Do you hear what I hear?

Well that was one long ass vacation folks. Much needed to say the least. However, 2 full weeks of no Sox and limited Internet access life was tough. Picture Gillibeann and Cape Cod Ed in a basement Internet cafe in Riga Latvia recounting the last 7 days of the Sox. Then fast forwarded to CCE in the Helsinki airport chasing down a kid in a Papi teeshirt to get updates. Now I KNOW where my fanaticism comes from. In my absence Lester made his much anticipated return. John- we missed you! Schilling is expected to start and Gagne is in the pen receiving a standing O last night from the 38 thousand plus Faithful in attendance last night. And Papelbon is still one hunk of grade A American Man Meat. He drinks Bud. Not Budlite. Bud. Be still my beating heart!


Ok watching the Yanks go on a balls to the wall homerun derby in the last week has made me a little more than uneasy. I hear the pitter patter of Yankmee feet behind us. I knew they would make a run but I didn't think it would be this early. I thought it would be last minute. And no, it doesn't help that A-fraud has gone 0-21 because the Sox went 0-10 with RISP in the Orioles series up until the 7th last night. Orioles!!!! Anyone catch Miller trying to take out Lowell? All in jest I'm sure but he look a little uncomfortable when the crowd booed him. I do believe that little Dustin is my new favorite Red Sox. What a little scrappah you ah buddy! 3-4 last night. Good for you!

Two west coast series! Ugh- killah. Then they are here at Camden Yaaaahds. I'll be rootin for them with the Cuz next Saturday like a true Sox fan should- drunk and sunburn in the upper deck.
