Within a Mile of Home
This is the week I’ve been waiting for ever since Robert Goulet sang the anthem on Opening Day.
The long, 162 game slog, the giddiness of a 14.5 game lead on the hated Yankees, the queasy, sour-stomach fear as that lead steadily shrank all summer, the relief when the Sox held them off at the end, the sweet, sweet schadenfreude, the sinking dismay when they went down 3-1 to Cleveland, the relief and elation when they roared back to take it…
It’s all lead up to this week.
Josh Beckett takes the mound tonight in Game 1. May their stomping of the Colorado Rockies be swift and merciless.
In the legendary words of Izzy Mandelbaum:
“It’s Go Time!”
(And for those of you neutral fans out there who might be tempted to root for the Rockies on general principle, The Goat has some interesting information of which you should be aware.)
