There’s Always Tonight
There’s no denying it: getting swept by the Yankees in the waning moments of the 2009 season, and watching any glimmer of hope of an AL East victory drain away while the Evil Empire pops the corks off of champagne bottles in the other dugout is not fun. It is the very definition of ‘opposite of fun’. If ‘opposite of fun’ had an entry in the dictionary, this would be the picture beside it:
Of course, that picture would also be beside ‘disturbing imagery that cannot be unseen’.
Having to endure a pinstriped celebration is just a fact of life. For now. But another fact of life is this: TWO. Two is the magic number left for the Red Sox to claim a playoff spot of their own. A spot that could be claimed anytime in the next seven days… but that might be claimed as early as tonight, if fortune and fate align. And if anybody can gallop up and hogtie fortune while wrestling fate into submission, it’s Josh Beckett.
So let them have their fun down in the Bronx – it stings, but it ain’t the death knell for Boston by any stretch of the imagination. As the great philosopher Jason Varitek once said:
I don’t really give a shit about what they’ve done. I’m worried about what we’re doing.
Indeed, good sir. Indeed.
Word, Tek.
That was the suck, tho. No doubt about it. However, it’s an all new season in October and we’ll kick ass.
after giving that quote, Varitek proceeded to ground into a double play.
It scares me that I’m starting to find Adam’s negativity endearing.
Yes, yesterday sucked. But it didn’t matter and our day will hopefully come today.
Come on Adam, he can’t even do that anymore.
Really it should have been “after that he let a ball pass and he let two runs score or let two runners get into position to score.”
I couldn’t watch after Ellsbury got out. I had to turn off the TV.
Adam does make the Game Day posts funny.
Yea, it did indeed suck.. I was at the game on friday, and never seen soo many fights break out… 5 ppl were thrown out near my section… I did see one good thing however: http://twitpic.com/jit0k
True, Tek.
Question… Where’s Josh Beckett??
@MexSox: Nevermind, it is back spasms :/
