Back in 2nd
Tara:
I didn't think I ever live to see the day.
Susan/Circle:
What that an African-American is poised to become the next President of the United States?
Tara:
No, that the Red Sox would fall out of first place because of a loss and a Tampa Bay win over the Yankees.
Susan/Circle:
Seriously what's next — Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria!
Tara:
Well, Josh Beckett's definitely had fire and brimstone coming down from the skies look about him after his 11 hits and 5 runs in 5 2/3 innings performance last night.
Susan/Circle:
Yeah, while Julian Tavarez's angry batshitedness was amusing, Beckett's seething is on a whole other level.
Tara:
They say his teammates don't even want to make eye contact with him when he's in one of his rages. Hell, I don't even want to make eye contact with him on the TV.
Susan/Circle:
Let's face it, if Josh Beckett couldn't throw a 98mph major league fastball, we'd more than likely be seeing him on an episode of Cops.
Tara:
Absolutely. He'd be another shirtless redneck streaked in blood and professing his innocence.
Susan/Circle:
What is up with the shirtless rednecks anyway? Is there like some redneck handbook that instructs one to remove shirt before transgressing into criminality?
Tara:
Yeah, I think that's in there along with instructions regarding the optimal placement of broken down cars in your front yard and deep frying Twinkies.

What Would Julian Do?
Bill:
Christ, I watched every game against the Twins yet somehow I'm shocked with the realization this morning that we only took 1 of 4 in the series.
Mike:
Yeah, all those late rallies only to come up short in the very end …
Bill:
And this team looks so good, looks like they should be taking 3 of 4 of every series and be 6 games or more ahead of the pack by now … yet here we are not only just a ½ game in front, and a ½ game in front of Tampa Bay no less.
Mike:
Patience, guy, patience.
Bill:
I won't miss the white knuckling every time Tavarez took the mound wondering if the "good" version or the "holy fuck shield your eyes" version would show up …
Bill:
But I will miss that giddy anticipation at the possibility that at any given moment Tavarez would go totally batshit on us.
Mike:
So if he ends up in Colorado, does he go batshit there evah? I mean how does Julian's arbitrary and explosive violence fit in with drinking the Coors' Jesus Juice?
Bill:
Well, it's not like the Bible is devoid of arbitrary violence, just ask Isaac.
Mike:
True. But still, it wouldn't be the same seeing Tavarez karate kick some deserving Philistine ass while in one of those aburd purple vests the Rockies wear.
