Comments on: Dice-K and Joe Morgan, BFFs http://www.dirtywatah.com/2008/08/dice-k-and-joe-morgan-bffs/ The daily Red Sox rants of Matt Levine...as read by Jon Miller Thu, 08 Jul 2010 13:07:22 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Matt http://www.dirtywatah.com/2008/08/dice-k-and-joe-morgan-bffs/comment-page-1/#comment-9377 Matt Wed, 20 Aug 2008 20:25:59 +0000 http://www.dirtywatah.com/?p=555#comment-9377 Thanks for the comment whit. I try to go back-and-forth about writing up game reviews vs. random comments from the games. Sometimes one type of post gets monotonous after awhile. Also, due to the fact that I live on the left-coast, it's sometimes hard for me to follow every pitch of the 7 PM EDT games due to work. With regards to the MFY, you're right, they don't have the same swagger this year that they have in the past. But it's amazing what winning streaks will do to a team's confidence.

Works pretty well. You could give that a try, though it may not aid your memory, used to write up your game reviews. As for the MFY, I agree with all the numbers and tendencies that suggest that they're down for the count, but I agree with you... they're too notorious to be ignored. The one encouragement I have to their seeming lack of come back is that not only is the news panning them now, but their own players seem, in their interviews, seem to act as though their run is over.
