I can see it now…

The Red Sox have taken the lead and win the World Series…OOPS, wrong season wrong year. That is just a dream. The last game of the abysmal, heartbreaking, disappointing 2012 season will be played tonight, in the Bronx, against the mortal enemy, the New York Skankees. The Cowboys of 2003 are long gone. So are the Idiots of 2004. Sadly there is only one player of the former Red Sox Nation that is now a mortal enemy, Derek Lowe. Yes, Landsdowne Lowe is now in pinstripes. This 2012 season cannot get anymore depressing than that.

So go Orioles, BEAT those overpaid Bronx Bombers and win the World series against the Nationals. Least that is my dream for this year. The postseason will be interesting. The underdogs have risen above and will be playing the final games of the year. I will be depressed but always hopeful. As a faithful of Red Sox Nation, there is always next year.

About baseball

1-Sept 2012

Last night my favorite baseball team, the red sox, lost horribly to the Oakland A’s. In a combination of bad pitching and former red sox players (they were on the A’s), the A’s beat the crap out of the Sox, 20-2. Now the rest of the world doesn’t know the Sox exist. Even the MLB twitter will only report devastating losses over superb wins with any OTHER team EXCEPT the red sox. It’s like ALL the other teams are more important than the Sox. I have been watching the chatter over the past several weeks and feel this is an injustice. But then I looked at the standings and found that there is one more pitiful team other than the red sox this season,  the Houston Astros. They are currently forty games back, with a 40-92 record!  There are 162 games and this team has managed to lose 92 of them so far. There is still another month of baseball left and football (American)  season starts next week. But as is the case with me, no other sport matters to me as much as baseball. I don’t even recognize the first few games of football no matter how bad the sox are and I keep looking at the MLB’s website to check who is in the post season and wild card games.  Football season to me doesn’t start until the World Series is over, no matter if the sox are in it or not.  The sox might have a chance if they are able to pull it together but under the current management, I doubt it. I cannot stand Bobby Valentine! He just looks and acts like a complete asshole! Instead of words of encouragement , he gives nothing, least what I can see. Least Tito Francona (former Red Sox manager)  always had something positive to say even when someone had the worst outing of their career.

I don’t think there is much hope about a Red Sox post season with the way my beloved sox are playing so far. Yet despite the past 7 losses, I still watch the games, I still keep up with them despite cursing them at every wrong pitch, HR, error, and bad play.  I just can’t help myself.  Like someone said years ago, the sox are like a wife beater. You love them and hate them and keep coming back for more hoping each time that things will be better only for it to stay the same.  These are my SOX and I am a proud member of Red Sox Nation. The world may not think they are great but they are the world to me.
