Maudlin days are here again
Should I have listened to the nagging voice in the back of my mind on Tuesday night that said I need to respect the Royals, and that long losing streaks tend to end, and that it's not uncommon for them to do so when the Sox are around? Apparently.
Should I know better by now than to have held out hope that Schilling would dominate in his first start in forty-something days and, in so doing, lead the Sox to march like Sherman through the rest of the AL? Yes. Yes I should.
After two first-inning strikeouts, it looked like maybe the post-season hero could've returned. Then came the litany of hard line drives to shallow center. I don't think I've ever seen so many hitters put the ball in exactly the same spot over and over again. And they're pretty much guaranteed singles, so Schilling clearly had to be less than 100% for the Sox to get clobbered by KC small ball.
And how far must our pitching staff have fallen if I'm anxious to get Foulke back in the bullpen? Answer: very far indeed.
It's going to be a long post-season.
