Oh, Youkie get angry, Youkie get mad

Dan Lamothe reminds us of last night's forecast:

... Porcello may not have the headhunter reputation that, say, Joba Chamberlain does, but at some point, it seemed obvious that someone was going to be on the business end of Category 5 Youkilis Firestorm, with an extra chance of helmet. Tonight was that night. ...

Youkilis for Mayor!

Or governor?

And can Canadians run for office in Massachusetts? Because Jason Bay deserves a good position.

Youk's Beard: Word.

Programming note: Tomorrow's game start at 4:15 p.m., which means it should be over in time for you to get to bed at a decent hour.

'So now their 500 million dollar zeppelin pulls into Fenway tonight'

Red considers the annual return of the pinstripes to Fenway Park tonight:

... Youkilis will kick somebody's ass. ... Of course, as He Whose Beard Scares Children is currently one of our hottest hitters, we can't risk a donnybrook-induced injury. So we can only hope that John Henry has already assembled the Youk Freedom Fighters -- an elite team of rustlers, cutthroats, murderers, bounty hunters, desperadoes, mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, half-wits, dimwits, vipers, snipers, con men, Indian agents, Mexican bandits, muggers, buggerers, bushwhackers, hornswagglers, horse thieves, bull dykes, train robbers, bank robbers, ass kickers, shit kickers and Methodists -- to do the dirty work. ...

Youk's beard has a Twitter feed

His breakfast with Youk

Jim Sullivan tries to take our mind off last night with his story of how he once had breakfast right behind Kevin Youkilis:

... As we walked past their booth, I said, "Hi, Yook!"

He looked up and said, "Hi, how are you?"

I then asked, "Just out of curiosity, what IS the breakfast of champions?"

He smiled and gave a little laugh. I persisted.

"No, seriously, what is it?" ...

You may call him Mr. Drew

NotErnie: Take it back. Take it all back:

Everything you said about JD Drew last year. If the playoff run didn't negate it, this season should. ...

Meanwhile, Cyn explains why Kevin Youkilis really is a horse's ass.

I never thought about Kevin Youkilis's initials before

Kristen marvels at Mr. Five Tools - Kevin Youkilis:

... And who's tied for the team lead in home runs with Manny and Papi? Yeah, that's right. The Big KY. What do you think I keep in this beard anyway, Cheetos and PBR? Hell no, this is a cover for the Awesome. The Awesome lives here. That's right. 100% pure, American-made Awesome. And you can't stop it now. ...

Soxaholix bursts into song:

He's thick in the face
But, oh, how he swings from the waist
That's Youkiliscious.

Youk and Lowell interrogate Gagne

Surviving Grady does the procedural:

... Gagne: The f@#k you laughin' at?

Youk: Steroids are supposed to make you good. You're not good. ...

Youk never know

Jo discovers she lives three doors down from Kevin Youkilis - and is amazed her husband never told her until he spotted a whole ton of signs congratulating the guy:

He has known all along, but of course being a Brit hadn't really appreciated the whole having a Sox player on your street excitement thing, until of course, he saw those signs last night.

Youk!

Remember, Youk has a blog, and he blogs yesterday's game:

To hit a home run in my first at-bat of my first playoff start was definitely a huge adrenaline rush. I was worried it was going to hit off the wall, so I started sprinting around first base and then I saw it go out. ...

Youk! In Coolidge Corner!

It's not enough that Marty got a Tedy Bruschi autograph at Brookline Booksmith today (after waiting in line for an hour), he also spotted Kevin Youkilis walking around with his wife and kid:

... And the guy managed to walk through town without being harassed or stopped for autographs or photos or anything - not even by me. I wanted to say hi, or take a picture with him, or ask how his knee was (he was walking with a brace on it), but I resisted. Although, we did give each other the "I know you"/"I know you know who I am" looks. ...

Kevin Youkilis has a blog

Yooooouuuuukkkkk, of course!

Maybe we can finally put all of this "Kevin Youkilis can't run" stuff to rest now.

Is Manny next?

Where's Mel Gibson now?

Of course somebody recorded Denis Leary and Lenny Clarke ranting about Mel Gibson and Kevin Youkilis on NESN last night. And of course he put it on YouTube (Update: And, of course NESN fairly quickly got it removed. Update update: Alternet posts it; tip to Berto):

... Yeah, where's Mel Gibson now? Where's Mel Gibson now? HUH? He's in rehab and YOUKILIS IS AT FIRST BASE. Alright Mel, ya happy, Braveheart? Huh? You see that grab, Mel? Huh? ... We got two Jews on this team, Mel! Where's your father now, Mel? ...

Not quite solid enough with an accelerated bat head

The Couch Potato asks and answers:

With the Yankees in such sad shape, is it really proper to gloat over a win? Um... YES!!!

Red urges a coup de grace:

... Now is the time to get all Nick Fury and His Howling Commandos on these guys. Before they regroup. Before they rebuild. Before Hideki Matsui gets fitted for his iron exo-skeleton and comes back as Great Mazinga [oh, like that sh-t's not going on in some secret, Steinbrenner-owned medical facility on the outskirts of NYC right now]. ...

Taking the longer view, Evan Brunelle analyzes the Sox lineup and ponders what to do with Youkilis once Crisp comes back.
