Where's Bill Murray, because it sure feels like "Groundhog Day" around these parts. It has become a yearly tradition, as kids go back to school, the Red Sox go back to dropping out of the pennate race. Oh well, there's always next year, right? I am so goddamned sick of hearing that! Every conversation I have with anyone concerning this team ends with one of us uttering those words. Season tickets for the Sox should come with a complimentary phycolagical evaluation. I can't imagine anything else driving so many people crazy on a yearly basis.
Luckily, the Duke has a solution for all this turmoil; he fired the pitching coach. Nice job Dan, way to earn that big paycheck. Maybe if the Red Sox' bats could score more than one run (or none, as was the case Sunday night), these pitchers wouldn't have to be next to perfect.
It was amazing to listen to the sports recap shows on Sunday night. These supposed Red Sox fans actually wanted Mike Mussina to pitch a perfect game against the BoSox. You wanted to see history, you wanted to whiteness one of the greatest feats in the game, you make me sick! You call Everett the "anti-hero" for getting the only hit in the game, I call him our savior. The Red Sox have never been on the losing side of a perfect game and thanks to that "nut," they still haven't.
Probably the most disheartening aspect of last night's game was the comment by Nomar Garciaparra. "That's why no one wants to ****ing play here." Great, the man who never, ever speaks out picks now to spread his words of wisdom. Now you know things have turned bad. I wonder what those perspective buyers are thinking now. Hey, I wonder if the Expos are on the market.
Those Yankees just keep on sucking
