Quick hit on the Yankees-Sox series.

www.WeAreTheHecklers.com

For Red Sox fans: The New York Yankees sweep over the Boston Red Sox which concluded with the Yanks comeback should not be considered an updated version of the Boston Massacre. During the four game series, the Bombers outscored the Sox 25-8. They held the Sox scoreless for over 30 innings straight at one point, including a near no-no by CC. AJ Burnett silenced the bats, but honestly, the Sox were slumping anyways.

For Yankee fans: 31-10 in your last 41 games? That's ridiculous. They have been on a tear which is unheard of since A-Rod came back. Remember a few years ago when he was the greatest choke artist? I don't care if it's April, August or October, you hit a walk off against the Red Sox in the bottom of the 15th in a pivotal series - you're clutch. Mark Tex is the reason this defense is any good. With no stats other than this writers eyes to back this up, but I'd say a good 10% of the throws he fields would have gotten by Giambi - now unemployed. All in all the starting pitching looks brilliant, the team is hitting on all cylinders - from small ball to mammoth home runs, and the bullpen is holding their leads.

Away we go

Ah, we have entered the wonderful world of blogging. As the headline says, we say what we think. There is a lot of stuff going out there in the world, and there are sponsors, advertisers, and various people meant to bring you down, but when all is said and done, to each his own. Yes, selfish as it sounds, we are going to say what we feel like. The smallest stadiums in the NFL are approximately 63,000. That's a lot of people, and we're just some of those screaming idiots who care enough to write about it.

Down to business.

These are OUR thoughts and no one else can tell us what to say or think, and that is the beauty of it all. The first amendment allowed for things like these, but forget politics. This is a sports blog.

So, here's just some random things about me and then some thoughts passing through my head.

I love video games, mike and mike (and will frequently reference it), I have mlb.tv and watch games a lot. I actually watch the all star games. I watch a lot of sportscenter and put it down as my favorite tv show for my high school superlative.

Soccer:
- We lost that game against Brazil didn't we? All right, let's just remain apathetic about it until we blow it in the World Cup. No other opinions necessary.
Hockey:
-Marty Brodeur is the best goalie of all time. Yes, I'm a Devils fan, and I know no one who reads this is.
-I can't stand Sidney Crosby, and he's great and all but shut up. He's not Wayne Gretzky.
Basketball:
-I'm a Nets fan, but they suck so onto the Knicks...I sure do hope they get LeBron, but come on, he's not going to be the first billion dollar athlete. Tiger woods has that locked down.
Golf:
-Could not have cared LESS until Tiger Woods came along. Yeah, I'm a fan of his but I like the sport too.
-
I honestly hope he beats Jack Nickalus' record and gets like 20 majors. He can do it, it's not like he's getting any younger but he's allowed to get older. It's golf. Oh yeah, a black president and a black golfer dominating the sport? What the hell happened?
Baseball:
- I am a Yankees fan but seriously, a lot of Yankee fans need to get over themselves. I'm sick of Yankee fans who expect to win. My favorite part of being a Yankees fan was watching Ian Kennedy, Joba and Hughes grow up. Sure it may not have worked out but it was fun.
- I am in a VERY small minority here but I think pitchers shouldn't hit. It is dumb. They can get injured.
Football:
- I love football so much. I'm a Jets fan, a huge Jets fan, but boy do I just love the sport in general. I like watching film, watching those "Edge Matchup" shows at 7 in the morning on Sundays. I don't go to many games, but this will be my main area of expertise.
- I can't wait.


No, don't expect the rest of the posts to be like this, it's just an introduction.

Oh yeah, one thing, I don't want to deal with emails, so if you have a response, want to tell me I'm stupid for being a Devils fan, hate me for being a Yankees fan, or remind me that I have rookie QB Mark Sanchez starting this season, well then comment, I'll try to answer everything as best I can assuming anyone actually replies.
