Gold Glove Love for Sox


Adrian Gonzalez Dustin Pedroia #15 of the Boston Red Sox reacts after he hit a three-run home run with teammates Jarrod Saltalamacchia #39 of the Boston Red Sox and Jacoby Ellsbury #2 of the Boston Red Sox, who were on base,  and Adrian Gonzalez #28 of the Boston Red Sox in the sixth inning at Fenway Park September 13, 2011 in Boston, Massachusetts.
(Salty, you're ruining the picture.  Get out of the way, you didn't win a Gold Glove.)

Last night was one of the stupidest, most ridiculous television programs I have ever witnessed in my life: The Gold Glove Awards.

I couldn't believe it when I saw it.

ESPN actually had a show for it that was an exact replica of a regular award show.

It was just like the Emmys.  Dudes in suits, golden awards everywhere, announcing the winner and how many times they've won the award, John Kruk being all fat and eating food when he's not supposed to, etc.

It was so pathetic and the worst part is I watched a good part of it.  Pathetic.

More importantly, Jacoby Ellsbury, Adrian Gonzalez, and Dustin Pedroia all took home a Gold Glove.  And by "took home" I mean "someone said they won it on TV and they probably had no clue."

But I absolutely hate rooting for Sox players to win Gold Gloves because that usually means they didn't win the World Series.

So congrats, guys, Gold Gloves are cool.

But you know what's really cool?

World Series rings.
