Al:
I know the Sox can't win 'em all, but damned if I don't go into every game expecting a win and I'm irrationally disappointed when they don't.
Doug:
Sounds like you have a case of Soxpectation. It's pandemic in these pahts since Octobah 2004.
Al:
Seriously. And my Soxpectation is going to become even more acute as they go to DC for two.
Mike:
Remembah early on back in April when the Sox were 2 and 6 and we compared them to the Nats?
Al:
Ah, you know, nothing like a little panic to get the spring sap flowing.
Mike:
In hindsight it feels pretty silly to evah doubt this team in the era of having a single, ovahahching philosophy and sticking to it like beach sand on a bathing suit.
Al:
Absolutely, I mean take a look at the numbahs — Sox #1 in the AL in OPB and in pitched K's.
Mike:
It's pretty simple — battahs get on base, pitchahs throw strikes.
Doug:
So simple yet it took 80 plus years to figure it the frig out?
Al:
Seriously. It took less time to decode the human genome fercrissakes.
