I want you to take a good, hard, long look at the folks standing before you.
Hey, these are your friggin' WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS!!
Also, on a side note - the friggin' Moo is back!
But..back to BRASS TACKS*!! You are looking at the current WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS...but the reason I've come out of hiding, from the recluse and reliable comfort that is my rock, is to make sure that all of you folks understand that THESE champions will continue to be. As our friends from across the pond said many years ago, We Don't Need No Education. There is NOTHING stopping this team from dominating the rest of the way. Hey, teacher, leave them kids alone, will ya?
We all need to understand that this team, even with its abismal outfield throwing arms, and lack of bullpen, THIS team, is the best we've had in years.
HOLD UP!
Before you start tossing rocks at me, cursing me to your grandmother and begging your sister to never speak to me again, I beg for an ear...
THIS team, is going to win the World Series. Again. You know why? Because not only is the Man Whom I Swore Would Lead Us To The Promise Land Again is gone, not only is Craig Hansen, you remember him from his interview, is he gone, but we've got a whole NEW TEAM. Remember last time, folks, what happened when we had a new team? I do. I was cooking fried chicken and closing down a salad bar on October 27th, 2004 when the Red Sox of Boston, MA won their First World Series Since Nineteen-Eighteen.
Now, sometimes, people say I'm the life of the party because I tell a joke or two(**), but in all reality I have no doubt that our boys are well equipped to take out ANY comers in the postseason (no less invading aliens from outer space, but that's a different story. If the President calls on them, well, I'm sure the boys will serve)
The cynics? They say Beckett doesn't look the same as he did last year, that he's missing the fire. Mike Lowell will be out, and apparently he's our entire offense for the past two and 2/3 years...
There is no bullpen (which, unfortunately, I agree with) and on top of that, the Sox just don't have it. I mean, gee-wiz, those Angels from Middle-Californ-I-A look A-O-K. Don't they?
We all know how it goes, and we all know how it rolls...ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Big Show. It's very good to be back. From here on out, GAME ON. Thanks, come again :)
*= to my friends on Sawxheads, I finally got it right :)
**= apologizes, and undying respect for Smokey Robinson
Until next time folks.....GAME ON!
