Troubled Waters

It seems that the threat of midterms has led Pat to hermetically seal himself away from everyone and everything, except his textbooks, leaving me to captain this blog through troubled waters.

Yes I admit, the fact that biology homework is a driving force encouraging me to stay on the computer as long as I can, eventually leading me to succumb to posting, which in the off-season (or at least in a painfully boring/exhausting off-season) can be at times a chore. Which leaves me to ponder and yes elaborate my feelings about the olde towne team. I don't even know what's going to happen.

There are talks of Theo's return, which could help ease some of my nerves, but the main fact is that we have major holes in our infield (and not to mention Centerfield) And contrary to the Yankees, our pitching, for a change, doesn't leave me uneasy. I guess I shouldn't expect a 98+ Win season, like I have gotten accustomed to over the years, not with the key components we are currently missing...but I don't think the Sox should manage anything less than 70 wins with their rotation.

Well, this year will test our fandom. I mean, if I wanted a team of perrenial winners I'd have been a Yankees fan. < < The best fans $$ can buy ;)
