Are You Fragging Kidding Me?
So, have been cleaning out the cobwebs and basically looking at what the fragging happened in the last few weeks. Blogging has been light because, well I just didn't know what to really say after game Four of the ALCS. Of course it didn't help the blogging muse that the BH (hi sweetie) decided that our 23rd anniversary should be spent in some secluded inn that would not allow my laptop to connect to the internet.
Since that trip coincided with the ALCS and I really couldn't believe that the Sox were on the verge of losing a series in Cleveland to a team that shouldn't have been causing that many problems, well, you can just imagine my depths of frustration on the Sox scene. Still, while low in the joy I think that I never really lost hope. Even if that hope felt like a blade of grass on the edge of the cliff that was supporting my not so light body.
Still, you have to like the way the Sox responded to the situation. Down 3-1 and facing a possible (shouldn't get it imho) Cy Young winner in game 5 on enemy turf, you have to wonder about the chances of getting back to Fenway for a game 6. Thank you Josh (dominator, Captain F*** Yeah of the kick ass brigade) came up huge once again in the play offs. Game 5 was pure Josh Beckett taking a team by the throat and saying; "not on my watch, not today, not ever you fragging jack ass" while he kicked them in the crotch. Pure, pure domination by the ace of the staff.
Of course being the superstitious sort of person I am, once the Sox started winning I didn't dare go near the blog to post. A condition we have seen before on these pages, still thanks to Joy of Sox I was able to vent my frustrations and still make some types of contributions for the discourse during the games. My claim to fame - Dear (insert player here), letters.
Still, even after Josh's domination, the team had to turn to #38 to take the bull by the horns. Game six in Fenway with the pitcher that has made the post season his personal whipping boy. Still after seeing him struggle in game 2 on the same mound and just knowing that it might be his last time in a RS uniform had me edgy all day. Could the old man show the kids how to step up when the light is brightest? My prediction at the game thread 5 was - Going out on a limb here, 7 IP, 4 hits, 1 BB, 4 K's and 0 runs!!!! , not to bad if I say so myself. What really made the game 6 game though was mister J.D. (ON FIRE!!!!) Drew and his grand slam bash to deep center field in the first.
How big was that smash? Well just remember that the bases were loaded with 0 outs and MBM and The Doctor both wasted their at bats prior to the slam. Just like earlier losses in this series it looked liked the Sox were going to waste a golden opportunity when with one beautiful swing J.D. made it fragging beautiful. 4-0 after the first and you just knew that Fausto was not going to last in the game. Just like in 2004 Curt came up big and the offense came up even bigger and it was turn out the lights, because the party was over for the Cleveland nine. Wahoo!!!
Let me highlight the feelings from that slam as here in total is the response at Joy of Sox:

LBJ gets on and we will have sent 9 men to the plate. Still freaking doing the happy dance because of ON FIRE!!!!!
More later on the rest of the post season and my thoughts on the best team in baseball right now. Just one last thing -
Reasons to fire Terry Francona - games 1-4 of the ALCS his record is 2 and 6.
Reason to build a fragging statutue outside of Fenway park - games 5-7 of the ALCS his record is 6-0!!!!
Later!!!
