Surely This Cannot Be

Sox come from behind to win in the 9th.
Covelli Crisp puts together some offense.
Gagne... didn't suck.
Even more than that... Gagne- GOT THE WIN?

I feel like we've entered an alternate universe. Granted, our offense should have secured a W for Lester (zero runs, guys? come on!) -- but the Canadian Accent Mark didn't totally suck. WHOA.

Jon Lester looked fabulous - and I won't hear any arguments otherwise. Because there was all kinds of noise about how he's in a sophomore slump, not looking as sharp as his rookie season, and BLAH BLAH BLAH. Dude just beat cancer, and is making his first start back in the Fens - and so I'm inclined to cut him a little slack (especially when he holds the opposition to just one ER).

Bonus cute picture of hero Mike Lowell (thanks for that HR in the bottom of the 9th, sweetheart) getting mobbed with love by Big Papi and my baseball boyfriend Josh Beckett.

(plus, the Yankees got their ass handed to them by the Orioles, by a score of TWELVE TO NOTHING- always hilarious)

I am sure you thought the same thing I did when Harris hit the double "OH SHIT HERE WE GO AGAIN!!"

Great comeback win and much needed with the Skanks of NY losing.

If you were thinking "ARE YOU SHITTING ME?!?!? THE FUCKING DEVIL RAYS?!?!?!", then yes, I was thinking the same thing.

GREAT job, Sox.

Oh i was thinking that too. Kazmir is a great pitcher at times. I was just hoping it wasn't tonight. Kudos to the Sox for not giving up.

Jon Lester was awesome. It's sad he didn't get the win, but most important, he pitched his ass off. Good for him. He needed that. And the Sox needed this kind of win. Maybe there was a reason they didn't blow TB away (besides the great pitching of Kazmir). This win might be just what they need to get them going.

Freaking love the picture of Papi, Lowell and My Love. HAHA And who says Josh is always a hard ass??? ;)

I've figured out something that has been annoying me for weeks!

Josh Beckett looks like Kyle Lohse on a carb bender.

1. Why did it take me this long to accidentally stumble upon your secret blog hideout? You need to make your adoring fans aware of these things!
2. Clare hit the nail on the head and provided some fine imagery to boot. Now you must put your Beckett worshiping aside for a moment and agree she is 100% right.

Clare- Maybe. If Lohse grew 3 inches, and developed a Texas drawl, and doubled the size of his facial hair, and picked up 8 additional wins, and dropped 1.33 off his ERA, and began appearing on Cy Young watchlists... then, yes.

Steagles- I swear I wasn't trying to hide, I'll be sure and blow my own horn (ahem) more often. But I sure am glad to have you 'round these parts!
