Arrogance

(It's been crazy coupla days to say the least...and I am not even talking about two amazing steal-victories over the sCrUBs! lol)

HOWEVER, I am amazed at how short most of y'all's memory is...How soon dso we forget the lethargic play and sheer hopelessness of April-May-half-June stretch? They say you can't win the pennant in April, but you can lose it...well the Sox have been "losing" for 2.5 months prior to the Wriggley/Twins series--and even then we allowed our struggling, mediocre-ish opponents to steal a couple of games from us (Colon and Garland's starts when the an eclectic mix of bad umpiring, defense and baserunning did in).......

....NOW we get complely out-played and out-SPitched (Danny Wright? How that fool didn't get tagged for 5-6 runs on Friday I don't know...Colon? Judging form fan's responses, he did his best to lose the game), only miraculously escaping an 0-2 hole.......AND ALLL OF SUDDEN WE ARE THE s***????!!!! WTF, are we turning into little, annoying arrogant pissant Flubbie fans after only a couple of (albeit super-exciting) victories? It's not like we dominated the Cubs- thanks to remarkable Sosa/Alou choke jobs and Alfoneseca bum, we didn't lose both games...We certainly found out that loading bases to "get to" people is NOT SMART MANAGING.

So how about good ol' TAKING IT ONE GAME AT A TIME, HUH?

This is not the same as "not partying your ass of after each win", I am a very volatile person prone to crazy celebrations myself afterall...but after countless despicable losses (need memory refreshed?) and heartbreak in 2003 (and 2001-2002 while we're at it), I think some healthy scepticism is in order.

YMMV.
