…and I’m a Red Sox fan.
(all) Hi Brian!
Trot Nixon strains an arm muscle last night. Jason Varitek comes out of tonight’s game with a knee issue. David Wells comes off the the DL and promptly gave up 8 runs in less than 5 innings. Geez.
The Yankees have the night off, so the worst that can happen when the FRS lose this game is they be in a virtual tie for 1st place in the Eastern Division. Actually they will be a few percentage points behind the Bronx Bombers, which is the way it usually works around this time of the year. The Sox have finished 2nd to the Yankees for the last eight years and in the past that has been good enough to get them in the playoffs. This year 2nd place will only be good enough for an early end of their season.
I’ve said it before, but this time I really mean it, I’m going to find a real winner to back. I’m kicking this monkey right off my back. I hear over in the National League that a team called the Braves have won 14 straight division titles, maybe I’ll start to root for them…

Uh, Brian…have you checked out the year the Braves are having? Somehow I think that streak might be running out of steam. Coming from Orioles territory (a team in perpetual “fire the manager/rebuild the team” mode), I was excited about rooting for a winning team. But I think I brought the bad luck from Baltimore.
BTW, have you been over to the new “Mini-Fenway” in Greenville yet?
“But I think I brought the bad luck from Baltimore.”
With that kind of attitude, you are perfectly qualified to be a Red Sox fan, as long as you don’t mind second place…
Didn’t know anything about a Mini-Fenway, sounds like a road trip…
