He plays ping pong too! And he kicked Youks butt and won the Golden Paddle.

Some great stories from Washington, when the guys went to visit the wounded soldiers at the Walter Reed Hospital.  Josh Beckett said it was the best part of the trip.  The guys spent more time asking the soldiers questions than the other way around.

The Sox won the game against BC yesterday. 24 to Zip.  If you read this mornings Herald it looks like Jocoby was the only guy playing. Almost every picture is of him.  There are a couple of Papi signing  Autographs for the kids from BC, but none of him playing.

At least the games have begun.

In Patriots news today, Tedy Bruschi is coming back next season. It's almost worth watching football. No, maybe not.  But we won't have to store away the shirts.

It's Friday, it's cold (8 degrees) and there is snow on the way.  But the weekend is almost here.  Have a nice one.
