I wish today was one of those days were I could laugh at myself for being such a cynical sports fan. I wish when I was cursing at Francona on TV for putting Timlin in, I would have understood the decision later, when Timlin didn’t look like the Timlin I lose sleep over. Players have proved me wrong before. I called JD Drew Nancy for months before realizing my error.
However, this is not the case today. Instead I woke up sluggish. Did that really happen? Did a game that lasted longer than my shift (don’t worry we play the games at the bar) fall to the hands of Timlin? Maybe it was another tortured dream of mine, I'm running low on sleep. It was with this optimism I walked down the street to buy the paper and a cup of tea. All the Globe writers must have been feeling similarly, or gone to sleep before the game ended. Timlin is hardly referenced.
Timlin is the reoccurring one-night-stand Boston is always trying to forget. Lets talk about Masterson. Lets talk about Pap. And lets try to forget last night ever happened.
