April 6, 200422 yr Ok I left work real happy yesterday....Everything looked so optimistic...Konerko hitting the ball...Sandy hitting the ball...Buehrle pitched pretty good...I loved the aggresiveness on the basepaths...I loved the 3 double plays we turned. My only disappointment at that stage was Crede's 0-4 cause I expect a big year from him...but I was willing to overlook it.....It's opening day and the sox were winning 7-3 going in to the bottom of the ninth...All was well so I left for the day. Imagine my shock and awe when I got home and turned on the news just to hear them talk about the cubs win and then say "let's toss it to KC where the news for the sox isn't so good" I was like what the f*** could they be talking about.....I thought somebody got hurt. Man talk about a buzz kill.... I'm trying to look at all the good things that happened yesterday and forget about the few bad things, but man they stick out like a playboy bunny working in an ice cream shop. In all fairness...I dont really blame ozzie for this...Marte has to get those outs....you should be able to count on him to do that. Maybe Ozzie was a little nervous being in his first game...and Koch...didn't help those nerves by giving up a double...so he made the switch...was it right? I don't know....but I know if I was watching it I would've felt confident with Marte coming in too. If Marte K'd the next 2 batters we wouldn't be having this conversation. I think the decision could have went either way...but neither should have resulted in this outcome. This loss isn't on Ozzie's shoulders. Let's keep up those good things we did yesterday and eliminate the mistakes!
