Bravo Red Sox…ZZZZZZZ

First off, let me give credit where it’s due, congrats Red Sox. You went through the hapless Angels, the choked out Indians, and are probably going to spank the Colorado Rockies now that they lost their MOJO. I love Big Papi, Youkilis, Lowell, Beckett, Varitek and am even happy for Lugo. We all know how I feel about Drew and Manny (hate them just in case you didn’t know). However, I will put my emotions aside like a good journalist and take my hat off to the Sox. To come from 3 down is a great feat. I knew it was over as soon as it came back to Boston, and by the looks of the Indians, they knew it too. Beckett is definitely the MVP of the series and will probably continue his masterpiece in the World Series. You guys will probably win in 6-ish and I will have to write another article about how good the Sox are. But until then, LET’S GO ROCKIES LET’S GO, CLAP, CLAP, CLAPCLAPCLAP!!!

I Hate J.D. Drew

Out of all the players to step up in Game 6, why did it have to be J.D. Drew? My most hated player currently, and possibly of all time, Drew came up big in game 6, going 3-5 with 5 rbis and a grand slam. Thanks for showing up Indians; C.C. Sabathia, what a joke. I finally figured out what the C.C. stands for: CHOKE CITY!!! I’ve said it before, Drew is the epitome of the modern day players and everything that’s wrong with athletes today. I guess I gotta cheer for the Rockies at this point. Unfortunately, by the time the Rockies come back from their week long hiatus, they will be out of their groove and probably come out flat. If there’s a god, the good guys should win, unless the Sox are being set up for a bigger embarrassment in the World Series. If that’s the case, just give me a sign, any sign so I can sleep comfortably…. well, I’m waiting…

I’d Like to Thank the Little People…

Just wanted to share my second place trophy in my Yahoo.com Fantasy Baseball League, team name THE VIG. It was a tough year, with many ups and downs, but at the end, sure I only came in second, not a spot I’m used to but my team of Big Papi, Jimmy Rollins, Chipper Jones, Carl Crawford (trade for Johan Santana), Cole Hamels, Ted Lilly, and a lot more talent brought me to where I am today. They played their hearts out for me (except for Carlos Zambrano) and I just wanted to say thanks, I haven’t forgotten about you guys.  We have a lot of rebuilding to do and a busy off-season but we should be able to return to the promise land.

Going, Going, Gagne

Enter the the 11th inning, tied at 6 a piece. The Indians just retired the 3 headed monster in Ramirez, Ortiz and Lowell. Indians up to bat and pitching for the Sox…back from a steroid cleanse, Eric “game over” Gagne. Terry Francona used up all his good pitchers; Schilling, Okajima, Timlin and of course Pap (2 innings btw). Did the Sox really think that inserting Gagne was the answer. Francona has been making all the right calls until this one. Gagne got the 1st out, then walked and gave up a single. 2/3 of an inning later, Sox are down 7 and the Indians are headed home, mission accomplished. Now you can start worrying Boston fans, because up next is Dice-K vs. Jake Westbrook. Dice has been anything but consistent lately, he can make up for it with a stellar start. All Boston has to do is win one of three in Cleveland and reclaim home field. Chances are they will, but then again weirder things have happened.

RED SOX POUND INDIANS

Game 1 of the ALCS and the Red Sox quashed all that talk about upsets and C.C. and team of destiny.  The Indians looked overmatched, overpowered and frankly over it.  C.C. Sabathia, cy young candidate lasted a measley 4.1 innings and 8 runs.  HUH? What the heck happened hear?  This guy has cruised through the regular season and the playoffs. This is when it counts, that’s the difference.  So Indians, go back to the drawing board and figure out what went wrong b/c if not, this series will be over before you know it.  As for the Sox, you beat my Angels, but I gotta give you props, the best team keeps on rolling.  Either that, or it’s that Red Sox mystique.
