Red Sox analysis

Disclaimer: I am not an analyst, I am not a sportscaster, I do not work for the Sox or any other MLB team or other major sports franchise. In fact, the closest I come to having an expert opinion on any of this is having been to a shitload of games and having lots of discussions with other MLB-obsessed fans.

That being said...

(momentary interruption for cherry tomato and blue cheese dressing)

The Sox are starting to look like, well, The Sox. The idiots from last year. Cowboy up of 2003.

Manny looks like Manny. Ortiz is hitting them out of the pahk. Wells, Clement, Wakefield...The backbone of our pitching staff. Even Foulke looked good last night. We have Youklis, who should be played a lot more than he is. Millar, Muller, Bellhorn.

Not even our bullpen can seem to kill this rally.

So why don't I trust it?

I watched Pedro pitch on Sunday in Shea stadium. I was disappointed. He wasn't Pedro, he was some weak imitation. Almost, not quite, entirely unlike Pedro*. And that's how the boys feel. They aren't themselves.

Now, I can never be called a pollyanna, but I'm certainly not a crusty, cynical old fogey either. (mmm...These tomatoes really are good. What was I saying?) If they win, I'm happy. But when their wins were based off of fielding errors, or a pitcher's bad night, or shitty baserunning by the other team, I got upset. I want to see them play like they want it.

I don't need the intensity of last year. No team can keep that up for an entire season. But I would like to see something more than what they have been showing us. I want to see the crazy hits, the small ball followed up by one slammed out of the pahk. I want to see wicked good baseball.

I'm not getting it. And I feel robbed.

I'm taking a wait and see tactic. So we'll wait and see.

And in the meantime, I'm finishing these tomatoes. Damn they're good.

*Kudos to anyone who gets the quote.

I don't trust it. I expect them to break my heart again.
