A Prediction

I don't really need to go into detail on how great the Yankee win was today. We all saw the game. We all know what happened. We all saw another a**-whooping. We all saw the Yankees stretch their lead in the AL East. We all saw Josh Beckett walk everybody and their brother. We all saw the Yankees put up another dozen or so runs for the 3rd straight game. We all saw Johnny Damon hit another 3 doubles and continue to have a great series. We all saw Josh Beckett give up his league-leading 32nd HR. We all saw Randy Johnson no-hit Boston in every inning but 1. There's no need to get into all of that. What I do want to do is make a prediction. And here it is:
Within the coming days, there will be big news coming out of the city of Boston. And I'm talking BIG. Earth-shattering if you will. And no, it won't be that the Big Dig is finally finished. It's much bigger than that. It's something that the world has been waiting for and so desperately needs. What's the big news going to be? What's my prediction? What is going to be unleashed on the world and take the "Nation" by storm? Well.......
In the coming days, someone is going to come up with another silly and strange saying to rally the Red Sox and the Fenway Faithful. You know, something reminiscent of "Cowboy Up" or "we're just idiots." That's what's been missing from the Sox all year. That's the reason why they aren't playing well. It's not their horrible pitching staff. It's not that Coco Crisp can't hold a candle to Johnny Damon. It's not that Theo slept through the trade deadline. It's that they don't have a silly motto.
The creative minds out there in Beantown need to get on this. Come on already. The world is waiting. Mark my words. It's coming.
Peace, love and pinstripes. Go Yankees.
