The Red Sox have been at the number one spot on the MLB Standings for about 3 months now. We've been battling with the NOW BETTER THAN EVER Tampa Bay Devil- I mean Tampa Bay Rays... with the way they've been playing against us.. the Devil should stay.
The Red Sox after for the past month have been holding on to a lead that has slowly been decreasing. Even with J.D Drew stepping up his game in Ortiz's place, we somehow seem to let the games get away.. mostly losing by one run. And because of that, we're half a game behind. We've been playing with no intensity.. or with no luster... and eventually leading us to let games slip away.
Maybe there has been something going on between the teammates? Causing this weird feeling towards the team?? Maybe the club is hiding something?
Most people would say, "oh half a game is nothing". But soon that .5 can lead to 5.5 in a matter of one week.
This week, we will be playing the Rays, with Coco not playing because of a suspension after the brawl involving charging the mound to the Rays pitcher. Im not condoning fighting, but Coco is a good fighter. He just did the wrong thing by porvoking it from the start of the gmae. Planning when the perfect time would be to charge the mound. He knew he was going to be hit with a pitch. He was smart, but he cost himself redemption with the Rays. T
he only reason he couldn't fight much was because they needed the whole team to hold him down. He has boxing history, so nothing was new to him. The Rays were upset because his suspension was reduced down to 5. Wile the Rays had no reduction, because of the intensity of the beating they put on Coco, WHILE he was down.
After the Rays, we'll be playing the Yankees, who as of late, have not been a real threat to us. The Rays have been the threat this whole season so far, and seem to be holding on to. Playing the Yankees have been really boring. The Yankees have been playing like crap and im not complaining and don't mind. Im just making a statement. The rivalry has died down. Maybe if they make it to the post-season this year, things will get intense and hyped up??
The fact that these two teams, when they play together average almost four hrs in each game could maybe be a reason for the lack of interest in those games. I love seeing the Yanks fans who STILL think their team is a threat is hilarious.
With the two rivalries, this week, things will be very interesting. Will there be another bench-clearing brawl with the Rays, with a pitcher retaliating ONCE AGAIN??? Jon Pap was quoted saying, "Payback is a b****" when he asked about the upcoming Tampa series. Will the Yanks seem like a team worthy to play the Sox?? LOLOL...
We will have to wait and see. But im hoping for a clean sweep of both teams, and hopefully securing our number one spot on the standings for the rest of the reg season.
Regarding the All-Star game, im used to seeing so many Red Sox players. And it only make sense that the league lets the World Champs have more players than ever. We've been in most of the All-Star games for the past 5 yrs...
Hopefully, the Yanks don't do what they did last year, and all of a sudden go on a surge of winning games after the All-Star break.
Hopefully, we can sweep or at least win most out of the 3 games there in Tampa. Im more worried about this team than the Yanks this yr. This rivalry with the team makes the games so intense. With me waiting for a fight to eventually happen. The games feel so heated though im only watching it on tv.
