Lind's Elbow Has It's Revenge
I could more or less see this coming. Watching the Sox completely implode against my lowly and mutinous Blue Jays the last week of the regular season, I knew they weren't long for the postseason. Not that the ALDS wasn't any less enjoyable. I think we should start calling it The Curse of Manny.
Perhaps my favourite quote was when they said the Mauer "Foul" call was nearly as bad as some of the calls that went against the Sox. My favourite because that call was probably the worst I've ever seen and the quote demonstrated wonderfully just how far their heads were in their rectums.
For the last time in 2009, I present SOSH.
They started out so hopeful for a win:
MY dick is so hard for this game it could cut a diamond. WIN
We're winning this fucking game.
Hell yeah! Finally some life! Keep the line moving, boys!
JD Drew is seriously a clutch motherfucker.
2 things I like today.... 1. Sox are winning. 2. No Nick Adenhart bullshit.
That there is all class. The Angels had a teammate who was killed in a senseless accident and are rallying around his memory. Apparently, that's "bullshit." Plus, didn't we hear non-stop about Jon Lester and his cancer?
would Lester on short rest line him up for regular rest Game 1 of the ALCS, potentially?
Good work Clay. See you in the LCS.
I must admire this optimism.
The Sox will see tomorrow. I will not panic. They're in our house, and the baseball gods hate douches.
Yes, since the Sox lost, apparently they do.
Do you trust another guy in that pen to hold a 2 run lead? No, Paps has to do it.
This faith doesn't last.
God forbid our vaunted ass-dancing closer ever have another clean inning for this fucking team.

This is not happening. Our fucking closer has allowed four runs to score on his watch. I hope he's gone next year.
It was painfully obvious that this team was just outplayed by the Angels, but yes, let's blame it all on Papelbon. There is an actual thread discussing trading him. It contained this gem.
I could not agree with you more. Papelbon has been living on the edge many times this season. Even though he got through a lot of jams he created for himself, it was obvious that at some point bad things were going to happen. The total implosion occurred at the worst possible time for sure. It is time to move on and get what we need for Papelbon. Wagner can close for a year followed by Bard in two years.

Wagner? The same Wagner Jeff Blair felt should be parking cars at the game rather than pitching in it? The same Wagner that somehow walked Vlad Guerrero? "Halladay is bush league" Wagner?
And depending on a closer rushed back from TJ. Cause that worked out so well for the Jays.
Let this be a lesson to you all. Never plunk Adam Lind on the elbow after he has a multiple homerun game. Because the baseball gods hate douches and things will be rectified.
