There are some nights when I kinda dread this. Maybe the Red Sox lost in some nightmarish defensive way, like someone tried to eat the ball or something, or it was announced that a third of the starting lineup has COVID. Those are nights it can be tough to find the words. Tonight is not like that. Tonight it’s hard to edit myself. There’s so much to discuss! Nate Eovaldi was virtually unhittable, Xander Bogaerts was his clutchiest and All Stariest self, the bullpen, Jerry Remy, the crowd… It’s hard to keep it all in my head. These are the good nights, even the best nights. I hope you enjoyed watching the game half as much as I'm enjoying reliving it over and over again.
Listening to the radio, while watching on the Computer I had to agree with Sean McDonough - Alex Cora was probably a few feet away from a Monstrous Mistake taking out Nate too soon & Kike backing up & X's strike to Plow bailed him out in big style
Had we lost ..... it would have been like John McNamara in 1986 or Grady Little in 2003
You either look like a Genius or a Goose ! And so often it's just a small twist of fate & in this case just a few feet on the wall & at the plate !
But now The Sox are playing with House Money every day that this October lasts ....... Roll The Dice Lads !
Oh yeah, I enjoyed the game immensely, despite ARod's constant attempt to ruin it for me. Wtf does the world wide leader, or whatever they call themselves, see in him? Anyway, enough bad vibe. Watching baseball as a life-long Red Sox fan (I'm 75) in Canada for all these years (MLB-TV subscriber since day one) I simply have to put up with MLB's greed-ridden black out rules. Have lots to say but I'm still reading all the stuff I have access to. Really hope the Sox are at their best and the Rays and Cash (will they ever get to Montreal) make too many moves for their own good.
