Something feels odd. Leaves are starting to change. Temperatures are dropping: I already turned on the heat for my house. Skies are getting cloudier each day, which is normal for this time of year…
Oh yeah: I’ve been spared the emotional roller coaster that has become a staple of October during the last decade, as MLB winds down…
The Red Sox aren’t in the Playoffs.
Things are almost back to normal in the Baseball world, its October and there is no baseball being played in Fenway Park. We got off to a good start last night, Jeter’s 5 hits and Abreu’s 4 ribbies. If the bullpen holds up number 27 will become a reality. Procter, Villone, Farnsworth & Myers are scary. What ever happened to Stanton, Nelsen & Mendoza?
I was amused watching Jeter got 5 for 5… even A-Rod hit well; two of his hits were robbed from him with a couple of good plays on the Tigers part. But I agree… if the bullpen can hold up.
I lost track of Stanton and Nellie – I think Nellie is still playing, but he was equally as scary before they let him go. ‘doza went to the Red Sox, I think? Middle relief is always a nervous thing to me!
