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.
