When I’m not watching the Red Sox or feasting on meat, I like to watch me some NASCAR.  Being a Sox fan, of course I cheer for the Roush-Fenway racing squad, which is 50% owned by the Red Sox ownership team.  My favorite Roush-Fenway driver is #99 Carl Edwards, who has 3 wins this year and was just edged-out last week by M&M’s Kyle Busch because the race ended on a caution behind them.  If you guys haven’t had the chance to check Carl Edwards out this year yet, you can watch him win the Nationwide race tonight on ESPN and the Sprint Cup race tomorrow night on TNT.  Just flip to the race during the Sox-O’s commercials or when the bottom of the Sox order comes up.  Like Manny, Edwards is a dynamic athlete.  He does what it takes to win in the clutch and then he celebrates in everyone’s face by doing a backflip off his car after the race.  Edwards is also jacked and dates athletes and models like swimmer Amanda Beard.  And if you don’t happen to like Edwards, check out the other Fenway drivers like #17 DEWALT car Matt Kenseth or #6 AAA car David Ragan.

So NASCAR is in my territory this week in Chicago.  I asked my dad if we could go, but he told me our truck broke down and we had to get rid of it.  Since we don’t have a truck, we can’t go because my mom’s Volkswagen is not an appropriate car to be seen in at a NASCAR race. Makes sense, I guess. So I have my TV ready to watch both Clay Buchholz and Carl Edwards tear things up this weekend!

After losing 3-0 to the Jays tonight, the umpires decided to let the Sox keep playing for some mysterious reason (RemDawg thinks Ryan balked).  Soon after, Jed Lowrie struck out and the Sox lost again.  Must have been the weird NESN camera angle.
