Brandon Moss
Last night at the Red Sox game, my friend Ari and me were making fun of Nancy Drew when he dropped a fly ball, leading to an unearned run. We were chanting "We want Moss!", which apparently offended the guy in front of us who turned around and said, "You don't put a rookie in right field. Don't you watch baseball?" I found that comment rather funny, because both Moss and Jacoby have played a lot of right field this season and I tend to prefer having a rookie who is a good player in over a veteran who sucks. And yes, sir, I do watch baseball.
Turns out our argument was all for naught, as Brandon Moss had an emergency appendectomy last night.
I can really feel for people undergoing stomach surgery, as I've had quite a few operations (fundoplication, pyloraplaste, exploratory laparoscopy) in my life as well as many surgical procedures. In fact, I'm going in for a small procedure next week.
Stomach surgery can be rough to recover from because you have trouble using your abdominal muscles afterwards. Any time you cough, sneeze, sit up, laugh, eat, drink, walk etc., it hurts. A lot. Considering all of this, Moss probably won't be playing for quite a few weeks.
Apparently, all of this started Friday night, and even though he didn't feel well, he played fantastic, going 2-4 and throwing a laser home for an outfield assist. Moss is a true Red Sox, the gritty type player that plays through whatever is bothering him, isn't afraid to get dirty and tries his hardest 162 games a year. Red Sox fans really favor these types of players, which is why Drew isn't so popular here. J.D. may be a decent baseball player, but he doesn't grit it out, and if he isn't feeling well he doesn't play through it. That is simply not acceptable for Red Sox fans.
Last night turned out to be a great game though it was absolutely freezing. I'm now 3-0 at Fenway this season, and have seen three different pitchers, which is unusual for me because typically I see the same guy every time. I have some pictures coming later of me holding the World Series ring (!) and game photos. Later,
