the Red Sox are going to be insane this year

[Mass_Liberal]

great lineup all around, with a much better pitching staff w/ Schilling on board. Booyah casha, this is the year. We can really make it this time.


GO SOX!!!

[Renew Deal]

1. Until game 7 with 2 outs up 9-2.

Then it's over.

2. Hope Springs eternal.

It must be spring....we've got our Sox on!

It's got to be the year!!!

3. Don't start

I listened to their bullpen give up 6 runs to the Pirates. The Pirates!

I'm still smarting from last year....scars are still fresh.


sigh...yeah, I'm psyched, too.

4. The Sox year until Labor Day

that's when they usually start to fold. I guess they decided to play a little bit later last year and then folded.

5. No busted hearts this year!!

I've lost count of how many Series I've ignored completely just because I was so pissed off the Sox weren't in it. Then there were "good" years...
In '67 I carried a transistor radio held to my ear while I did my paper route, sometimes riding my bike one direction while looking in another in order to keep the reception clear until Bob Gibson broke my heart. In '75 I listened on Armed Forces Radio on the USS Ranger and got my heart broken again, with no beer available to bathe the wound...and I still turn the sound down on ESPN to this day so I don't have to listen to Joe Morgan talk.
Bucky F. Dent? The Yankees? Why...the heart fairly shattered.
I've got this jagged scar on the back of my hand because I was silly enough to be riding a bicycle watching a Sony Watchman when the ball went through Buckner's wickets which caused a sudden collision with a dumpster. Technically it wasn't over yet, but we knew...the sound of hearts breaking all over Red Sox Nation gave it away.
Our hearts take more of a beating from the Sox than from any mere mortal woman.
Funny thing. They always heal by Opening Day...Sox in '05!!

6. Until they take the field

THe curse of the Bambino lives on in A-Rod. THe Cubs will win the World Series before the Red Sox. And they have the Sports Illustrated curse AND the Billy Goat curse hanging over their head this year.

They're both screwed. Go Twins!!!
