Winter Blues

by Denton on December 20, 2010

 

With all of the recent Red Sox-related action, it almost felt like baseball was right around the corner. Then reality set in: tomorrow is the first day of winter! I’ll be Ok for another week or so because of the holidays, but after that, I start to go a little “Jack Torrance” until spring arrives, minus the murder and stuff, but you know what I’m saying.

Besides sitting around swilling down cheap beer and staring lovingly at the 2011 Red Sox line-up, what the hell am I supposed to do? Suggestions?

I don't know about anyone else...but overall, I'm really happy with the moves made this offseason. 2 quality bats, and something we've needed for at LEAST the past couple seasons, some bullpen help.

Is it a plus that ol' Jenks and The Commander are pals? Yeah, I think so.

Also, anyone working on a time machine to fast forward us to Spring Training?

I've actually already started working on my own army of El Bencho Bots. World domination is not far behind.

I had a dream last night that me, Rich, and Hayes were at Fenway for opening day. Except fenway looked more like a scrap metal yard.

And Youk had cut the sleeves off his jersey and was wearing it as a vest with no under armor. back. Yeah, I don't know either.

Feeling you on this! At least , if one has the fortunate cable or dish deal going, one can thank enjoy the MLB Channel. Baseball talk and wonderful archival stuff = deeply consoling in the snows of January and the countdown days in early February. Truck Day cannot come soon enough!

They're looking quite pathetic with all that Liverpool stuff.

I used to love that place, not any more.

How about highlighting some lesser talked about "monumental" games/players throughout Red Sox history? You know...besides the 2004 ALCS.

Or, you could just put the Pedro/Zimmer fiasco on constant loop.

Hey Little Buddy - thanks so much for the math. It's both heartening and disheartening at the same time.

100 days!!! Woo-hoo! Feck! Somebody call the Cardiologist.

Purchase a telescope and rent an apartment across from Heidi Watney's. You'll probably miss all of next season.

I understand 1000%. For awhile it was as if Baseball never stopped.

But how the hell are the Sox going to top what they've done already? Still some 14 weeks till Opening Day? gah...
