I know MANY baseball analysts were choosing the Rockies to beat the Phils, but whom are you going to listen to? The infinite wisdom of Peter Gammons or moiré? Cliff Lee was absolutely out of his mind yesterday and the only performance I can think of that was any better than that was Josh Beckett in the World Series against the Yankees while on the Marlins. The one surprise for me yesterday was the Dodgers, when Randy Wolf is your Game 1 starter you should be in rough shape but they managed to eke one out. Now they have Kershaw and "public enemy #1" (his curveball) to deal with and that is a tall task for anyone, even the immortal Albert Pujols. If anyone honestly thought that the Twins were going to win that game, let alone be competitive in the series, did the outcome silence those outlandish comments? The only thing that could relate to this game is that little dog in cartoons that keeps coming up to the big dog and asking, "huh, huh, do ya, do ya."
The time has finally come Red Sox fans in T-minus 4 hours it will be the first pitch of the 2nd season, the one this team was built for. The one person that I am looking to for an absolutely gargantuan post season is David Ortiz. This is where/why He makes the big bucks. And I will guarantee that he hits .400 this post season. He is locked in and is an absolute force to be reckoned with. If John Lackey has children, watch out, because Big Papi will be eating them.
As you know when the Lefty is on the mound, Cap'n and Cokes all around. Don't give me this we have to work in the morning bullsh*t. Grab the largest cup that you can find in your house and throw 4 ice cubes in it fill it three-quarters of the way with Captains splash it with your favorite brand of cola, (mine happens to be Market Basket because its 69 cents and aside from the awesome number, I'm dirt poor) and drink up. The best lefty in baseball is on the mound, and the Red sox are going for series lead. There's only one goal now, and there's only one October!
Stay Tuned
