Nervous Wreck!!
Man, I am a total nervous wreck about tonight. I'm telling you, the Red Sox are going to be the death of me. They will probably write on my gravestone or better, as my cause of death on the death certificate: Heart Failure due to overall stress of the Boston Red Sox nearly screwing up again. Or something like that.
But seriously, Thursday night's game was a total I'm-Going-Die-From-The Stress-Here game. I admit I walked away for a little bit. My nerves just couldn't take it. But when the cheering in my living room started, I quickly turned it back in time to see Big Papi crush one. Suddenly it was a game again!
I stuck it out after that and watched in total joy and amazement as my team climbed out of the ditch and got it done!
But now that a full day and a half have passed, I'm nervous all over again. Part of me really wants to believe in the Sox, that they can come back like they have before. But you know it's not easy. However, I've thought about more and more, the Rays are a good team, in fact they've had an amazing year. But, they aren't as good as the '04 Yankees were. THEY were a good team.
But the Sox beat them. And you know, if the Yankees had been healthy this year, I think they would have been one of the few teams that would have beaten the crap out of the Rays. And of course, the Sox, had everyone been 100% this year.
I suppose only time will tell what is going to happen. I hope we can pull off the miracle again.
Please, dear God, please don't let this be false hope. Please. I don't think my nerves will be able to take it.
Please, just let us win tonight. *Breathes in and out slowly* One game at a time, one inning at a time, one pitch at a time. That's what we have to focus on.
One game. One inning. One Pitch.
We can do this. We just have to Believe. And Keep the Faith.
