After much teeth gnashing, lip biting and nail gnawing the regular season games between the Sox and Yankers is finally over. It did not end with the final three game sweep we all hoped for. Instead we lost 2 out of three. We are still 4.5 games ahead of them and seem destined for another post-season match up.
The last three game found me plastered to my chair, bleeding with the team and rejoicing also.
There were some fantastic plays on both sides and some heartbreaking events too.
On Friday Dice-k did well ...up to loading the bases and then Timlin let 2 runs in. What Okie-dokie and Paps did...well I need some pain killers before I go into that.
Saturdays game , our win, was great as all wins are. Hinske's running through Posada will go down in Red Sox history!
Sundays loss was a classic match up between two great pitchers...except for one pitch. And this game did high light a big problem. That the Captain is in an offensive downward spiral. Can't say too much about it as we are all just fans and really do not know whats is going on. Some say he is tired...I hope its just a slump and he will climb out of it . Captain..I'm sending as many good vibes your wayas possible!!! Lowell's Home Run off of Joba the Schmuck was worth the loss. The unbroken Hut, who prior to this game had no un-earned runs. Well we got a homer off of him!! ESPN cut real close on him about 45 seconds after the homer and it looked like he was about to cry. The ever yankee-loving espn jackasses cut real quick from that.
In closing, yes we got stomped on...closing out the regular season with 8 wins and the Yankers having 10. But when it is all said and done they are the Yankees, a bunch of rude , loud, obnoxious players and fans , players who act like they are god gift to man-kind and fans who think they deserve every Pennant and World Series till the end of time.
While we are the RED SOX!!!! We fight hard, stick with our team through thick and thin and do it all with a smile! Enough said!!
GO SOX!!!

jmp, nice job on the post. And I'm with you: thankfully we are DONE with them, hopefully until next year.
I just read the comments from a few days ago: another Ramsay fan! His Kitchen Nightmares starts on FOX this Wednesday: have to set the TiVo.
I do stick with my team, but for crying out loud. Could we actually do something with all these base runners?? And could we win a late-inning comeback more than once this season??
And for Pete's sake: the Sox need to show some heart!! They are playing like zombies.
