Thursday Ramblings

Will the Red Sox release David Ortiz? He’s not hitting and doesn’t play defense. He’s wasting a roster spot right now. Theo Epstein and Terry Francona are hoping he starts to hit at least a little bit because they can’t keep him if he keeps hitting .180. Do you eat the $12 million and let him go? Do you keep a DH on your roster who can’t hit? Imagine that press conference with Theo announcing the Red Sox released Big Papi. … Every gambler wishes they had the luck of grandma Pat DeMauro, who last weekend set a record for longest craps roll of 4 hours and 18 minutes! She rolled 154 times at the Borgata in Atlantic City, breaking the previous record of 3 hours, 6 minutes in Vegas in 1989. Neither the Borgata nor DeMauro would say how much she walked away with but I’m thinking at least $500,000. … Tony Robbins is my boy. He was decent in “Shallow Hal” and his late-night infomercials on how to improve your life are always good for a chuckle or two. I think it’s sad, however, that Tony and other dudes like him basically target overweight people for needing life improvement. I mean, his Ultimate Edge DVD set or whatever it is has a big segment dedicated to losing weight. I’m actually kinda curious on what would happen if I folowed one of his programs faithfully from start to finish. Maybe I’d hit the lottery and marry Scarlett Johansson. … I’m never going to the 24-hour McDonalds on Coggeshall Street in New Bedford ever again. Not because the food sucks, it’s actually quite good unlike many places who dont give a crap late at night. It’s not because of the people who work there either, who aren’t wierd, mean and gross like other late-night places. It’s because after midnight, you can only get value meals, and they jack up the prices on them like crazy! It’s 10 bucks for a 20-piece nugget meal! It’s the only 24-hour grizzle place in New Bedford and it’s a shame the store is screwing everyone like this. … Jeff Dunham is Decent Community’s D-bag of the Year. Who’s Jeff Dunham and why is he a huge cocksmoker? E-mail him at jdunham4@hotmail.com and ask him yourself. … Happy 59th birthday to Jim Harris. Who? Kamala from old-school wrestling. His Kamala character was a big, dumb african guy, but did you know that Harris received an honory degree from the University of Arkansas last year? … Today marks two years since the passing of New England Patriots defensive end Marquis Hill. The Pats came so close to perfection that year that it almost felt like something was missing when they lost. Teammate at both LSU and with the Pats Jarvis Green wore Hill’s shoulder pads that season as a sign of remembrance. … There’s still a couple of days left in the Phish Ticket Contest! Anything can happen and there is no clear-cut winner yet so get some people to e-mail us some pics. Anyone can win a FREE TICKET! … You can now follow Decent Community on Twitter (Twitter.com/decentcommunity). More on this as soon as we get the hang of this Twitter thing, but so far we’ve been sharing brief nuggets of decency throughout the day.
