If I stand all alone, will the shadow hide the color of my heart (blue for the tears, black for the night’s fears)
And the stars in the sky don’t mean nothin’ to you, they’re a mirror.
I don’t want to talk about it, how you broke my heart.
If I stay here just a little bit longer,
If I stay here, won’t you listen to my heart, whoa, heart?
Maybe they should just teach the whole of Fenway Park to chant “TIMLIN IN THE EIGHTH, FOULKE IN THE NINTH”. Francona got lucky that he didn’t commit the mistake in the postseason. If he’s smart - and thus far he’s shown quite some capacity to learn, a la taking Schilling out earlier after the Blue Jay grand slam debacle, so Grady F’n Little comparisons may be premature - he’ll learn that Fenway may forgive a bad reliever, but he’ll be run out of town for leaving Pedro in too long.
