an Indian Warrior’s face on hat it’s terrible.

“Pursuant to” is probably the least hip saying in the English language. The only places you ever read that phrase are in legal documents.

Red Sox need to cut bait.

This is like a bad relationship before it even starts. Shouldn’t there be a honeymoon period for things like this that bring that false sense of optimism even for a little while? We haven’t even had that.

This thing is doomed. Just walk away and kick yourself for not trading for Kendrys Morales…….

They were quite good, but the king of Jive talking was Cab Calloway. He was the hippest hep cat of all.
