Awaiting spring thaw

Doug:
Christ, I don't know what's wrong with me …

 

Bill:
Getting that burning and itching sensation when you urinate again, Doug?

 

Doug:
It's like this … I didn't even realize Papelbon was arbitration eligible until I read that he'd signed the one year deal.

 

Doug:
Worse, Truck Day is announced as February 6th and my reaction is "Meh"

 

Doug:
I've nevah felt this little enthusiasm for a new Red Sox season in my life.

 

Bill:
Look, it's OK to feel this way.

 

Bill:
We no longah have to metastasize every single hope and dream and fear of failure into the coming season.

 

Bill:
We've been to the friggin' mountaintop, guy.

 

Bill:
So we no longah need to wait until next. Every year is this year and next year simultaneously.

 

Doug:
Yeah, you're probably right.

 

Bill:
And besides we're firmly in the clutches of a cold wintah … you'll come 'round once spring comes

 

Bill:
Right now we are like snow-whipped sugah maples, dormant, looking dead …

 

Bill:
But noons when the sun prevails, ovah late March's gales, will come the multiple dull drum of sap in empty pails.

 

Doug:
I like that. But if we Red Sox fans are sugah maples, what are Yankees' fans?

 

Bill:
Oh, that, well I do believe they are the common chokecherry.
