WELL, WHILE MOST OF THE "NEW" FANS OF OUR BELOVED FAMILY ARE REELING OVER THE RECENT SWEEP DOWN IN TAMPA, I AM NOT! YEAH, WE LOST 3 STRAIGHT TO THE RAYS, YEAH, WE ARE NO LONGER IN FIRST PLACE AND ARE NOW 3 1/2 GAMES BACK! BUT SO WHAT?! THIS IS THE BOSTON RED SOX WE ARE TALKING ABOUT! THE TEAM WITH THE BIGGEST HEART IN THE LEAGUE IN MY EYES! LAST NIGHT, WE SAW THE CURRENT REIGNING ROOKIE OF THE YEAR LITERALLY LIFT OUR TEAM TO A BIG LEAD IN THE GAME! LOOKING LIKE A SEASONED PRO AGAINST ONE OF THE BEST PITCHERS IN THE LEAGUE THIS SEASON, HE CAUGHT WOOD ON EVERY AT BAT, AND COMING OUT ON TOP MORE TIMES THAN NOT! GETTING THINGS STARTED WITH A HOMERUN, THEN A TRIPLE AND A PAIR OF DOUBLES, HE LOOKED LIKE ANYTHING BUT A SECOND YEAR MAN IN THE MAJORS! WITH SO MANY INJURIES ON THE TEAM RIGHT NOW, AND COCO SERVING HIS SUSPENSION, DUSTIN PEDROIA STEPPED UP HIS GAME BY BEATING UP ON STARTING PITCHER SCOTT KAZMIR. HE BECAME THE FIRST SECOND BASEMAN SINCE AT LEAST 1956, WHEN THEY FIRST STARTED MAKING RECORDS AVAILABLE, TO RECORD 4 EXTRA-BASE HITS IN A GAME.....AND THE FIRST SOX PLAYER TO DO IT SINCE OUR BELOVED CAPTAIN DID IT ON THE FOURTH OF JULY IN 2003!

I KNOW EVERYONES A LITTLE IN THE DUMPS BECAUSE WE LOST 3 STRAIGHT TO THESE HAPLESS RAYS......BUT YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE POSITIVE WITH THE NEGATIVE HERE! AND THERE ARE PLENTY OF POSITIVES! AS I MENTIONED EARLIER......WE "ARE" THE REIGNING WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS! THE RAYS JUST TIED THEMSELVES UP WITH US! WE SWEPT THEM COMPLETELY HERE IN BOSTON, THEY TOOK THE GAMES DOWN THERE AT THE TROP. ALL GOOD!

NOW, WE HEAD TO NEW YORK TO FACE THE SKANKS! AM I WORRIED? LMAO.......HELL NO! I KNOW THEY SMELL BLOOD RIGHT NOW, AND ARE THINKIN THEY CAN EXPLOIT THAT.......BUT WHO ARE WE? WE ARE THE BOSTON RED SOX! THE EVIL EMPIRE BE DAMNED! WE ARE ON A WHOLE DIFFERENT LEVEL THAN THIS TEAM WE FACE NOW.....AND BELIEVE ME, THEY ARE LOOKING UP AT US NOW....AND THEY'LL BE SQUINTING LOOKING UP AT US WHEN THIS SERIES CONCLUDES! YES, THE RAYS HAVE PROVEN, THUS FAR, THAT THEY CAN PLAY WITH US COMPETITIVELY.......BUT WE SHALL SEE WHAT HAPPENS AS THE YEAR MOVES ON! I LOVE OUR CHANCES MORE THAN "ANY" A.L. TEAM!!!! WHY? BECAUSE WE ARE THE BOSTON RED SOX! WE WILL NOT BE DENIED! THIS DYNASTY.......HAS JUST BEGUN! GO SOX!
