April 7, 200422 yr as a die hard sox fan, devastating is an understatement for yesterdays loss. after a loss like that, on opening day, i cant deal with it. i cant even look at anything about the mlb for a loooooooong time afterwards. i know its only one game, but still, every game is important. how do you deal with such awful losses
April 7, 200422 yr I can deal with it. It's already put right behind me. I'm just focused on this team winning a game tom. Plus, the Twins were losing last time I checked so if we win tomorrow, we'll be tied with them which is always a plus.
April 7, 200422 yr During the course of a 162 schedule I don't normally shut myself out from the media, but today was different. Coupled with the circumstance itself and the Cubs opening day win I choose to avoid ESPN, radio, and newspaper articles on yesterdays monumental collapse. May seem extreme but its good to avoid all proof that opening day 2004 ever existed. Tomorrow is a new day and a new game. Hopefully we can all put this s*** behind us.
April 7, 200422 yr never get too high with any victory never get too low with any defeat we will lose at least 60 this season - it is just the way it is

Do you think that if we have a 6-run 9th and comeback and win the game tomorrow that we'll get as much air-time as the game yesterday did?
April 7, 200422 yr FWIW, you were not alone. Do you think that if we have a 6-run 9th and comeback and win the game tomorrow that we'll get as much air-time as the game yesterday did? I to avoided the radio, and espn, just all the media, but when beltran hit the homer I dealt with it, by punching a wall, breaking one of my pictures on the wall, and making the smoke detector fall of the ceiling, my mom wasn't very happy.
April 7, 200422 yr I have no problem with Wright as closer, but then you have a 6 million dollar bad 7th or 8th inning pitcher in Botch.
April 7, 200422 yr Here's my rule, if the sox win, I catch every sportscenter, baseball tonight that I can. If the sox lose, I will watch those shows, but immediately turn the channel when the sox highlights come on.
April 7, 200422 yr I plan on drowning a cute, innocent kitten after each Sox loss this season. Here Fluffy, Fluffy, Fluffy....
April 7, 200422 yr Here's a little word of advice: Don't listen to sports talk radio. They're usually negative and will just piss you off more. Plus, they only have callers who call to b**** and moan and say the usual (i.e, these guys suck!).
April 7, 200422 yr When the ball flew out of the park, I yelled "f***!" for as long and as loud as I could. Followed by a few other choice words. Yesterday's loss hit me pretty hard, but I remind myself that everyone loses a game like that during the year. We've got ours out of the way, so let's move on.
April 7, 200422 yr Alcohol, and lots of it... After a defeat, drink to drown your sorrows. After a win, drink to celebrate your victory!
