Same Olde Sonnanstine and Dance
September 16, 2008
Well, another day, another gut-wrenching, grab-you-by-the-ear-like-that-uncle-you-hate loss to the Rays in Tampa for the Sox. Andy to Andy Sonnanstine, AGAIN. And no offense from us, AGAIN. With Josh Beckett throwing a gem for the Sox, AGAIN. If I were Beckett I'd be pissed for the donut run support, but ESPECIALLY over that borderline "As bad as the blown call in the Denver/San Diego game Sunday" call, with the humpire calling a hit-by-pitch in the 8th when the ball CLEARLY hit the bottom of the bat. Hey ump, when's the last time you saw a guy get hit in the wrist and the ball travel 30 feet ther other direction? Sure that didn't cost the SOx but it was just a sign of how things were gonna go on this night.
But what really sucks it like a Polaroid picture is that the Sox piled on the runs Monday night in the 13-5 barrage that shall be known as "The Massacre at Kazmir", and the whole time you couldn't help but have the feeling, "Dudes, you're up by 10 runs, you've hit 5 homers, take it easy. Don't shoot your proverbial baseball load tonight! Save some runs because god forbid we are in a tie game or one run game and we wish we had some of those runs from the Monday massacre and you guys are all scored out!" Well, said fears came true tonight. Talk about a kick in the baseballs.
Yeah, the Sox are making the playoffs, and I still believe they're gonna go a long long way. But there's just something about winning the division by taking it from Tampa, that team full of chip-on-the-shoulder turkeys, this little team that could and would drive me nuts. Home field in the playoffs would be pretty sweet. Forcing Tampa to come to Fenway, giving us one less game in the St. Petersburg Slanted Dome, with the Fairweather Fans and those ANNOYING RATTLES! I can't believe a fanbase found something more annoying that Thundersticks. WOW.
In closing go Sox and DAMN YOU, SONNANSTINE!
