Mea Culpa

On July 30th, I wrote "that the Red Sox will not make the playoffs this year." My statement was made based the fact that the Red Sox was in the midst of losing (with some real bad baseball) 5 of 6 games against New York and Los Angeles and were struggling against teams with records above .500.

I'm here today to say that I was wrong, and that I'm glad that I was wrong with the Red Sox clinching a playoff berth with last night's victory over Cleveland. Now the Red Sox appear to be headed for a playoff matchup with Los Angeles (where they'll get swept, but that's for another day - today we celebrate getting the Sox getting into the playoffs).

In addition to there being October baseball in the Red Sox future, last night's win was also good some the standpoint that we got to see a champagne-soaked Heidi Watney in the Red Sox clubhouse. Though, I have to say that it was a little disappointing to not actually see her getting doused with champagne. She started her post-game interviews already soaked. Where's the footage that all of New England wants to see and why was it left out?

Check out a wet Heidi whispering sweet-nothings into the ear of David Ortiz. Seeing this was worth being wrong about the Red Sox playoff chances.

And from the "This Didn't Take Long" category, Boston getting into the playoffs also knocked the Yankees out of the playoffs and gave Hank Steinbrenner a chance to shoot off his mouth about how the setup of the playoff system is unfair - Pussy.

In non-Red Sox news. I can't stop laughing while watching this. Has there ever been a more appropriate song choice for a dancer in the history of dance. "Most wasted asses than Fanny and Freddie."
