Got You Where I Want You
I suppose we have them just where we want them now, these Cleveland Indians. Lulled into a false sense of security, riding high on the shoulders of Grady Sizemore and Victor Martinez, waving their towels and blasting their "Tribe Time" theme song and guzzling cheap wine like they're on their way to the World Series.
We did this before, folks. To the Yankees in 2004. Gave them their false hope. Let them stoke their fires and crank their music and point at us and laugh as we were forced to the back of the bus. We sat and watched and observed and absorbed and kept quiet. And when the time was right ...
One game away from elimination? F@#k that noise. We prefer to think of you guys as three games away from elimination. And hanging on by a slender thread.
... Think J.D. Drew's been a loss this season? Screw that; he's been saving it up, stashing away the awesome until he's ready to pop the cap and let it loose. And he's officially ready.

Thomas Paine mojo.

Not many people know this, but the rest of that quote is:
"Fuck yeah!"

Thomas Bringin' Cleveland The Paine.
Red Sox Win -- It's Common Sense.
Have been looking at the pics etc and it just strikes me that the veterans must be having a ball watching the kids (pap, F*** Yeah, and the rest), going absolutely nuts.
