I may have to name an as-yet unborn child after Russ Adams, as he’s gonged the Sox twice in two nights. “Big Hurt” was already on the short list of names, so we’re covered from Monday. To that end, I will also need to find an extremely patient woman… sports fandom necessary. No New Englanders, unless defection is a possibility. Inquire at the service desk. But I digress. My first two Airtight Baseball Predictions for 2008 are:
- Russ Adams will be a Yankee.
- Barring #1, Russ Adams will be a member of the Red Sox, just so they don’t have to pitch to him.
One game. If you had told me this on Memorial Day, I’d have slapped you stupid.
