Boston Down, Not Out: Randy Booth Interview

I had a quick email back-n-forth with Randy Booth from Over The Monster, SBN's Boston Red Sox blog
REV HALOFAN: Does this team have that unquantifiable grit/character to come back and take three must-win games?
RANDY BOOTH: They certainly don't have that same "grit" as the 2004 team, but I think it's there -- it's just underlying. Can they do it? Yes. Is it probable? No. ... But that's what we all thought in 2004, as well.
RevHF: Any lineup tinkering as your Sox face Scott Kazmir?
RB: Probably not, because that lineup they sent out the last two games is the best one they have. If Rocco Baldelli was healthy, he might get a start, but he's not on the ALDS roster. The Sox certainly aren't going to try and come back to win this series by starting Jason Varitek.
RevHF: Any chance Mike Lowell doesn't start Sunday, or at least takes a pitch in one of his at-bats?
RB: Lowell will start, and as bad as he has been offensively, so has the whole team. At least Lowell has brought some (surprisingly) good defense. He's made up for his bat already on defense, unlike most everyone else in the lineup.
RevHF: Will they be Booing or YOUK-ing in Boston when Kevin Youkilis takes the field Sunday?
RB: You really have to be struggling for Sox fans to boo you, so that won't happen. But hey, Youk hit a double Friday night. That is, at least, something, right?
RevHF: Would Manny have made a difference in these two games?
RB: Hell no.

Rev,
I love your answers to the questions he had for you over at that other blog. Especially the Rockies or Yankees one.

The only thing I have in common with Boston fans?
A mutual disgust for Wo-Manny Ramirez.

They aren't out,
and the Halos need to take their collective foots and plant them firmly on the Red Sox throat. DO NOT LET THIS TEAM OFF THE MAT!
This team is our extended family, That's why we love them no matter what the record, no matter what the score.

Pathetic revisionist Boston fans sure have a way in treating their past superstars.
Funny how they try to deemphasize the contributions or existence of one Manny Ramirez, when obviously he was the toast of the town, the Savior of Beantown not too long ago. But, then again, these are the offspring/contemporaries of the same inbreds who left a little brown surprise under the covers of Bill Russell.
When the Sox lose, and by the love of Dave Henderson they will — HIDE THE FLAGPOLES.
At last, an Angels series lead the size of Kevin Youkilis' head!

Check out Rev's answers over at OTM....
my personal favorite:
Finish this sentence: “If the Angels lose the next three games, I Rev Halofan will _”
be blaming Brian Fuentes.

True dat indeed
That walk last night was a little too cute—he could have easily given himself the ignominious “Donnie Moore 2009” label right there…hopefully he won’t get that distinction tomorrow!
RIP Nick Adenhart.

If they start Ortiz, then they are giving up.
I can’t see David doing well against Kazmir.
