That Was Easy
Strange as it may sound coming from this DYE-hard Sox fan (uh, that was unnecessarily dirty) last night's drubbing at the hands of the hated Twins was relatively easy to watch. The last several games the SOX lost in MN were a result of 7th or 8th inning rallies by the Twinkies after the SOX had a comfortable lead most of the game.
The Twins did this baseball fan a favor by ripping the SOX heart out in the 4th with doubles, steals, 1st to 3rding guys until the mind of poor Javier was as addled as the late, great Bob Stinson at some Twin Cities bar on the meds and PBR.
Sorry Replacements fans.
I still believe the SOX will win one of the next two in MN...for all the good it will do them. These Twins play baseball - in general - better than my beloved WhiteSOX, but they do not play it as perfectly as they have in the past. There are holes and the SOX might get lucky and catch the Twins in one between now and Thursday.
Even if the SOX outlast the Twins and win the surprisingly meh to bad AL Central, they are only forestalling the inevitable disappointing end to this season. Those who read this blog know I love the SOX but I also embrace reality and all the evidence tells me that they will fall to the Rays, bosox or Angels in the playoffs.
On the other hand, I really love some of these 08 SOX even though their offense is pretty one dimensional and their pitching is spotty and streaky.
NOT THAT YOU SICK BASTARDS!
And their bullpen (esp the set up guys) take fans on the kinds of adventures that would give Indiana Jones a fucking grabber...
Who am I kidding? I am nothing if not a forestaller of the inevitable (see my bank account and/or investment portfoolio) - GO SOX AND BEAT THESE FUCKING TWINS! YOU DESERVE TO BE ELIMINATED FROM POST SEASON PLAY BY A TEAM OF OVERPAID, FAT SCUMFUCKS LIKE BOSTON rather than the steady, old-school, well-disciplined Twins of MN and the fine brand of baseball they play.
