August 3, 200322 yr Folks: There are lots of games left. We're gonna have more hot streaks. We're gonna have some awful games. We're gonna have some pitchers really let the team down during a game and we're gonna have a few batters slow to make the transition from long ball to little ball [or back]. That's how things go in any competitive profession. I'm a money manager [basically, a trader] and I can tell you from a very long life in these sorts of circumstances, if you let the highs and lows dominate your outlook, you'll miss the journey. Some of you might jump off the boat [some might get thrown off...]. Others might just decide they can't take the ups and downs and so turn the box off and quit watching. Are the people that posted about how hard it was to find ANY tickets for Monday's home return game tearing up their tickets this morning? If they do, when the Sox actually play the game and win big, they'll have missed the ride. There's about fifty games left. If the Sox really rock, they'll take 30 of those and still LOSE 20 GAMES! It just doesn't make sense to keep making these huge emotional swings on each game. Relax. Let the team play. Frank will hit 2000. Honest. He'll get hot again. The pitchers will pitch lights out again [four of them may be all we see for the rest of the year...who knows?]. And we'll all be posting about how awesome the team is to watch. When they next absolutely kill KC at home, remember to not get too hgih emotionally, because there will still be almost 50 games left. Relax. Enjoy. We're gonna go to the playoffs this year and play well. Can't you feel it in the air? Forkit!
