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

Rob: The Celtics' annihilation of the Hawks in game 7 makes it hard to believe that the series even got to a 7th game.

Also: Here's why Shaughnessy didn't take a buyout: Sheer spite. "Your 2007-2008 Boston Celtics," he writes, because you know he's holding his nose not wanting a single thing to do with them.
