Keep the Faith!

3-1, we have faced tougher odds. the question is do we still have the same magic that we had in the 2004 postseason? The answer is yes but with both returning and new cast members. Pedro is no longer with us, but to take over his roll as a fiery leader Josh Beckett has stepped in. We also have new cast members in the bullpen, Okajima and Papelbon, who always give us faith during the end of close games. Lugo is the new Cabrera, Youk is a better Millar, Lowell is a better Mueller. Pedroia, aka the future, is the new and improved Mark Bellhorn, Jacoby is the new Dave Roberts and JD and Coco combined to create the new Trot and Damon. Then we have the returning members, VTEK- the captain of all captains, David Ortiz aka Mr. Clutch, Manny aka the Natural, Schilling aka the Godfather, and Wakefield aka the Iceman.

Now you may be asking the question, "how are the Sox going to win if they can't get runs?" Well did they score runs when they went down 3-0 to the Yankees is 2004? When their playoff life is on the line the sox come through, from the top of the order all the way down to the number 9 batter. You also might be asking, "how are we going to win without pitching?" Well Beckett is Mr. Automatic in the playoffs so he should do great against CC and the Sunshine Tribe. Schilling is always clutch when the game is on the line, with or without a bloody sock and Dice K didn't have an awful game in game 3, he just didn't have any offense behind him so expect a big game from him when we get to game 7.

If you still find it hard to keep the faith think about this. Unlike in 2004, after game 5 the Indians will have to play in Red Sox Nation which is a difficult task for any opposing team. Fact #2, The Indians do not have an overpowering offense, but the Sox can blow you away. Last but not least, fact #3 I kidnapped Eric Gange.

KEEP THE FAITH!!
GO SOX!!
