Red Sox Stink 2007

I woke up this morning with a slight hangover and said to my imaginary friend “I had the weirdest dream, the Yanks lost by like 16 runs to the Sox.”

What the (expletive deleted) happened? Charles Dickens had it right, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair. After Friday night’s train wreck by the Sox, after all, 5 singles and only one run scored, TWO people sent to their baseball death by the Sox third base coach…Tony Womack and Canu, hell, I could have thrown those two guys out, what was he THINKING, I was flying high. Saturday all morning I listened to WEEI and people called in and bashed just about everything that was Red Sox. It was wonderful. I started to get some of that Yankee-mojo back. I was ready to kick things up a notch on this silly anti-Red Sox site. Then the Yanks got a good old ass-whoopin and I am back down in the basement with the radio off and no intention of watching the news.

Hey, these things happen. Even a blind squirrel can find a nut. I think most people in the baseball world realize yesterday was an aberration and Friday was more in line with a systemic team problem. Let’s just hope tonight’s game will return the universe to it’s normal pattern and Wells pitches like the fat drunk I have learned to love. And let’s just hope that the Sox spent all their extra bullets yesterday and come up flat today.

Well oh well, another weekend Yanks/Sox series. Other than hot August or September weather thrown in, it doesn’t get any better than this. Tonight won’t be anything exceptional with Wakefield pitching, but I wonder how many Yankee players will get plunked by Sox pitchers. While all things point to a Yankee success, the Yanks on a strong roll since May 6, the Sox dropping like a shot duck, I still worry. A three game sweep by either team can happen and we all know it. I just hope Goober Francona sticks with his “gut” and keeps Millar in as long as possible. Hey Goober!! As a Yankee fan, keep Kevin Millar in the game, all innings, all the time. Lately he has become my best friend.

Living in Boston I never get to see Yankee games. I usually carry my wireless broadband laptop around with Gamecast running, but it’s not the same. And I know they offer live broadcasts of the game through a MLB package, but I have yet to try it out. So the only times I get to see the Yanks are rare ESPN games or when they play the Sox. So here’s (me pretending to life my beer) to a great series, may the Sox continue to suck.

ESPN reported today that the Red Sox ace Curt Schilling could be out 12 weeks, with a return expected around the all-star break in mid July. Too effing bad. My heart goes out to the guy. The sad thing is 100% of Red Sox fans will say that by risking his career and pitching on a damaged ankle, it was worth winning the World Series. Hell, I would say the same thing if I hadn’t won a title in 85 years. But now we see the plugs popping out and the Sox don’t look so good anymore. The closer is shaky at best. Millar can’t hit, Edgar is having a hard time, Damon has cooled off. Just when they need their big gun back it looks like they will have to make due for another 2 months without. Too effing BAD I hope they don’t win another game. Their smug unprofessional attitude kills me. I hate them so much

The Yankees get beaned all the time. Players have to get hit by the other team's pitchers and rarely do anything in return. Well, last night that changed. Good for you Quantrill for standing up for your team. I'll admit it should have been done to the first batter in the inning, and you might have drilled the scrub in his thigh or something, but this is what helps create a "team" out of 9 superstars.

Now we just need to do this when the Sox start plunking the players. Then things might change a little.

Goodbye Red Sox lead, it was nice knowing you.

Ok, I am done taking the high road with the Sox. Since they undeservingly won the Series last fall, I have been saying stupid things like “Their fans deserve it” and “Without a salary cap they were going to win it eventually” and “please kill me slowly.” But I am sick of the Sox, Red Sox Nation, the good feeling among the media, goober Francona and everyone wearing Red Sox crap. It’s out of control. THIS TEAM IS NOT THAT GOOD. They are not a bunch of likable guys, they are a bunch of idiots. And not the loveable idiots they make themselves out to be. They are idiots in the bad sense of the word. Millar is a redneck from California, not a cowboy from Texas. Manny could care less about playing. Schilling is a loudmouth jerk. Wells wants to be in NY. Faulk is teetering on the edge every game. Damon is a narcissistic self centered Neanderthal. My only hope is that this terrible and underperforming team will self implode while the Yanks continuing to right their ship.

Trust me, I am not going to say one word about the Yanks right now. Sort of like talking about a no hitter in the 7th. Keeping quiet until we are clear of danger zone. But things have gotten awfully quiet on WEEI and ESPN lately.
