As I wrote in a previous post, I knew beating The Indians would be tough. Did I think we would be on the edge of our barstools last night, just hoping The Red Sox would be able to force a Game 6 at Fenway? Of course not. But this is true Boston playoff baseball, which means it is never easy on the nerves. Although when The Sox win, it’s a helluva lot of fun.
So now we give the ball and the 2007 season to Curt Schilling, who I expect will conjure up the magic of the bloody sock. His last outing was forgettable, but so was his first ALCS start against NY in ’04. History doesn’t always repeat itself, but statistics have the ability to provide a glimpse into the future. Schilling is 9-2 with 2.23 ERA in the playoffs. He thrives in pressure situations, and I expect him to get win number 10 on Saturday night.
As stated before, I have to think that way. Some people expect the worst so they lessen any possible disappointment. When it comes to my teams, my mind doesn’t operate in a pessimistic mode. I always believe The Red Sox, Patriots, Celtics, & Bruins will find a way to win. And I’m elated when it happens, and devastated when it doesn’t.
So believe and keep the faith . . . and expect The Red Sox to accomplish great things over the weekend at Fenway Park.
