Last night was proceeding according to script. The Red Sox finally touched up the impressive Cardinals’ rookie pitcher and entered the seventh inning with a 2-1 lead. Lackey was cruising and had that bulldog look that made him such an implacable foe when he used to pitch against us.
Then it all went wrong. Lackey allowed two base runners with one out
and I was praying Farrell would leave him in to firmly establish his
legend. Unfortunately on came Breslow whose
unbelievable run of success was overdue to end and did in spectacular fashion
when he walked the #9 hitter and then threw the ball into the stands to allow
the winning run across.

So now we have a series,
which was expected but not welcome. The prophet
of doom sits firmly on the shoulders of every Red Sox fan over the age of
50. It happens in the regular season as
well when we feel the season is imploding after every loss. The very cool thing about this team though is
that they are the anti-Sox. Even a will crushing loss like this has only seemed
to galvanize them. I expect a bounce
back win Saturday night.
At least this means the Sox
will finally win the World Series back at Fenway Park
I was so pissed by the end
of the game I refused to surrender to sleep.
I stayed up well after midnight watching an episode from the 5th
season of Breaking Bad. My daughter was
right – this is truly compelling television.
The final episode of the 4th season was mind blowing in the
typical understated yet jaw dropping moments I’ve come to expect from the
show. When Gus walks out of the
retirement home explosion and then slowly turns – YIKES!
It’s been fascinating to
watch the evolution of Walter White from a meek high school chemistry teacher
to an anti-hero of truly gargantuan stature.
Just when you think you know him – they peel back another layer. I finally understand the fascination with
this show. I cannot believe they somehow
made the initially despicable Jesse a sympathetic character.
