You know I'm not much of a baseball fan but when it comes to the post season and when it comes to the Red Sox, I'm in line. It's good to have a little hometown pride and some community spirit and all that jazz..
Except I really have say that
tony is on the mark here when he says the sox have played some sloppy baseball. He is right on when he complains about kim and, though he didn't mention it, he would probably (rightfully) complain about Ramirez and his showboating stroll to first after his three-run homer on Monday night.
Red Sox - get your act together. Get your asses in gear. Stop flubbing around and chewing your nails and bumbling around like schoolgirls. Tony is right: The Yanks won't take all your half-assed shit sitting down, and they won't take 8 9th-inning 2-out pitches quite as poorly as the A's did. They won't.
The Yanks will be happy enough to stroll right over the Sox, squash them, and ride on into the World Series.. the ONE HUNDREDTH WORLD SERIES.. without even a second thought.
I don't always agree with Tony's sports politics.. especially when it comes to baseball.. but Tony is right tonight. Stop playing like sallies. Stop acting like petulant little children. Stop running into eachother in the outfield. Stop running through 5 pitchers in the last two innings when the second and third were doing fine.
And Tony is right,
whoever thought of that gay ass "cowboy up" needs some beer thrown at him.
