Scott Cordischi On Sports: Charlie Brown Gets Screwed Again!

I admit it. The Red Sox actually sucked me back in. As I watched the Dolphins-Jets game Sunday night, I couldn’t help myself. I had to switch to ESPN to see how Boston was doing.

When the Sox stole 4 bases off of Mariano Rivera in the 9th to regain the lead I couldn’t believe it. I was excited about the Sox again thinking that there was actually a small chance of a late season miracle.

But, just as Lucy does to Charlie Brown, the Red Sox pulled the football away from me as I was about to kick it. Thanks a lot, Jonathan Papelbon!
