2006 Year in Review

Here's a meme via a non-sports-related blogger I read, a recap of 2006 via the first line from each month's first post.

January -- "I was a bit puzzled when, on Friday at Kristen's house, Sam referred to a play by a Detroit Lion, who persevered toward the end zone with several opposing players hanging from his body, as "majestic."

February -- "Excerpts from The Education of a Coach continue..."

March -- "From the upcoming Sports Illustrated:"

April -- "Deadspin first put up this video of Tom Arnold vs. Michael Strahan on last night's episode of The Best Damn Sports Show, Period."

May -- "I was on my way to a business lunch when the phone rang."

June -- "I'm tempted to rant about this column by Tony Massarotti, but instead I want to at least try to lay out some thoughts on the subject rationally."

July -- "Ortiz was up in the last of the ninth with a man on and the Sox down by three."

August -- "So far, I haven't heard anyone mention one particular small incident that took place during the game last night--NESN seemed to take the tack of pretending it didn't happen immediately; neither Don or Jerry said a word about it even as it occurred."

September -- "I'm not going to tell you that I've changed my mind about this season because of yesterday's game."

October -- "I think Chad Finn already put it best: "Appropriate ending when you think about it, what with circumstances conspiring to ruin something potentially memorable one last time."

November -- "Derek Jeter won the Gold Glove this year at shortstop."

December -- "Of course the Patriots decided to show me up when I brought a guest--and a guest from another country, no less--to the game, expecting them to be on their best behavior."

Cursed to First...come for the scintillating observations on the game, stay for the total non-sequiturs!

P.S. Barry to the Giants. Oh, well, at least it's not the Yankees.

I looked around here for your email address, but no such luck.

I ran across your Red Sox/Pats blog from a Red Sox Fan in Pinstripe Territory. I am an admin at a Red Sox message board called the 406Club.net.

We would be extremely interested in inviting you (and any of your fellow Red Sox fans) to join our message board, first and foremost. We have a lot of Red Sox fans on our board who are excited about the upcoming season (we have women there, too, and one is a mod) and you'd feel right at home. We are trying to recruit new, knowledgeable members of Red Sox nation.

Also, we would be interested in a link exchange. We can help your blog get more exposure so more people can read what you have written and you can help us the same way.

Please let us know your thoughts. Thanks.

Regards, Stanton (406Club.net)
