It's beyond argument now that the 2006 Red Sox season is over, in baseball terms. But Sox fans need to root harder than ever now. Now, we're simply rooting for the health of two of our most beloved players, heart and soul of the team David Ortiz and young gun Jon Lester.
Ortiz was re-admitted to the hospital with more heart arrhythmia, and thankfully appears to be well, but put quite a scare into the Fenway Faithful. As we've learned in the past, these things are tricky, and we should all keep Big Papi in our thoughts, if only to thank him for the truly amazing performances he's given over the past few years. There is no other player like him.
Lester was suffering back pain and swollen lymph nodes, and the Herald (perhaps irresponsibly) reported that he will be tested for cancer. This story made us all catch our collective breath, I'm sure. The kid is only 22 years old, in the prime of life with a starry career ahead of him. We all need him to be okay, to let us continue to believe that at it's heart, baseball is a healing game, a game of life and living in all it's nuanced, small breaths, motions, and pauses. Lymph nodes are used in fighting infection, and it's likely the swelling was due to infection: that is what I am keeping in my mind. Rebound, Jon.
Obviously this blog features none of my usual snarking, for which I apologize (to some degree). It is easy, especially doing this, to forget these guys are just people, just guys living their lives. In the end, I consider myself lucky to have this team, this fan family, and they and we deserve a few minutes of appreciation and hope.
Coming Soon: The trade of Fatty! Where will he be eating next?
