Eric Gagne can NOT pitch in Boston and he needs to go. What was he doing in the GAME? I am available to pitch. I could do better. Where is Julian?
Last week while the debate was raging in Red Sox Nation: did we want to face the Indians or the Yankees? Does winning mean less if we don't go through the Yankees? I got into a big debate with a co-worker about this. My opinion: 2004 makes going through the Yankees unnecessary, but I'm not really sure I want to face the Indians. Being a native New Englander, I'm genetically unable to route for the Yankees, but I thought: if they could win against the Indians, their pitching rotation (such that it is - ha) would a mess, as well as ancient... but as I told my co-worker: really, really, really:
I just don't want to face Trot
Trot.. the ultimate Dirt Dog.
Trot.. with the shut out ending home run vs. Clemens in 2000
Trot.. with the heroics against Oakland in '03
Trot.. with his casual walk away from the camera man after the Game 7 of the '04 ALCS, saying: I've got to be with my fans and running across the Yankee field arm raised, as My Way plays in the background. (haven't seen it? it's on the extras of the 12 DVD Collectors Edition 2004 playoffs set - it's one of my favorite parts. The other one includes Joe Buck yelling: back to Foulke...)
Trot... who hit another beautiful home run against Clemens last week
Trot... who should still be our #7
Waaaaa........
I still love you, Trot
See you in Knat-ville... where we'll make our triumphant recovery.
