Boston Staggers into the Playoffs
I was at the game last night, and wanted nothing more to see a champagne-soaked Heidi Watney awkwardly holding a microphone while asking extraordinarily inane questions (“How does this moment feel?”) to a bunch of screaming men wearing goggles.
Sadly, the party didn’t begin until after I left. However, due to the utter disintegration of our competition in Texas over the past two weeks (thanks, fellas), the Boston Red Sox are heading to the playoffs yet again. This will be the seventh Wild Card berth for the Sox, by far more than any other team in the history of this current playoff structure.
Hey guys, I love this strategy you have going on! You know, making absolutely no effort to win these games, focusing 100% on avoiding injuries and conserving energy for the playoffs. It’s just a brilliant, brilliant strategy. Right? RIGHT?!
What question would you ask if you were holding the microphone?
[WORDPRESS HASHCASH] The poster sent us ’0 which is not a hashcash value.
Probably something regarding Beckett’s back, or Lester’s knee, or Lowell’s cortizone-encrusted skeleton, or Buchholz’ alarming HR binge. Etc.
And believe me, my comment was not meant as a critique of Heidi, but as a critique of the common practice itself. I am in 100% support of whatever Heidi Watney wishes to do, as long as she does it on television or somewhere else where I can observe her closely. If it were up to me, Heidi Watney would be the US Secretary of State.
