A little Puzzled Lately

Maybe you'll accuse me of being negative. Maybe you'll accuse me of disagreeing for the sake of being different. Either way, I'm puzzled lately. With whom, you wonder? Your Boston Red Sox, OF COURSE!

I've read numerous articles across the internet today, with writers boasting about how the Red Sox have "turned the corner" and are "playing great baseball," etc. I've read that they've "found their winning formulas" and are "full of heart."

What's the matter, smartass? You don't know any f****** Shakespeare?

I'm not saying the Red Sox haven't played well over the past three games (four -- if you include Jonathan Papelbon's disgrace of a performance in New York). But I am saying this: the last time the Red Sox "found it" was after sweeping the Angels. They then proceeded to lose two of three to the Yankees at home and struggle in Detroit.

The old saying goes: Don't hold your breath.

Just because this team beat Minnesota, in which I'll admit was with their desired and planned formula -- pitching, pitching, pitching -- doesn't mean they're ready to make a run at climbing back into the category of respectability. You want the media off your back? Put your money where your mouth is. You want people to stop doubting you? Put up, or shut up. It needs to be seen over the course of a longer period of time than three games.

In my upcoming trip to Baltimore June 4 - 6, I have no idea which team I'll be seeing. In exactly fourteen days, I'll know. The Red Sox will either have gone 6-7 or 7-6, based on the first couple of months. Time will tell what the Red Sox are -- and so will the VPs.

  2. Tim Eynation~~~~Tim is a solid all round player. He has strong pitching ability and is a heavy hitter at the plate. With his curveballTim is a solid all round player. He has strong pitching ability and is a heavy hitter at the plate. His curveball compliments his riser perfectly, when tim is on. Tim has one major problem though. When things go bad, tim goes ballistic. Thats when the true Tim comes out. Like Mr. hyde escaping from Dr. jekel, Tim's rage explodes. Hes been known to tip cars. "This one time, he just picked up Pat and threw him about 20 feet" exclaims a frightened Dan Woodward. "I may be afraid of everything, but this is scary" Adds Dan. Tim is a solid player and is a real asset to any team, as long as he doesnt get angry.
