Is it wrong to be excited and somewhat arrogent about rooting for a team that has the best record in baseball? I don’t think so.

I just started a new job, running summer conferences at the University of Rhode Island. On staff are three Yankee fans, three Red Sox fans, a Brewers fan (from Wisconsin), and three people that could give a shit about baseball. After last night, I don’t think its wrong to walk around as if I was superior to all that root for inferior teams.

Down 4-1 in the fifth, Pedro Martinez was struggling. He had a uncharacteristic loss of composure in the dugout, taking out frustrations on his jacket. The display was so bizarre that Derek Lowe wet himself (again).

Of course, because of Messers Youkilis and Ortiz, the Sox led 6-4 the next time Pedro walked to the mound, and he kicked on cruse control for the next two innings, before Embree set them up, and Foulke shut them down.

As an aside, I am very worried about Foulke after his crappy spring.

All kidding and Joe Fan bluster aside, last night’s game was a good one to win. Not only did it keep the Sox in first place, but the win also gave the Sox their first grand slam of the year (David Ortiz) and gave them a win over a team they need to beat.

Good job. Clap clap clap. Dirty Water.
