PATRIOT NATION AND THE NFL DRAFT
Patriots Will Fill Their Defensive Holes Tomorrow

The Pats would have to be liquored
up to take an offensive player early...

The Patriots will likely make a trade to move up, as they have 11 picks and won't be drafting 11 guys. I would like to see them take a chance on BC's Mathias Kiwanuka(DE) depending on how the draft goes when the Pats pick at #21, and definitely grab him if he is still around in round 2. He is almost 6'6" tall, very fast, and solid at chasing guys down and making the open field tackle. He was tossed around a bit in the senior bowl, so he looks like a perfect candidate for Belichick to stand up and convert to outside linebacker-could develop in the LB/DE rusher role left by the departure of McGinest. A linebacker or shutdown corner needs to be picked at #21.
The Patriots can get a running back and corner later on in the draft, so this pick needs to be used to repair the damage done to the 3-4 defense by Willie's departure and Ted Johnson's retirement last season.

It's Gotta Be The Spikes Mother Foulker
Weighs In On Hall Ball: "'As far as I know, I've never heard of a team wanting the ball so badly,' Foulke said. 'It's one of those deals where I got the last out. I think that's kind of the common practice in baseball [to give the ball to the pitcher on the mound].'

Foulke said he had asked Mientkiewicz for the ball over the winter following the World Series but was turned down. Now that it's in Cooperstown, Foulke knows he has no chance to get his hands on it.

'Speaking of the Hall of Fame, do you know where my shoes are?' Foulke asked. 'I'm still looking to get back our stuff that went in after last year. We've got to find it. They said they're only keeping it for a year. I would imagine the White Sox got their display in there now. I want my stuff back.'"

 
BALL BUSTER
A bitter Mientkiewicz is glad World Series ball issue is resolved, but has no love for Larry Lucchino.

"Sure, I wanted to keep it. I was going to have the ball in the glove in a case. But once I knew I wasn't able to do that, my family and I, my dad and I sat down and he thought it would be cool if it went to the Hall of Fame. We agreed on that. It took some time prying away from them, but I'm glad it ended up where it belonged in the first place."

β€œMe, my family, went through hell and back. It should have been handled differently,” he said Tuesday. β€œI'm glad it's over. I can put my (World Series) ring back on with pride now.”

Mientkiewicz was grateful to Red Sox fans for their support and to owner John Henry and general manager Theo Epstein. He did not mention Lucchino, who had headed the team's fight for the ball. "

Stick A Foulke In Schill After 2007
"I've got another year left after this one and then I'm done. God willing I can stay healthy the next two years, have good years and win a World Series, but after that I'm done. I couldn't be more ecstatic about what I've been given a chance to do."

Unlike Clemens, this guy knows how to make a decision, so even if he pitches himself to a CY Young in 2007, that will likely be it.

I wish I had a pencil thin penis, so I could be like Barry Bonds.

Ventre: In every way, Babe was better than Bonds - Barry Bonds

THE NATION'S BOTTOM LINE ON BARRY

For those that still have Balco Blinders, or an ounce of sympathy for this guy:

Bonds has admitted under oath that he did take controlled substances, illegal in any State in this country. If you or I were caught using or dispensing these drugs without a prescription or license, we would see hard time. Now, Bonds claims that he was unaware that he was taking any type of steroid (Sure, and the Easter Bunny will be paying my mortgage for me this month). Even playing along with him, one can't get around the fact that even unintentional use of these enhancers still conjured up huge benefits that have put him in position to pass true legends Ruth and Aaron.

Prior to Balco, Bonds was a regular season MVP with a history of severe postseason esophageal narrowing. After 1998, entering the decline phase of baseballs natural cycle of life, he suddenly became the most dominant hitter of any era, hitting 70 homeruns, winning 2 batting titles, setting records for slugging percentage, and walking over 200 times in a season. He became such a postseason terror that he was relegated to being an automatic intentional walk, even with a man already on first base. Any way you rub this on, it is still unnatural.

THE BOYS WILL BE BACK IN TOWN???
A Deal for Roberts and Mirabelli would fix the Sox two biggest holes

A speedy backup that can play all 3 outfield positions and a catcher that has the confidence to catch Wake can be found in one deal...



PASSED BARD
For Josh Bard, Red Sox Life Goes On...For The Moment
When Wake is forced to go with his 79mph so that his catcher can settle down, something needs to change quickly...Faster than a Jhonny Peralta 3-run bomb left the yard last night.

Josh, Are You Shittin' Me???



Red Sox Sign Corky
Doug Mirabelli wanted to bet Peter Gammons that he would be back in Boston by May 15th...I wouldn't take that bet, Petey.

Just For Men - Sports Legends - Keith Hernandez

 

I'M KEITH HERNANDEZ
HE'S JUST FOR MEN
The 10 Spot rarely needs much of an opening to work in some Seinfeld quotes, but rarely has an opportunity been gift-wrapped as helpfully as this weekend's mini-sexist scandal involving the Mets broadcaster. During Saturday's Mets-Padres telecast, it seems, Hernandez was aghast to see a woman in the San Diego dugout. When it was pointed out to him later in the game that she was a team massage therapist, Hernandez didn't exactly back down. 'I won't say that women belong in the kitchen,' said the marvelously mustachioed one, 'but they don't belong in the dugout.' To quote Elaine Benes, 'I'd watch the third-base coach if I were you, because I don't think he's waving you in.' It looks like Hernandez blew right through that stop sign. Of course, we should have known he had a lot of nerve when he asked Jerry to help him move."

"COMEON...I Won The MVP IN '79"
Keith has shown himself to be a chucker. I guess that Padres attire that she had on wasn't a dead giveaway for the former MVP. He has said that he was trying to be funny with his "barefoot and pregnant" comments, but his humor seems to rival that of Johnny Burger King Foulke and Rocket "All the dry cleaners were closed when Korea played Japan in the WBC" Scientist Roger. Now go make me a turkey pot pie while I scratch my stomach.

Balco Barry Bonds, Day 1 of 162
"Here's just a sampling of San Diego's messages to Bonds: 'Barr-Roids,' 'Bonds 1st in Hall of Shame,' 'Cheaters Never Prosper,'' 'No Confess, No Hall of Fame,' 'Bonds Greatest Cheater of the Era,' 'Huge Head, Tiny Bat, Tiny Balls,' and, simply yet profoundly, '*''. "
