As Redsocks lose again, Charlie Sheen offers "bitchin'" hope

Charlie Sheen -- whose recent hit TV show was named after the Yankees pitching rotation -- came to Boston yesterday to give aid and comfort to the struggling Hubville nine.

The hooker-bashing sitcom king and celebrity-from-birth Hollywood truth torpedo visited a Boston radio call in show where, hopefully, he would say something crazy that could generate a few more headlines and keep his Viagra-hazed, coke-is-it marathon afloat for another week.

No luck. He apparently is moving into a "grand old man" phase of evolution; he was asked what everyone in Boston wants to know: What's wrong with the Redsocks.

"I'd tell everybody to shut up, that they'll bounce back," Sheen said. "It's a long season and there's a ton of talent there and a really bitchin' hitters park they play in. Relax."


So there you have it. Relax. Bitchin park. Bounce back. He spake this as Boston was losing to Tampa 3-2.

Sad time. Charlie's losing his edge. Back in the old days, three weeks ago, he would screamed about putting tiger blood on Curt Schilling's socks, or buying Big Papi some quality bush. Now, it's "relax."

Well, he's right. It's way too early to beat on a hooker. Nevertheless... another day, another Boston loss. Adrian Gonzalez has a bad thumb. Carl Crawford has yet to hit. Dice K is totally fried, and everybody knows it. Lackey? Clayman? Dare we dream? How long can they stay down? Let's enjoy it while we can. Back in the good old days, three weeks ago, that's what Charlie would have done.
