Accentuate the positive
The Sox lost their series to the MFY here in New York this weekend. You know what? That's fine. Friday sucked, as nobody played especially great ball, and we had another gem of a call by Sveum. Saturday's victory, however, was inspired. Schilling was absolutely dominant. It's still probably too early to say whether the Schill of old is back to stay, but you can't argue with the fact that he's gotten better every game he's pitched since he's been back. And while we lost yesterday, everyone played terrific ball. We just got beat.
Of course (and this is important enough to warrant a new paragraph), it's an open question as to whether it was Jason Giambi's* solo shot (I didn't see it, but I did see a cat do a somersault which is much more impressive) that put us under in the 1-0 game, or whether it was Bud Selig's limp-wristed approach to combating steroid use in the MLB. And here's hoping I don't get called into the principal's office like David Wells for saying that, and come out all Body Snatchers talking about how I didn't understand the intricacies of steroid policy.
(I've railed against the commish on the same topic at greater length elsewhere.)
Anyway, I still feel good about where the Sox will end up when the dust settles on September, as long as my boys don't get tuckered out (they don't have a day off till over a week from now!).
Completely unrelated to any of that, here's what sucks about getting older (and reading biographies of people you respect): Scoop Jackson held his first public office when he was 26. I only have 372 days to get elected to something if I want to keep pace.
