More Mike – It’s HIS week at RSC!I always go around the Sox blogs and message boards first thing before posting (for many reasons, the main two being I want to see how other fans feel and I want to try and not write about something someone else has already written about). This morning has been an interesting one. I’d say the general feeling in Red Sox Nation is about 70% "Well, we lost to Pettitte, today is a new day" with there being about 30% of that "They lost the first game to the Yankees, here they come!".
I’m pretty sure you know where I stand. Aside from Demon being the one to hit the game-winner, there are only a few things to complain about last night’s game. JD’s struggles being one, but, more importantly, the possibility of being without Manny and/or Bobby Kielty due to back issues for both. The former bothers me much less than the latter. We need our guys healthy. Manny could be a huge loss, and Kielty could hurt too. So we’re sending good vibes there way today!
Some folks have emailed me asking why Timlin is my player of the week since he isn’t struggling. Well, this week he’ll most likely get his 1000th appearance, as I’ve mentioned, and I think he earned the spot on the blog to have positive vibes sent his way. To answer another question, I chose the Blue Jays photo because I really liked it when I saw it in the Globe yesterday (and it looks much better full-size!).
Beckett v Clemens tonight. While I knew that Pettitte would be tough to beat, I don’t quite feel that same way about his BFF Roger. I’m hoping for a little more excitement tonight than last night. But, more importantly, I’m hoping for a win. (And for good news about Manny and Bobby!)
