Metametametadata

I Pledge allegiance to the Sports Guy, and the Boston sports for which he stands.

I'm not supposed to be posting to this weblog.

Someone has started spamming my open comments, sending stuff like:

"That's interesting, did you try levitra? Here's the website ... "

So I went into emergency action. I installed wordpress on my hosting server and migrated the data (entries and comments -- minus spam) to the new wordpress database tables. You can check it out at weblog (dot) metametadata (dot) net. I need to fix the wrodpress presentation template and shut this blog down. By that I mean redirect all addresses and stop people from sending comments.

It's not like I care about the off topic comments as spam per se. I think they're funny. But, they're going to very quickly exhaust my server space. Some of the entries had hundreds of comments. So, until I get all this done, no more entries.

Except this one. I can't resist the Sports Guy. From his most recent article:

Of every development this season, the connection between Schilling and the Fenway fans has been the happiest. He's one of us. There's no other way to say it. If he wasn't a professional athlete, you can imagine him posting on message boards, calling radio stations and gulping down flat beer at games. For that reason, he resonates with the locals in a "Bird and Neely" kind of way.

(Quick story: When WEEI's Butch Stearns fanned the flames of a possible Pedro-Schilling feud last week -- just another Boston media guy trying to create something from nothing -- someone named "Curt from the Car" called in and gave him the Ralphie Treatment. It was Schilling. He had been driving around, stumbled across the show and felt obligated to defend himself. Many have called it the greatest WEEI moment since Pitino's "Larry Bird isn't walking through that door" tirade -- Schilling just savaging Stearns and his co-hosts, then hanging up on them like an angry girlfriend. Now this was a guy meant to play in Boston.)
