August 21 vs New York

Christ you guys are pussies. You're acting like its the 2nd coming of Satan or some s*** like that. You forget this is the same team that came from down 3-0. Theyve got some fight left in them, come on, dont be pussies and give up now. Keep that f***ing faith, theres still a lot of ball left to be played.

 

No, this is not the same team who came back from 3-0. That team had Pedro and a strong bullpen, and an emotional clubhouse guy, Millar. We also had a pretty good rotation with Lowe, Wakefield and Arroyo behind the big 2. This team has a streaky offense, only occasionally providing support behind Manny and Papi. We have Schilling, our ace, not as good as he was in 2004. We have Wells, who has been good lately, but who knows what he will do in his last month of his career. Josh Beckett, hopefully our ace of the future, is our shithole of the present, giving us a lovely 5.35 ERA, and the nickname of Nuke LaLoosh (deservingly). Jon Lester, a quality starter in the first few of his starts, collapsed, and honestly, who didn't see it coming? A rookie brought up too early, and when he won, he just barely did it, getting out of a lot of serious jams. He is now about as reliable as Lenny DiNardo. Jason Johnson sucks.

You guys can say what you will about the 2004 team, who we had then that we dont have now, etc. But the point is, is that there is a lot of games left to play. If you think this team doesnt have talent you're dead wrong, people are just not playing up to their potential. Aside from the one wild pitch, Foulke has been spectacular and will help solve the bullpen problems. I think this last series was a wake up call for these f***ers, and hopefully they real everyone ripping into them and that it lights a fire under them.

I think Damon was probably the biggest factor on the 2004 squad. He has a way of keeping everyone in the clubhouse loose and not uptight about being down.

Right, right, Damon. As you can see, he has left my mind.
