El Guapo's Ghost Rambles on about the Red Sox

The negativity in this town sucks!

Was said by a man that took at least 3-months off my life but the bastard is right and it extends throughout New England (minus southern CT; Giuliani should have made it officially a part of NYC when he had the chance). I couple of weeks ago when Burlington had around two weeks of glorious sunny weather - we get like literally 20 sunny days a year – two fellow shuttle passengers were bitching about not having any rain. We, New Englanders, will find something to complain about. Of course, I exemplify New England negativity as well (my last post was somber only). I have lived here my entire life minus two months in DC.

But Kevin Paul Dupont's article on Shady Chicken Little is tough to overlook. He writes:

If Little's leaguers are dumped in straight sets, he could be dumped within three minutes after the game tomorrow night. The Sox hold an option on his services for the next two years, a pair of one-year deals, but it doesn't take much of a leap in cognitive thinking to figure the option drops dead if his Sox do, too.

If you are a frequent reader of EGG, you know that SCL is not my ideal manager. But the man has steered the ship and achieved the organization’s major objective: get into the playoffs. It is difficult for me to cognitively think that Theo could justify not renewing SCL’s contract after the team’s accomplishments.

I would recommend bringing in a Bench Coach that would be more in line with the organization’s philosophy like Larry Dierker, who seems to be every RSN SABR fans’s first choice now, to assist with in-game decisions.

BTW, I still BELIEVE.

BTW2, Howard Dean is not a part of Red Sox Nation. I really hate shitting on a guy I may vote for President, but any member of RSN would have known the start time of a playoff game.

"All I want to know is, are the Red Sox winning?'' Dean asked the crowd, two hours before the first pitch in the playoff game against Oakland (Adam Silverman, Burlington Free Press).
