I HATE BEING RIGHT…WELL THIS TIME
I was not the only one, Aaron Gleeman and Ben Jacobs also wrote about the real difference in the Sox and A’s – the DEFENSE. As it was too painful for me to write anything yesterday (I do think I was not mentally capable of completing a sentence), I can not relive the miscues in the in the field for the Sox and the brilliant plays by the A’s. I actually logged all of them for Game 1. I just can’t bring myself to write about them.
Since I started this blog, some of friends have asked me if I would like to try this for a living. (They are also surprised that I can write coherently since I am a numbers geek and do that for a living. As if I never had to write a paper to graduate from college. They also forget that my other major was political science. I know they are just BSing, right?) Well, no way. I have even more respect for journalists now. I always thought it would be great to work for a MLB club or any sports team as well. But I could never just sit and analyze every single pitch like Theo. I would not be able to divide my head from my heart. I am a fan first - I mean I taped up eleven “W”s on a wall in my apartment - and hopefully, I’ll be able to watch my favorite team play more than just one more time in 2003.
