Wind Beneath My Wings

Clinched!

Your 2007 MLB World Series champion Boston Red Sox are a step closer to defending their reign! Let's celebrate their postseason guarantee with another great sound bite from ace pitcher Josh Beckett:



"That cigar makes you smell like a hamster," followed by the did-I-impress-the-lady? look. Love it!

Mike Lowell and Beckett: The next great comedic duo.

Guys, you are the wind beneath my wings. 

You can't say that on [American] television!

Venezuela's dictator Victor Chávez is quite evil, but he makes for great entertainment... sort of like the Benny Hinn of the political world.

Chávez' latest theatrics was to cast out the demon that is the American ambassador in his country. Around the :49 mark he shouts: ¡Váyanse al carajo, yanquis de mierda!



Classy "Mr. President." Gentle reader: If you have not learned that phrase from your Rosetta Stone software, demand a refund!

Chávez was at his finest hour when the King Juan Carlos of Spain told him to shut up: ¿Por qué no te callas?

In case you missed that blip in international politics, I present you the reggaeton mix!

George Michael: A no go-go?

Some upsetting news for Arrested Development those who enjoy being entertained. Actor Michael Cera thinks he's too awesome to be in a much-talked about, much-anticipated Arrested Development movie. Arrested Development is a great show that sadly lasted only 3 seasons on FOX because boneheads prefer to watch "gems" such as According to Jim, Yes Dear and Everybody Loves Raymond.

Arrested Development made Michael Cera the great awkward hero he has grown to embrace. (A bit too much... stretch yourself, buddy!)

Now it seems that Cera is trying to distance himself from his Arrested Development George Michael character (even though he continues to play the same character script after script...)

You listen to me Cera and you listen to me good! I don't want you to become the male Molly Ringwald! So quit doing awkward teenage quirky!

I'm still pulling for you and would love for you to get back with the fam. Didn't we almost have it all?

Sell outs!

Being a sell out can be a good thing!

Congratulations to the folks at Fenway Park for securing 456 straight regular-season sell outs. This streak began May 13, 2003 and surpassed the record previously set by the Cleveland Indians at Jacobs Field June 12, 1995 to April 2, 2001.

Better than the accomplishment is their great full page ad. Kudos!

While it wasn't quite Fenway Park, we got to catch the fellas win the series against the Texas Rangers at Rangers Park in Arlington. The visit to the Promise Land (Texas) miraculously resurrected three giants from the disabled list: Sean Casey, Mike Lowell and Josh Beckett.

I leave you with my favorite photo of the series:



Dear, sweet Beckett left the barn door open during the first inning of this series debut. Pobrecito. Let he who cannot relate cast the first stone.
