Lulled Into a False Sense of Security?
I knew we were in trouble when the stomach cramps never kicked in.
I had an eerie sense of calm before the game yesterday, no butterflies, no intestinal cramping, no hyperventilating, no cold sweats…..nothing. I’m hoping it was just from being mentally drained from the previous week ‘cause god knows it wasn’t overconfidence! I’m apparently a shell of the neurotic human being I once was.
Unfortunately last night’s game went exactly like I thought it would. Ok, I didn’t think the White Sox would score 30 runs and get 12 homers but I knew Clement would be as effective as a New Orleans levee. I’ve never been so scared of our starting pitchers in my life. Clement’s lobbing grapefruits, you’re not sure Wells’ knee will still be attached by the end of the game, Schilling….well he gets a bye….the guy ruined an entire year of his career to get us a world series, he pitches one strike, I’m good, and Wakefield is pitching like our number one starter….a knuckleballer….a man who you watch with one eye closed because at any minute the 50mph pitch may not knuckle and be blasted into Jupiter and ricochet to Pluto. The best guy in our bullpen just started pitching in the majors 3 months ago. If someone can find Arroyo could you let him know it’d be nice if he showed up to pitch - its a bllagame not the f'ing Grammys! Timlin’s scarier than Britney Spears with post partum when he comes in with men one base since he’s pitched 3489 innings this season. And people wonder why I can’t watch when the other team’s batting????
Papi, your our only hope! Its sad but true, and you know that they’re not stupid enough to pitch to the guy short of walking a tying run in. Someone best light a fire under the asses of Millar, Olerud, Manny, Varitek, and anyone one else who’s p#@ssing me off right now which is just about everyone.
Atl elast I wasn't watching the game with my neices, otherwise they'd have learned a whole new vocabulary that would have gotten me in a wee bit of hot water if they started muttering 'sonsofbitches' under their breath. Well, at least no matter what happens tonite I get to go to the game Friday and won’t have to listen to ill-informed, ego-bloated, FOX announcers.
