Found this in my new Western Styles Magazine.

What does it mean "to cowboy up "?
That's easy to explain,
As every rodeo cowboy knows, it means
To hell with the mud, the blood, and the rain.
There's a job to do, so just get to it,
And to hell with the heat, the fear, and the pain.
Forget the sleep you missed last night,
Or the entry fee you lost last week.
There's another rodeo down the road,
And a pinch between your gum and cheek.
You're drinking lukewarn coffee from a paper cup. Yuck!
That's what it means "To Cowboy Up !"

If your into the Spring Training spirit, you should pick up some Mickey's FreshRoasted Peanuts. That's the brand of peanuts that they serve at Spring Training. Well, that's what they have at City of Palms Park (Red Sox Spring Training Stadium) and at  Lee County Sports Complex (Minnesota Twins Spring Training Stadium)

Note: The 4oz bag that they serve at Ballparks have 640 calories.That's 160 calories per person and the bag serves 4, but seriously are 3 people going to eat out of 4oz bag?

Don't expect to find Fenway Franks at the City of Palms Park. Dietz & Watson is theOfficial Frank of the City of Palms Park.

The Boston Red Sox just lost six in a row including four against the Yankees. Will they come back to be contenders in October?

Keep in mind that is its still early August and there is plenty of time to get the team together to make a run for the playoffs. This is not the time to panic.

According to the Red Sox Fact of the Day calendar:

Japanese people that are born between April 2, 1980 and April 1, 1981 (Japan's 1980 Fiscal year) are referred to as the "Matsuzaka Generation." Daisuke Matsuzaka was born September 13, 1980.

Here's the latest quote from Daisuke Matsuzaka from the Associated Press:

"If I keep going like this, I have no right to be a part of this rotation"

Matsuzaka was recently diagnosed with a mild right shoulder strain. (June 21, 2009) You can follow the latest Daisuke Matsuzaka news on Google news.

Yesterday, the Boston Red Sox Page Calender had this Red Sox Trivia:

Williams College has produced some big names in baseball, including former MLB Commissioner FayVincent and Yankee Owner GeorgeSteinbrenner. What original Red Sox player attended Williams College?

Answer:

Ted Winters, "ThePitching Professor"

Not sure if that's a misprint, I wasn't able to find any TedWinters on Google. Ted Williams went to Amherst College.
