But I'm not alone.. most Red Sox fans are nuts. There I've said it. I thought maybe it was just me - that I was the only one who tuned in to watch a bit of Roger pitching last night against the Cubs, but I can see around other site on the Red Sox that they are talking about the same thing: Roger finally lost.
Roger had been kicking butt so far this year and I haven't seen him pitch since, well, October - but we won't talk about that. And there he was: my immaginary future baseball husband from last year, Todd Walker (our relationship ended tragically when he left to go to the Cubs. I don't do long distance. ha)
Standing in Rogers way with 4 hits on the night: a single, a triple and (count 'em) 2 HR's, scoring 4 times and gathering 2 RBI's along the way. Leading the announcer to actually say: maybe Walkers still got a little Red Sox/Yankees thing going. bahahahahah.
But a really strange thing happened along the way. I started wanting Roger to win. Roger, who broke my heart when he went to Toronto. Roger, who took the pieces of my broken heart and jumped up and down on it when he went to the Yankees. Roger, who said he wanted to retire and then went to the Astros which made me go: {evil grin} take that Yankees!-----

and the beginning of the "life threatening blister" debate, still discussed from time to time on Boston talk radio. 1986 is yesterday, man!
here is my absolute favorite description of that game, from the Red Sox perspective:

I'm rooting for Roger, too. He called George Steinbrenner this year and thanked him for the five previous, telling him how much he loved his time in New York.
And we'll always have Game 3, when Rog outdueled Pedro.
First time I saw Clemens pitch live was Game 6 of the 1986 World Series. What a game.
