I know I'm not the only one who failed to panic absurdly when Beckett got pushed back to Game 3, and I know I'm not the only one who is pretty sure Lester's been this year's ace anyway, so ... why did the press go from acting like the entire population of Boston should hurl themselves into the Charles with cinder blocks strapped to their ankles (whilst wearing #19) to acting like all Sox fans should be reprimanded for being "surprised" by last night's win?
No one was suicidal (for more than an initial WICKED SCARED moment), and no one was surprised. Sox fans (with the possible exception of the brand newcomers, but, they'll figure it out in a couple of seasons) always believe. Duh.
October!
PS: Whatever it was exactly that the sportscaster said last night along the lines of "Now that the Steroid Era is over, baserunning has become a very key part of the game" made me spit wine on a down comforter. Awesome. "Now that you can't cheat your way to victory, well, you're just gonna have to be athletic!"
