There's something I've been a little bit afraid to talk about

... and that is what is going on with the Red Sox right now.

I am highly superstitious. Maybe it's cause we've been disappointed so many times. It's hard to give over to hope, fully. Or joy. We know the path of despair too intimately. My fellow Sox fans and I have thrilled conversations - in whispers, practically - we are afraid to upset the Gods. It's all been QUITE an amazing ride.

The "blogger formerly known as Dan" discusses the Red Sox team's new confident bad-ass attitude - which naturally makes Dan think of Steven Seagal - and the rest is comic history.

Doooooood, like, Seagal would so totally kick Van Damme's ass and stuff. ;-)

I think us New York area Red Sox fans/Yankee haters should find a bar to watch one of the games together.

This is the best opportunity your team has had to win the World Series in at least 100 years. They have no weakness at this moment.

If they don't win this year, dismantle the team. Move them to the west coast and forget they ever existed.

Big Dan,

That's simply not an option. Although a life-long Sox fan, I lived in DC when the Senators got sold (down the river), not once, but twice.

You don't want to do that to Boston. Nobody derserves it. Well, maybe Fallujah does.

And if it's not the Sox this year, then it's next year, for certain. Go Sox!!

[BTW, I live across the road from the Sox Single-A team's park in Sarasota, FL. Some good stuff in the pipeline!]
