blahblahblah red sox blah blah blahhhhhhhh blahblah

* NO PRESSURE TO READ THIS *

i have been exceptionally cranky these past few days. maybe it’s because of the construction noises all around hubbubble, maybe it’s because i ran out of groceries and overdosed on cornflakes and butterscotch morsels. i miss massachusetts and my friends something aweful too. whatever the reason, baseball usually acts as some sort of comfort for my homesickness and general crank. however with this being almost october and the red sox being their standard wreckless heartbusting selves, beisbol is not helping. and yes i am going to blog about it some more.

not only did the bluejays sweep the sox this week, but the yankees won a bunch and now are only 1.5 games behind. one and a half. 1.5. (remember when that number was 11? remember 13? ha!) boston.com/redsox now has not just how many games the sox need to win the division but how many they need for the wild card. because it’s gotten to the point where we are settling (more like hoping wishing praying) for the unsecured way, for any way to the playoffs rather than confidently dominating the american league east like the sox should because they are wonderful.

this, though completely expected, hurts just as much every year and completely blows.

is it that they don’t think people care? is it that they don’t care? is it that the yankees all take performance enhancing drugs after slipping mickeys in their opponents gatorade and chew come september? is there $ being exchanged for the sox to pull this crap?

it hurts me to no end. seriously. in another attempt to make myself feel a little better and maybe cheer the sox up and out of this “slump” (i won’t settle for a born into it, it is your fate as any kind of excuse) here is an open letter to the redsox because i really need to believe they ( the batting line up and management especially) read my blog (btw heh-ey tek or should i say captain! heart you even though you’re getting old)…

dear boston’s one and only beloved yet undeserving baseball team,

COME ON DUDES! THINK AWESOME! NOT SUCKASS. YOU CAN DO IT. ALL OF YOU WHO AREN’T INJURED (and you too, coco manny papi and youk) don’t lose anymore. don’t do it. just get into the playoffs but preferably win the division title. i believe in you (actually not really because YOU ALWAYS DO THIS!). i love you even though i SHOULD KNOW BETTER. and so do so many people. so many. tons of them. all over the world. so don’t be jerks to tons of people but mainly… ME!

seriously though stop sucking it up. please?

your devoted on call 24/7 uniform repair lady always and forever because i was born in worcester and not somewhere in hawaii or something,

derya hanife altan

ps: please start winning and clinch the title and make me look like fool for going on like this. you can do that can’t you? it’ll be funny. do it.

pps: if you even think about letting the devil rays win once this weekend i swear to god… i don’t know what i will do but it will be something bad that you won’t appreciate very much. like buying a braves hat or something…. that’s right THE BRAVES.
