Okay, so I know I have a whole other blog about sports, but at this point of my life, the Red Sox are pretty much what you think of when you think of me, right? Ok, maybe not. But they're a big part of my personal life, so why not post on the personal blog??
Nothing earth shattering to say(at least for now), but just an observation. How can you NOT like this Red Sox team(or the team of recent years?). We have some free agents, sure, just like every team. But just think about how much home-grown talent is on the team. Last night, for instance, the 3 pitchers in the game were the following : Lester, Masterson, Papelbon. ALL were products of drafts by the Red Sox. The infield that day consisted of Lowrie at short, Youkilis at first, and Pedroia at second. One of those has already won a Gold Glove; the other two will win a few of their own in the coming years. And one of them will probably be the MVP this year.
We have Delcarmen in the bullpen as well, a Boston native and Red Sox draft pick. Ellsbury, also known as the fastest human alive, another draft pick. Michael Bowden made his pitching major league debut earlier this year, and Daniel Bard is right behind him. Lars Anderson may take over 1B when Lowell leaves, moving Youk to 3rd. And Josh Reddick will be manning right field when Drew is out of here.
The point I am trying to get across is that these aren't the Yankees that every broadcaster likes to compare these Sox with these days. The Yanks drafted Jeter, Posada, Bernie, and Mariano........after that, who'd they have? Exactly. That's why they are getting old FAST and watching the playoffs at home this year.
That's all for now. I'm back in the blogging world.
And this is kind of random, but they show these commercials ALL during the MLB playoffs. How shitty would that be if your doctor told you, "I'm sorry. You just aren't healthy enough for sex." That would have to be at least in the top 3 of Worst Things to be Said to You That Aren't of a Life-Threatening Nature to You or Someone Close to You.
