Okay, so here's the deal. Remember how I wrote that letter to the Red Sox Nation a few days ago, bitching everyone out for having hysterical woe over our stupid team with its stupid division lead, and meanwhile there are teams like the Tigers who can no longer so much as see .500, even on a clear day using the Hubble, so shut it and be grateful?

JUST. KIDDING.

Lately, the Red Sox really have not been playing much better than the Tigers. And where the Tigers are pretty much cooked for the season, and we've all accepted it, and the best we can hope for is a better losing record than last year's losing record, the Red Sox still have something to lose. Rather a lot to lose. And they have it to lose to the fucking Yankees.

So I'm not really feeling as calm and reasonable as I've been feeling most of this season. I'm feeling tense and anxious and like baseball might just make my heart explode long before I see my thirtieth. I'm not as spaztastic as some people, and I'm certainly not anywhere near approaching despair, but my sang-froid is rapidly vanishing into the ether.

So to celebrate, have a snarky poll.



[Poll #574056]



Once the Sox get it back together, I will likely regain my equilibrium and possibly go back to reminding everyone about how a team in first place by definition does not suck, and if you wanna see suck, spend a little time at Comerica. For now, though, I'll just be twitching in a corner somewhere if you need me.

Now if you'll excuse me, I finally have enough money this month to complete my collection of Hats For Teams That Hate Me Right Now with an Astros hat, so off to the mall I go.

I am in a lot of pain right now. Like, alot. It really boggles the mind, how incredibly bad both the Sox and Tigers are right now. How is it even possible? How?

And I'll have you know I fell asleep twice in my organic chem class today. No more chats that late unless I haven't got morning class the next day!

I - I just don't know. I really don't. Maaaaan, I hope the upcoming offday for the Sox does some good. They clearly need SOMETHING.

I have always been impressed with people who can fall asleep in class. I have never been able to, no matter how tired I am and how comfy I get with my head on my arms on the desk. But then, half the time I just barely manage to fall asleep at night when I'm supposed to. And nobody made you stay up last night, except possibly the Farns, so go yell at him. ;)

I need a good baseball icon about my teams hurting my brain.

We should all blame Pudge for keeping us all up. Thats what we really should do!

Also? Brandon Inge would not only GIDP and K in the same at bat.. he'd leave 10 men on base as well...

Man, don't wish you could fall asleep in class, it is both embarassing and highly disconcerting when you wake up.

And shut up, I know. :P I really wasn't tired either, that was the kicker. Blah.
