I admit it....I slacked off. I dragged myself home after the seemingly grueling long work day and took a nap. I don't usually allow myself such a self-indulgent luxury - but, tonight was different. I had to take a nap to even be able to watch tonight's game. I'm not as young as I used to be - that's true - BUT, I went to World Series Game 1 last night and didn't get home until nearly 3am. Boo freakin' Hoo, I know...don't feel sorry for me!
My point is: The game is on and I have not yet posted a blog tonight. And, here we are - after the first inning - and it's clear that something has changed from last night. This is my attempt at bringing the magic back.
Once again - Curt Schilling is faced with a playoff, pressure situation. Lucky for us - Curt generally performs well in a pressure situation. What, you don't think there's any pressure...after last night's huge blowout with a maximum of 6 games left to play? Oh, the pressure is on, all right....the pressure on Curt to be in a Red Sox uniform next year. He knows it, we know it. Hopefully - that will be enough heat for Schilling to perform in his usual playoff role. Now, Curt - we don't expect you to be Josh....but we do expect you to bring your experience, trust in Varitek, and don't the Rockies rattle your cage....take it one batter at a time.
And....for all Red Sox players - a win tonight will bring you half way there, gentlemen. Half way there. All you have to do is swing. You can get this done in 4...it wouldn't be the first time. And, I know everyone at Fox is hoping for a long, 7-game season....and, some Red Sox fans even hope you'll bring it back home to win here in Boston. Not me. I hope for what is best for you - and that's to take the Rockies in 4.
Sure, this isn't a must win....but, damn, would it be nice. Give it your best shot, men....I believe.
Let's Go, Red Sox!
Ann, the Red Sox fan
