My absence from the Rage the last month and change has bordered on irresponsible. I’ve been dealing with some life shit, and now that it’s handled, I found myself ready to commit to the blog I created for the sake of entertaining my friends, my enemies, and casual third-party observers.
But in the last 48 hours, Papelbon blows an inconceivable 9th inning lead and Ty Warren goes on IR with a phantom hip injury. How the fuck is JC supposed to come correct after that kind of trauma??
That news straight up chalked my enthusiasm and left me with a dearth of words to punch on the screen. Historically when that happens, I turn to my favorite medium for expressing myself cleverly, the 5-7-5.

Whatever. When you lose one of the heart and soul guys of your most dominant four season stretch, and the Red Sox lose Youk AND a terrible game in the same 12 hours, it’s tough to write something informative, funny, or any reasonable combination of the two.
I will say this though. When I predicted in June the the first six draft choices of our 2010 litter (McCourty, Spikes, Gronk, Hernandez, Price, Mesko) would all be starters on opening day of 2011 – as in next year – I was chided and shit-talked and punked out by all the know nothing fans at 18to88.com, a haven for midwest shit kickers and Mid Major college students who have no viable source for information other than Nate Dunlevy’s agenda driven imagination.
Looks like I might be right by Week 4, you stupid hacks.
