Goodbye Skanks, Hello Playoffs!
September 24, 2008
First off,m may I? Ok, cool - F**K YEAH! Playoffs baby! Smoke a pack for me, RemDawg, we're back in it to win it.
That said, Plenty of other teams, and shoddy play, and injuries, and a litany of other factors helped to knock the Skanks outta the playoff picture and into the picture Jeter will hang on his wall from TPC Sawgrass, but I dare say delivering the knockout blow always feels good.
I was all set to revel in the preDICKtionary idiocy of that guy whose “Sox will collapse/Yanks will stage greatest comeback ever” video was making the YouTube/sportsblog rounds today. But then, in a total shocker, about as much of a shock that the Skanks are “Gone Baby Gone (drowned in a “Mystic River” of terrible, if you wanna double your Dennis Lehane pleasure), I found this message on YouTube about his video: This video has been removed by the user. Hey, at least I was ballsy/dumb enough to leave my Dolphins/Pats prediction video up, and I am taking it on the chin (like your mom) for that. Well-deserved, I might add.
But this is not a time for Pats ramblings. It’s Sawx talk, baby. They did it. They scratched, clawed, outlasted and outplayed enough teams to make it to the dance, and right now that’s all I, and all Sox fans, should be concerned with.
AL East title? Cool, but not necessary.
Difficult field to face? Sure, but they’re playoff teams. They’re supposed to be difficult to face. That’s the idea.
Facing Anaheim, with the Angels and John Lackey’s always-open triangle mouth getting home field advantage? Whatever it takes. I’ll roll the Dice-K with Beckett, Lester, Matsuzaka and a 4th against Lackey, Saunders and Weaver right now. Besides, we’ve beat ‘em twice. 2 outta 3 ain’t good enough. 3rd time’s the charm sounds better to me.
Party on Wayne, Garth, Papi, Lil’ Dusty, Ellsbury Beret and Co. You earned it. But rest well, ye merry gentlemen. The job ain’t done yet.
Playoff baseball next week and hopefully beyond. Hey everyone, don’t call or expect your emails to be returned till November. Love, Fitzy
