That’s that

I’m not sad.

There are things I keep playing over in my mind, sure. The fact that Alex Cora started at short. The fact that JD Drew didn’t actually go around. The fact that Pedroia “just got under it.”

But I’m not sad.

It was a damn great series. And they’re one hell of a baseball team. They played us tough, and we gave it right back to them, and in the end they edged us out by just that much.

Cheers.

And it’s a good thing Theo’s not losing sleep, because he’ll need to be well-rested for all the work he’s got ahead of him this winter.

In the mean time, we’ve got nothing whatsoever to hang our heads about. If we’d lost on Thursday night, I’d definitely be feeling differently. But as it is, I’m proud of what we managed to do this year. And I’m very curious to see what this squad will look like when spring training gets underway in 129 days.
