MORNING BREW
Boston loss makes for cold October
The crack of Baltimore Oriole Robert Andino's bat shattered Boston's hopes for a championship that it couldn't buy.
In one compartment of my mind I creep into a colder October. The Boston Red Sox, the team that had it all and was supposed to win it all, lost 20 of 27 games in September, missed the playoffs and said goodbye to its sage Terry Francona.
Theo Epstein, the general manager who holds the future in his hands, and John Henry, the sharp-suited owner who resolves issues with six to eight digit checks, were stuck in a thick fate.
Francona, the warm old-time manager, with chew by the cheek, met with Boston's big dogs on Friday at Fenway Park.
In 2004, Francaone was at the core of the franchise's first World Series since 1918 and won another in 2007, but he was tired. Epstein, Henry and brass needed a new voice in the clubhouse. Like that, Francaona vanished from his former home at Fenway, haunted by cameras and questions, no longer the manager of the Sox.
The Boston Herald told us that pitchers drank beer on off days and gained weight as the season fell apart. The revelation does
not surprise me. They could have pitched golf balls and still gotten shelled.
The New York Yankees live for now while the Sox sit idly by, lugging wealth and disappointment into the brisk fall where fans of this team hang in endless disbelief.
Andino's single escaped into the dark recesses of the outfield where Carl Crawford, the $142 million mistake, dove lazily as the ball plopped to the safety of the green grass. So ended another season for Boston.
And here I am, arms dangling and spirit limping. My thoughts swarm with understanding of a colder October because Red Sox fans used to always be here.
Try to close your eyes and it doesn't matter. You still see it all the time. This year's horror, replaying on repeat, goes nowhere else during this cold October.
Times like these, the cold ones, replay horrors on repeat. My eyes are open but glazed over with Bucky Dent's shot over the monster in '78, Mookie Wilson's dribbler through Buckner's legs in '86 and Aaron Boone's extra inning homer in '03. Add Andino to the list.
