Smokin' hope
Doug:
Boy, it sure is getting late early out here.
Al:
You know, when they swept the Angels and then totally shut down the Injuns in Game 1, I really thought we'd seen the last of the "meh, so-so" Red Sox.
Mike:
But the playoffs have been a mirrah image to the regulah season, haven't they?
Mike:
Off to a ridiculous hot no one can touch us staht, followed by a rapid cool down.
Al:
Yep and totally susceptible to giving up the big inning like we saw repeatedly from June thru Septembah.
Mike:
And totally likely to leave men on base and piss away golden offensive opportunities.
Doug:
And pretty much totally tied to the fortunes of The Manny Ortez. When Manny and Papi are on, all is right with the world. When they aren't, it's waking up to being down 1-3 and on the brink of elimination.
Mike:
There's still hope though.
Al:
Plenty of hope.
Doug:
Are you kiddin' me? I'm friggin' high on hope.
