When did they start making baseball players out of glass?As a Red Sox fan,although they won the division,I found this one of the most frustrating years ever.I stopped calling them Red Sox and changed it to the Rest Sox.
All year long,no matter the situation,each player had scheduled time off....THIS is baseball..whatever happened to the everyday player?What would Cal Ripken had said if someone told him,sorry streaks over...it is your scheduled day off!
Plus if you are plunking down $50-$100 or more to watch a game..don't you deserve to see the best a team has to offer?
I remember in the playoffs,Your ace,pitched games 1-4-7!You played to win!Could you imagine the look on Bob Gibson's face if the manager said sorry...you need 4 days rest...so we are saving you and pitching a guy who went 6-9 this year with a 4+ERA.How silly is this?(I wish they had though...Boston might have won the 67 world series)
Tonight the Rest Sox are pitching a guy with a bad back who hasn't pitched in a few weeks....all because they want to give their 1-2-3 starters the full compliment of rest!UMMMM..they lose 2 more games and they get all the rest they want!
I was so tired of Francona treating Papelbon as if he is made out of paper machet. I remember when Rich Gossage and Rollie Fingers would come into a game in the 7th for a save....enough of these 3 run 10 pitch saves!
The game as we once knew it is over....everyone is so worried about tomorrow and forgetting about today!
