Clutch !!
July 6, 2008
 Well yes its true we dropped one in the Bronx we could have won , but you didn’t think Rivera could pitch that bad for that long , yeah he plunked two batters and was missing the zone by a foot , but when he had to be tough he was , sometimes as Carl Yastrzemski said you don’t lose the other guy beats you ! And after looking bad for much of the ninth Rivera became clutch , and lucky .
Its true we had our chances to win and what I find disturbing is lately we have been stranding a lot of runners . We need to get back that killer instinct, that ability to get tougher when we have runners in scoring position , that thing called clutch .
Maybe its just the toll this season has taken on the lads , with the trip to Japan and all, or maybe the loss of the large father contributes to our lack of clutch, or maybe we need to juggle the lineup a bit , something I think Tito is loathe to do , but all in all we have had a good first half., just not clutch ..
We had another good outing form the lad Masterson and the relief corps looked like they could handle the task at hand , yes rest will be good for this team . And after the break clutch may return , although some people even debate the existence of clutch I do not, I have seen clutch first hand , first with Yastrzemski and later with Papi , so here”s to clutch, may it return to us post haste, and may it remain til the championship is firmly in sox hands .
