Hot Cheese Up Front

I have been absolutely hysterically laughing for about 2 days now at the video of the guy in the left field grandstand at Fenway getting hit with a slice of pizza (by the way I hope my UMass peeps are feelin' the Antonio's reference in the title). For those who haven't seen it yet check this out.

This is up there already as one of my favorite videos ever. The throw was absolutely perfect. This guy managed to toss the slice so perfectly that it hit the other guy's shoulder cheese-side down. That's skill. Give that guy 100 shots in the exact same situation and there's no way it hits that way again. Just an all around clutch performance. And don't forget he pulled this off about 4 people away from the victim, during a game, with Garrett Anderson no more than 5 feet away, in front of 35,000+ people, in rainy Nor'Easter conditions. The timing was absolutely perfect as the camera caught it dead on. Just flat out impressive. I'm thinking of signing this guy as one of my closers for my fantasy team.

Onto some other thoughts from the weekend:

-Congratulations to whoever won the Boston Marathon. You managed to run 26 miles for no real reason. I also would like to apologize to the unfortunate runners that were forced to see me with my shorts around my ankles because I have some extremely immature friends. Let's grow up guys, seriously. At least there was justice and my buddy Craig was actually KICKED OUT OF THE BOSTON MARATHON. So add the Marathon to an ever growing list that includes every bar directly outside of Faneuil Hall (Purple Shamrock area), most of Faneuil Hall, the Catholic church, and probably 3 different Chuck E. Cheese's for ruining a 7 year old's birthday party because the kid won enough tickets to take the switchblade comb that Craig wanted. (The last one is just a guess but I'd be willing to bet on it being true)

-Some advice for everyone: DO NOT try to re-enact the scene from the opening of Kingpin where Woody Harrelson drops into a split while bowling. It WILL cost you a pair of jeans. But then again it leads to a ton of laughs and seeing your jeans ripped in half hanging on a deerhead in a Brookline apartment. On second thought, I do recommend trying this at least once.

-Speaking of Kingpin, I have to recommend that everyone make a stop by Kings in Boston for a night of bowling. Scorpion Bowls + seeing the bowling ball with the rose in it that Bill Murray used in Kingpin = an awesome night. And if I ever find out how to get pictures from my cell phone onto this site, I will gladly share the proof that it exists.

-And finally congratulations to me for taking a stronghold on 2nd place in fantasy. You all doubted me. Losers.

-QUICK UPDATE: Wily Mo Pena just killed a guy in deep centerfield in Toronto with a ball that came off the bat at approximately 374 mph. Just wait boys, legend in the making.
