Red Sox

It seems that John Swofford, the coordinator of the BCS did not really enjoy his time in front of Congress as some of them did not have kind words for him. Many things such as BS instead of BCS came out of their mouths fueling the fire what many college football fans are feeling about this system that we have to pick a National Champion.

Yesterday was the Red Sox home opener, a welcome sight for the thousands of Red Sox fans and for the players themselves who had just completed an 18 day road trip that brought them to Japan, California and Canada and saw them open the season with a 3-4 record.  For me this was a bit of a sad day, the first time in the past seven years that I was not attending the game at the ballpark, but for

t fight your way onto the stage.

Then there's the 37 year-old Doug Mirabelli, The Boston Red Sox back up catcher.  The Sanfrancisco Giants selected him out of Witchital State in 1992.  He was touted as a good catcher with some pop in his bat.  Up until the last 3 years or so, I'd say he sort of fit that description.  He did a good job behind the plate with or without Wakerfield, and he took one out of the yard every now and then.  I'll painfully admit that we do still need him to catch Wake, especially after seeing what happened a couple of years ago when Mirabelli went to the San Diego Padres.

The past week has been relatively quiet in the world of the Boston Red Sox.  Sure, the team was in the headlines concerning Jim Rice and his 14th attempt at becoming a Hall of Famer but besides that very little has happening in

han Roger Clemens did. 

Why would he have done this?  After his career with the Boston Red Sox his numbers would have given him an arguement for entry into the hall of fame. He had 192 wins, 2590 strike outs and an ERA of 3.05.  When he left the
