Doubting the Rays would be pretty foolish at this point in the season, but they definitely have a challenge ahead of them. They got past the White Sox, but can they wear out the Red Sox? It ain’t gonna be easy folks. The Rays are going to have to lay it all on the line. Just ask the Angels, any little mistake can cost you against Boston. On the other hand, the Red Sox are going to have their hands full with the Rays too.
Yeah I just wrote a whole paragraph trying to say that this series is going to be intense. I’m antsy just thinking about it. At first I didn’t want the Rays to play Boston, but now I see that to be the best you have to beat the best, and it will only be that much more rewarding.
Here’s a list of what goes thru my mind when I see certain Red Sox players…
DiceK – his Indian name would be “man who throws too many pitches east”, because Kazmir is “man who throws too many pitches west”
Lester – ace of hearts, just need to get to the bullpen
Beckett – smug
Varitek – the glue
Casey – Mr. Ed
Youkilis – whiny baby who doesn’t suck at baseball
Pedroia – classic case of shortman syndrome
Lowrie – squeaky clean
Lowell – distinguished gentleman
Bay – coulda, shoulda, woulda
Ellsbury – annoyingly good
Drew – suddenly clutch
Papi – does he miss Manny?
Crisp – not kid appropriate, involves many four letter words
Oh and y’all thought I was crazy, but evidently I’m a trend setter. Girls everywhere are going for the rayshawk to the south idea. I think we should let the Red Sox players in on this phenomena. That way maybe they’ll be distracted when they see a cute girl in the crowd, wondering if she’s really supporting her team. Go Rays!!
