Someone has gotten their hands on three pairs of game-worn underwear from the Red Sox locker room:
We knew it was just a matter of time before the Dumpster divers at Fenway Park resurfaced with their usual stash of locker-room detritus.
This year, jockobilia peddler Phil Castinetti of SportsWorld in Saugus reports he’s gotten his mitts on three pairs of Red Sox BVDs which he intends to throw up on eBay today.
“We did great with what we had last year,” Phil told the Track. “We got between $200-$300 for A-Rod’s underwear, although we had some problems with Josh Beckett, and we had to take his off eBay.”
It’s not what Castinetti’s doing that upsets me. It’s a tough world and we’ve all got to hustle a little bit to make an extra buck. Some people slang weed, others slang underwear. Whatever. What bothers me is that some sick bastard is undoubtedly going to buy this underwear. But what to do with it? It’s not suitable for framing, it’s not much of a conversation piece, and I don’t think there’s much of a market for resale. So whoever buys the underwear is obviously going to sniff it, right? I can’t think of any reason to own Hideki Okajima’s game-worn underwear aside from being a depraved bastard who wants to smother his face with it and inhale a musk of sweat, feces, and soy sauce.

This weekend I was in the Salem, MA to partake in some adult beverages. If you paid attention in history class, this is where they held those famous witch trials, just like in “Monty Python and the Holy Grail”.
While the witch trials are long gone, Halloween in Salem never disappoints in terms of bringing out the crazies. It also brings out some of the best costumes you’ll find, even if it’s only the middle of October.
And this is how I stumbled upon this guy dressed up as Ted Williams. Wipe your tears Red Sox nation, this is funny. The only thing this costume was missing was a can of tuna.
Anyone with half a brain knew that David Ortiz was roiding all these years and that his ability in the clutch – unlike A-Rod’s current tear – stemmed from illegal substances. The Red Sox have found new ways to cheat, though, and you’ve got to give them credit for thinking creatively. From Yahoo! Sports:
The Boston Red Sox are apparently going to try and get San Diego Padres first baseman Adrian Gonzalez this off-season via trade, according to the Boston Globe. The team supposedly thought about grabbing Gonzalez at the trading deadline.
Adding fuel to the fire on this potential deal is that Red Sox assistant GMs Jed Hoyer and Ben Cherington are both supposedly in the running to become the Padres’ next general manager. So if either one of those gets brought on board in San Diego, a smoother trade path clearly opens between the two teams.
It’s pretty admirable how committed to cheating Boston is. Between Ortiz and Manny being juiced up during their prime Red Sox years, the Pats illegally videotaping their opponents before games, and the obvious collusion that was the Kevin Garnett trade, why should more cheating from the city of Boston surprise anyone?
