I know I've been MIA for awhile- and it's not by choice, believe me! Turns out I'm crazy sick, and as soon as my crack medical team sorts me out, I'll be back. Hopefully, in the next couple of days. For now, I'm officially on the DL.
To everyone that I owe a return email or a comment response or anything else, I'll get caught up as soon as I return. See y'all soon!
It's a whole new day.
The sun is shining.
The birds are singing.
The Sox didn't lose yesterday.
It seems the Sox decided to tank a few (ok, five of six) games while I was horrifically sick. Which is convenient for a couple of reasons- either (a) I was way too ill to even watch the games, much less be conscious enough to agonize over the scores (never thought that would be possible, but I was just that bad), or (b) I was already sick anyway, so the losses couldn't really make me much sicker. Silver linings, people!
Thursday will hopefully have been a recharge day, when zip was restored to our step, when strike zone control was restored to our bullpen, when pop was restored to our bats, when Cinco Ocho was found passed out in the penthouse of the Palms in Vegas and sobered up and put back where he belongs, when Gagne was tied up and hidden inside an equipment locker, when magic fairy dust was sprinkled on Manny to make him good as new.
Friday brings all kinds of great things. A new chance with a new team in a new series. Bonus points because that team is Tampa Bay and the series will be in the Trop. But more importantly, Friday means that it's time for this:
If he has to, Josh will start, relieve and close. He will catch and call the game. He will play 1st base, he will cover the hot corner. He will patrol the outfield. He will manage the team, he will ump the game, he will clip on a tie and giggle with Remy about stupid shit in the NESN booth, he will put on the mascot costume and do a stupid dance, HE WILL SELL THE BEER, PEOPLE. He will make shit happen. Let's just not force him to do everything, Red Sox- let's everyone get back to the business of rulin' the hell out of the AL and let Josh concentrate on working people over at the plate.
