Just my opinion."<BR/><BR/>I don't know if you're misinterpreting what I said or what. I'm an optimistic Sox fan, always have been. I didn't say "there goes the season," or "that's it for Papelbon," or anything like that. But last night I was really pissed off. I can't choose my natural reaction. Anytime something bad happens to the team, I'm mad. When something good happens, I'm happy. Looking at the score as 5-4 Oakland, knowing this was a 4-0 game and we were absolutely cruising, I couldn't just say, at that moment, "I'm totally happy right now cuz we're in first." <BR/><BR/>And it was me who still held out hope til the end, while my girlfriend, and plenty of other Sox fans, I'm sure, were saying, "this one's over..." But I'm not gonna act like I just immediately, at the point of the last out, was brushing the game aside. I mean, the Youk ball--I was DYIN'. Looked like a HR, as was stated in the post. I was just as pissed at the cameraperson...<BR/><BR/>"It's his job. His own performance. That's a different story"<BR/><BR/>It's MY job to root enough for Pap so he'll do well. When they do poorly, I feel it as if if was me. I, too, have problems understanding causality.Jerehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13448619048422750447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-53868248597931718052007-05-02T08:56:00.000-07:002007-05-02T08:56:00.000-07:00Uh, yes, which is why I made that comment.

I thought, "Why would they take out Hughes with a no-hitter? Must be an injury!" I flipped on the ol' web to see "Hughes leaves no-hitter with leg injury." Those poor, cursed Yankees. It's almost like they WANT to have bad things happen to them.* Then I watched the no-hitter and shutout disappear. So it's not as bad as it could've been tonight.<BR/><BR/>*When I say stuff like this, it's a comment on the state of the ridiculous pre-2004 media and the bullshit we Sox fans all went through all those years.Jerehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13448619048422750447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-89126101122682606032007-05-01T19:25:00.000-07:002007-05-01T19:25:00.000-07:00Damn, that was some BS.Damn, that was some BS.timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12041184236514293677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-19737392405849163252007-05-01T19:13:00.000-07:002007-05-01T19:13:00.000-07:00Papel-bot and Donelly give up their first runs thi...Papel-bot and Donelly give up their first runs this year.
