Argh!
"Remember the days when the 2007 Red Sox bled pitch counts? They ended about three days ago without any real explanation. I don't get it. I continue to be mystified by this sudden collapse-in-progress, as well as the manager's abject unwillingness to shake things up in any way."
I know it's not fashionable to quote The Sports Guy these days (unless he's knocking Dane Cook - BTW, this is hilarious), but he pretty much nails it here. Last night's game was muy depressing.
I should be more depressed about all of this, but
1) I think Ms. Smith has been assimilated! She was watching the game without me last night.
2) NBA season starts in 13 days and KG is going to be wearing Green! That still hasn't totally sunk in for me yet. Wow.
Strangely, I'm barely even bummed about the Sox fadeout this year... the last month of the season prepared me for the letdown. They didn't have any spark going into the playoffs, and that's what you need to roll on. Something's missing. Plus, the Yanks collapse, and my own memories of '04, ease the pain.
Did you listen to Simmons podcast interview with Seth Meyers from a couple weeks back? Those Dane Cook parodies were pitched by Bill during that chat. Pretty damn funny that Meyers actually went with the idea...
