10/11: This feels familiar

About Evan Brunell

View all posts by Evan Brunell
Born on the 37th anniversary of the the day Babe Ruth died (1985) which later became the day Jimy Williams was fired in 2001, I was too young to experience the pain 1986 brought, but a deep wound was sowed in 2003. 2004 covered that wound up, and more. I am a guardedly optimistic Red Sox fan. Red Sox fans are by nature, quite pessimistic, so I do my best to stay positive but there are times where I fall into the deep, black hole of being a Red Sox fan. Stepped down as regular contributor in Feb. 2010, currently serves as editor and writer emeritus.

    Are the Sox the A.L. version of the Cards this year, loaded with good hitters (Pujols, Holliday, for crying out loud) and can't hit? If Clay pitches as well as Lester & Beckett, and the bats don't work, will he be held to a higher standard? 26% of poll respondents are already in that frame of mind. If he pitches lights out, will the same 26% want to trade him while his value is high? If he pitches poorly, will losing the ALDS be laid on his shoulders, Buckner-like?

    So angry right now. Papelbon better be traded for a bucket of balls. Theo's total disinterest in helping the team last offseason doomed us to failure. Brad Penny and John Smoltz, my ass.
