We are all on notice: Give Wakefield more love
Bill:
The knuckleball was unbelievable last night!
Doug:
Dude, I'm so friggin' pissed.
Bill:
Huh? Wakefield surrendered only one run on four hits in seven innings, while striking out four and he's now allowed only one earned run in each of his three stahts.
Doug:
That's just it. The guy is effin-A awesome, but think about it: when is the last time you recall Tim Wakefield's name coming up around here?
Bill:
Ah …
Doug:
See, what I'm sayin'? It's all Matsuzaka this and Beckett that and Schilling this with ne'er a word about our crafty and reliable Knuckleman.
Bill:
Christ, we've talked about Batshit Tavarez more than Wakefield!
Doug:
Dude, it's even worse than that … we've talked about the talent-starved, hula hipped Idol contestant Sanjaya more than we have Wake.
Bill:
If there's an exile island for Red Sox Nation, we should be sent there to do penance.
Doug:
Yeah, well, what's really sad is we wouldn't be alone. I mean look around. We've got beautifully designed, inspirational t-shirts paying homage to Varitek and Papi and even long since retiahed Jim Rice gets some swell ink on cotton.
Doug:
But 13 friggin' seasons with the Red Sox and God knows how manny innings in every mound role imaginable and Tim Wakefield doesn't even get a t-shirt?!?!?
Bill:
I hate myself right now.
Doug:
As Red Sox fans, we should hang our collective heads in shame.
"Our Wake - Your Funeral"
Good one, but it's already taken, I'm afraid.
MIT Crew has this on their shirts.
