NEW YORK (AP) -- Jason Giambi and Andy Phillips each hit a three-run homer in a seven-run second inning Monday night, and the New York Yankees battered old nemesis Josh Beckett in a 13-5 rout of the Boston Red Sox.


The article forgot to mention that my dear dear Manny Ramirez failed to catch a hit in the 3rd inning, allowing us to score two runs..

tsk tsk Manny.

BOO YA!! Get ready for tonight's repeat..

Pool w/ filter: $ 59.00
Pool chemicals: $ 20.00
Pool cover (still to be purchased): $ 47.00

$47.00 DOLLARS...??!! ARE U PEOPLE OUT OF UR FUCKING MINDS??!!!

It's a Solar Pool Cover, meant to keep the water warm. In this blazing weather, does it look like I need the water to remain warm. I just don't want twigs and unwanted things to drop into my pool...

So for the time being my dad has come up with a nifty cover...and Old Queen sized mattress sheet...tied down by strings to make 'pasteles' and rocks...sweet...should've seen him tying the thing on...in the dark...and obviously in a very very cheery mood, until one of the strings broke:

"PIECE OF SHIT STRING...U NEED TO HURRY UP AND BUY A COVER FOR THIS POOL OR HUGE INSECTS ARE GONNA FALL IN AND U'RE GONNA HAVE TO EMPTY THE POOL AGAIN, CUZ THEY WILL ATTACK MISS C".

I wasn't aware that we lived in the Amazons.
