Start the playoffs NOW!!!

The Sox will not play better baseball this year, next year, or any year that I'm alive. The Angels know damn well they very well could be facing these guys again in 3 weeks and they have to be sh*tting themselves in horror. There is no good, all-around baseball team that strikes LESS fear in my heart than the Halos. They pushed the Sox to the limit last night only to get b*tched slapped at the end by Nick Green and Alex Gonzalez, the least feared of all the Gonzalezesesses. Add last night to the past Angel performances in the playoffs and they become about as threatening as a fat kid in a foot race.

You see that guy up there? He pitches tonight. It's not a question of how he pitches, it's a question of how many Angels players ears he rips off and wears around his neck because right now, that's what the Sox do. Well, that's always what Beckett does, but I would have sworn I saw an ear-lace around Bay's neck the other day. The boys take this one tonight and then go steam rolling through Baltimore and I'm writing a letter to Selig convincing him to have the playoffs start next Monday, and perhaps mentioning the where abouts of his dog.

3-13 is a lot better than 2-14

The Sox getting beat down at the Trop is a common occurrence over the last 2 years. That 2-13 record down there in the regular season straight up sucks. Luckily, last night most of the Sox (cough, oki, cough) were playing like this was the post season and those regular season numbers don't mean sh*t. JD Drew continued to tear it up and I swear to God I thought I saw a smile on his face in the dug out after that home run. Turns out he just had some sun flower seeds caught in his teeth and he was having Alex Gonzalez trying to pick them out, but the fact that he's comfortable with A-gon and a tooth pick up near his chompers, I think that means JD is coming around folks. Teeth are very important.

The big thing for tonight's game, well besides the 500 times Garza is going to make the mound his own personal spittoon, is that Paps got 6 outs last night, sooooooo he's probably unavailable tonight. If the Sox are up, do they go Wags or Bard or Saito? Nick Green? Where's the D-bag Dane Cook telling me there's only one September? Sidenote to TBS, please never let him on TV again. Thanks in advance.

Oh yeah, that little kid in center made some pretty sweet grabs last night too.
