"Maybe I'll Have Some Moose Jerky"

Just in case you missed the "Moose incident" yesterday at Safeco Field, Barstool Sports has posted this YouTube video of Coco Crisp's run in with the Mariner Moose.Had he been hurt, I'm 100% sure that Coco would have been instantly added to ESPN's All-Bizarre Injury Team. What could be more bizarre than an injury caused by a collision with a Moose on an ATV? Here are a few quotes about the incident (from the Seattle Times):

Coco Crisp: "I believe avoiding that moose was the most athletic thing I did all day today. I mean, I didn't even see him. I just heard the loud vroom. I jumped back and kind of just rolled with the punch...Maybe I'll have some moose jerky."

Terry Francona: "I was told it looked like something from 'Naked Gun."

JD Drew: "How many times a day do you have to go out there and check for traffic? Coming out of the dugout, you have to look left and look right? I mean, it's not like you're crossing the highway or jaywalking or anything."

Holy Coco!

One day after spectacular catch #1 was overshadowed by a series of "unfortunate game events," Coco Crisp turned in a gem of a catch again last night. Just look at that full body extension! He must be sipping the Red Bull again.

Josh Beckett is 6-0? The last Red Sox pitcher to start 6-0 was Roger Clemens in 1991. Count me as a former Beckett skeptic who would not have predicted that. This pitching staff is really fun to watch.

Tonight! Matsuzaka (3-2, 4.36) vs Ramirez (2-1, 4.41) 7:05 ET / 4:05 PT

The Mariners local broadcast will be on TV here so we'll have a rare opportunity to watch a Red Sox game at a bar in downtown Seattle. Happy Hour starts at 4:05 PT today. Root beer for all!

PS: My pal Dan has a nice blog post up about his road trip to catch a Portland Sea Dogs game in Maine. Red Sox prospects? $7 seats? $3 Ice cream sundaes? I wanna go.
