Eight wins

And yet, I believe.

There I am, sitting in the truck outside Bunghole Liquors, down 3-0, and I decide I still believe. I believe we can win the game and win the series, then with the Series.

By the time I come out of Kappy's with my beer (the Bunghole had nothing really good), we are up 4-3, and I feel better.

Now, of course, it's 17-8, and I wonder why I bother. Ten runs in the bottom of the ninth to win it? Walk-off homer by David Ortiz. I think not.

What most likely happens is we lose, get shelled later tonight, and those of you who don't like baseball will be much happier.

The only positive point tonight was that Henry V was on opposite the game, and I got to see the good bits.

Eight straight wins

In the light of a new day, I have regained my senses.

Still, I believe.

I believe we have the Yankee right where we want them. They are overconfident because they know that no team has ever rebounded from a 3-0 series deficit in the history of Major League Baseball.

Screw history, says I. If there is any team, anywhere that has the cosmic ability to pull off something like this, it's my Sox. Who could believe they could go 86 years without winning a World Series? Who could believe last year's loss in the ALCS? Who could believe '86, '78, '75 or '67?

I still believe.
