Red Sox Stink 2007

You know, being a Red Sox fan is great. It's made my life much easier. I don't worry about bathing, shaving, brushing my teeth and general hygiene. I drink more, more often. I find myself using bad language more and in inappropriate places. When I like someone, I call them a "shit", as in "he's good shit". I use weird phrases that don't make sense like "so ain't I" and "irregardless". I also opine on topics I know nothing about, like physics and politics in eastern Europe and rugby, and I pretend I know all the answers. I also find myself making bets on silly things, like what US Navy aircraft carrier is longer, betting a dollar and refusing to give up even if I am wrong. But the biggest impact is in my knowledge of sports. All of a sudden I have all the answers to what is wrong with the Sox.

So now on the this bunch of losers that lost again last night to the lowly Royals. When is Francona going to sit DL Drew and when is he going to put Tavarez in the bullpen. This team needs to hit better and get it going, otherwise it will be another year of watching other teams in the playoffs. It's KILLING ME. We now only have a 7 game lead and the Yankees are playing freakin great, even though they SUCK. We are 20-23 in the last 43 games and certain players are not pulling their weight. We need to get Ken Griffey or Torri Hunter to play the outfield. We need to trade Willy Mo Pena to Cincinnati and get Griffey which is a good deal for Cinci I think.

The one bright spot was Papelbon striking out the side in the 9th, with the fans going crazy. I know it wasn't a save situation, but we didn't fall farther behind. Love that guy. Best closer in the history of the game.
