I am dumb
I was really wrong, wasn't I?
With a lot of people who analyze, dissect or write about baseball, you have to look at preseason predictions to find them writing something stupid. Well, for me, you just have to look at something I wrote just three days ago:
This series stinks. There is no suspense, just butt-whuppings. Considering the Yankees and Red Sox are so evenly matched, what happened?
Well, fast forward three days and, boy, do we have suspense. That game on Monday got me so excited, I called my best friend in Chicago to yammer on about the damned game. The next night, David Ortiz popped off another exciting play, and last night, my favorite member of the Red Sox(who, by the way, wasn't even mentioned in the AP recap) hit a disputed home run that stood up.
(Bellhorn is my favorite guy in the league because he's what I anticipate I would be like if I had the massive amount of talent needed to be an MLB player. He's a "three true outcomes"-type of guy, except he doesn't have home run power. Instead, he hits doubles, strikes out and gets walked. This year, he hit 37 doubles, struck out 177 times and walked 88 times. You've got to like that.)
So, now we get to see a Game 7 (yes, it is Game seven, not game 7. This type of thing deserves a capital letter, just like the Wild Card.) in which two evenly matched team will face one another. I don't think the Red Sox are going to win this game, but, youneverknow.
I've certainly been wrong before.
