Hey Boston....Yes Including The Red Sox...What The &;#$*(@$^ Is Going On?
I waited all summer to make a quick trip to Florida to spruce things up at LaPierre South.....and what happens? The wheels fall off the wagon! Yes I know, the wheels were getting mighty wobbly on the Red Sox wagon for weeks now, but the dive they took in the past week or 10-days may be the biggest and most historic collapse in baseball history. Somebody's gonna have to have to pay for this one don't ya think? Francona? Theo? This is a choke like ya read about kids and I do hope they can get it together in the off-season.
Boston fans will love the Red Sox if they're dead last in the standings, but get rid of a couple of knuckleheads, the likes of Papelbon, and we'll like 'em a whole lot more. What an arrogant faker he is.....that glare from the pitcher's mound to the batter....oooooh....and quite frankly I don't care about his stats as much as I do about his demeanor. He doesn't scare anybody I'm sure and he too....CHOKED...when we needed him. And how 'bout those big bats for the Sox.......maybe a 7-iron will be more to your liking because that's the season you're in now. Surrounded by Yankee fans here in Florida.....it's not easy....but I've resurrected a long-time Sox-fan line....."wait till next year." I had the pleasure taking a birthday party tour of Fenway Park last week for my grandson's 9th birthday. What a kick, standing there on the warning track in left field, next to the Green Monster, surrounded by my son Dean and my grandson Cameron. A beautiful moment. It's a terrific ballpark, the Red Sox are a great organization, but omg you can be an insufferable downer at times.
And one other thing quickly since I left; The apparent murder of a friend in Ipswich. Tony Woo, owner of my favorite Chinese restaurant "Majestic Dragon" just down the street from my northern address. The first murder in Ipswich I understand since the 70's. My deepest sympathies to Tony's family and friends. He will be missed.
