There's a Rainbow 'Round My Shoulder. And the Sweaty Footsteps of Kevin Youkilis Right Behind Me.

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 10:23:00 -0500

Don't look now, but the Red Sox are just five measly games behind your team, you squirrely bastard. And as you hit up the Angels in Anaheim, where you're 0-3 this season and 5-17 since 2005, we'll be visiting the lowly Royals. No, we won't take anything for granted in our series against Kansas City, but I do have a feeling that the upcoming weekend series at Yankee Stadium -- the one most of the New York media laughed off as inconsequential just a month ago -- will have greate...

Kevin Youkilis: Narrow World of Sports

Fri, 21 Aug 2009 16:30:23 -0500

I definitely failed by not posting this video a few weeks ago when it was released. Hilarity (by Kevin Youkilis.. not that other boring Seinfeld guy.)

Video: Kevin Youkilis Interviewed By Seinfeld Producer/Writer

Mon, 17 Aug 2009 13:45:00 -0500

With the Red Sox off Monday, here's a quick Kevin Youkilis fix to get you through...for at least three minutes anyway. The Boston first baseman was interviewed by longtime Seinfeld producer/writer Peter Mehlman as part of Mehlman's comedy web series, "Peter Mehlman's Narrow World of Sports." Youkilis does a surprisingly good job at playing the straight man for Mehlman's brand of humor which is less Kenmore Square and more Upper East Side of Manhattan. If you're a...

They just want it more in the minors...

Some of you weren't too impressed with Kevin Youkilis' charging of the mound video, so we went through the farm system to see if we could call up something with a little more potential, and this A-ball skirmish (in Dayton, Ohio, no less) seems to fit the bill.

BoSox Cap Can't Cover Fan's Shame, *****

Fri, 14 Aug 2009 02:00:00 -0500

Anyone know what Kevin Youkilis did after being ejected the other night? Because a Massachusetts man was arrested for taking a walk wearing sneakers, a Red Sox cap...and nothing else. Jason Dill is no rookie at this, because before he was arrested this week, police had been receiving reports for months of a man in Red Sox gear talking a walk with a count of only two balls on him. Back in April we began to receive a series of complaints about an individual in a specific vicinity of Silver St...

Rick Porcello > Kevin Youkilis

Thu, 13 Aug 2009 07:47:00 -0500

For all the tough guy juice Kevin Youkilis oozes out, I found Tuesday Nights fracas to be delightfully delicious. First off Mr. Youk gets hit squarely in the back, not really something out of the ordinary for a player who has been hit nearly 40 times during the past three seasons. Yet, Youk decided the time was now to fight. The time to fight came when he was going to fight a pitcher who should be a SOPHOMORE IN COLLEGE.So Youk charges the mound. All the while Rick Porcello has his hands up i...

Kevin Youkilis Is Bad At Fighting

Kevin Youkilis, who gets hit by pitches all the time, got a little heated when it happened again last [...]

DO NOT BEAN KEVIN YOUKILIS. EVER.

Wed, 12 Aug 2009 09:03:43 -0500

Here’s video of that big brawl between the Red Sox and Tigers that happened earlier this week when the Sawks’ Kevin Youkilis took a fastball in the back, and Youk is so damn scaring looking that he might has well be jumping out of a flaming van wearing leg irons and an orange jump suit. [...]

Youkilis Gets Tossed: LOVE. IT.

Just So You Know...Nobody Likes You

I'll have more substantive stuff later in the week. However, I couldn't help but find pleasure in the fact that Kevin Youkilis got tossed during a brawl last night against the Tigers. The folks at Fack Youk capture most of my sentiment. Here's some video of Yook after he charges the mound and throws his helmet at Porcello like a sissy-pants man.

Without going into a discertation on the many reasons I've come to loathe this player, he solidified those thoughts when I saw him at Fenway earlier this year against the Mets. During a tight game on a two-strike count Johan Santana hit Youkilis. This is not a new phenomenon as Yook has a tendency to hunch over the plate and do his whole ridiculous pre-pitch routine. What drove me nuts was his reaction.

He, of course, took umbrage to the pitch and started staring down Santana and pointing, virtually stopping a few steps towards first base. It was enough to get the home plate ump playing casual interference and Johan to give a genunie hands-in-air shrug as if to say: "Really? Are you kidding me?" It was a fleeting moment but enough to show all I needed to know about Yook and confirm that all the reasons people hate him are completely warranted.

I'll be keeping an ear out to hear any pearls of bitchiness the big guy throws out in the days to come. The helmet tossing, too? C'mon. Not confident enough in your 6'1, 220 frame to charge the mound? You need to throw a helmet as well? Reminds me of this guy. Pathetic.

And Starring Kevin Youkilis as the Rampaging Rhino

Wed, 12 Aug 2009 06:31:00 -0500

As I have long been suspected of not actually existing, a theory several people (including certain ex-girlfriends, SG commenters and Denton) continue to perpetuate, I felt an unusually healthy rush of adrenaline as I headed off to last night’s game at Fenway, where I watched the goings-on from the Budweiser deck. “At last,” I thought, “a chance to prove to the masses that there is a Red, and that he does drink, throw down and work the banjo like a demented genius.” Equipped with several Sharp...

Video: Rick Porcello with an MMA takedown on Kevin Youkilis

Tue, 11 Aug 2009 20:57:00 -0500

Kevin Youkilis had been hit by a pitch in two straight games by Detroit pitching and wasn't going to take it anymore. So he charged the mound after being hit by Rick Porcello tonight, threw his helmet towards the pitcher and then attempted to tackle him. Take a look at what happened next. You can see Porcello is thinking, "What the hell are you doing man?" as Youkilis is charging out to the mound. Then Porcello does the nice plant-and-turn throw. Great stuff.
