Metallica, you mean? They’re the ones Tull were up against. Metallica played “One” at the awards, and when it was over it took about two full seconds for the audience to realize that the song had ended.

They played badly that night.

Oooh, oooh! can I play? How about Entertainment Tonight?

Pfeh, ET! is no more than a accessory to evil – just irrelevant and silly without that heapin’ helpin’ of “hipness” that makes the other three so dark. More like, I dunno, a Germany than a Venezuela.

Is that good or bad?

“Buckner is now a passing annoyance. Bringing it up is like bragging that Jethro Tull won a best heavy metal Grammy. It just doesn’t matter anymore.”

Oh, yeah? Well it matters to Megadeath, buddy!

My friend’s dad still comments on Newsted’s Kaptain Krunch T-shirt. Without which I’d never remember such a thing.

And thanks to someone for mentioning “The Master of Disaster” Calvin Schiraldi and Bob Fricken Stanley. I’ve felt bad for Buckner for two decades. That was only Game 6, after all. Two outs, Stanley on the fricken mound, Mookie coming in to pinch-hit, rally ensues. Two freakin games in a row. Insert Berra quote here.

Yeah, but you see there was that “(used) to do it” thingy in there. The Buckner episode, like the Curse of the Bambino, the Ed Armbrister non-call, the beaning of Tony C. by the bastard Jack Hamilton, the Boston Massacre of 1978, Mike Torrez, Pesky’s Pause, pitching Denny Galehouse in 1948, etc. etc. those were passed down from generation to generation like Old Testament curses.

We were liberated in 2004 by the Greatest Team in History.

Did somebody say Bill Buckner?

We’re not sure but we are so grateful every time someone does.

I ~~am starting a baseless rumor~~ heard that Pats fans will be desecrating a Ron Jaworski jersey at Mo’s Caribbean next Sunday. Semper Aquilae!

What made the Sox losing so scarring was the baroque ways they (used) to do it.

Who would have thought that Tom Brady would play more total games in September than Manny Ramirez?! Just out of curiosity, and because I want to get this right, is not playing baseball in the month of September an official part of “Manny-Being-Manny”?

Look, what most of you peasants don’t realize is that we also have the Celtics. And while they are only now becoming semi-relevant again, they do have 16 championships and a brilliant cheat coaching patriarch — so we New England sports fans have long been considered insufferable winners who polarize fandoms everywhere.

What made the Sox losing so scarring was the baroque ways they (used) to do it. Sure, some fans still get weird during long losing streaks and shit, but seriously, since the Yanks have the greatest choke in sports history on their record — I think Sox fans who are panicking right now are just being skirt-wearing Marys.

Why don’t we just hire some thugs to beat them all up instead?

A Gathering of Eagles Fans would be up for it.

Would it be fair to say that Patriots fans are cockroaches?

I think the precedent has been set around here that it’s OK to argue like a wingnut when it comes to sports but that’s going too far. Why don’t we just hire some thugs to beat them all up instead?

So Patriot fans are the Belloc to the Yankee’s Indiana Jones? Is that the argument? Or is it Joker/Batman?

Holy shit man, Pats fans are starting to sound so much like asshole Yankee fans (have you started using the plural first person when referring to your team, huh? Of course you have.) that I might have to take the heretofore unthinkable step of rooting for the Yankees just so I can take pleasure in the Sox fans’ upcoming sorrow. That’s right dickheads. You are now the mirror images of all those triumphalist Yankee fans you hate so much and I’m going to laugh at your pain in the coming weeks.

I am having feelings. Feelings. Feelings for Brady. Tom Brady.

I think I need a poster of Tom Brady on the ceiling above my bed. A laminated poster. Of Brady. Tom Brady.

What’s the big deal about the McNuggets dudes? I think they’re pretty funny.
