Ted Lilly's Vengeance

This was done per the request of my friend Jeffery who wanted something to do with "Rodrigo Lopez, Ted Lilly or Bruce Chen" I picked Lilly for reasons I talk of below. Ahh yes, the 2003 ALDS. It was a fabulous time from Games 3-5, if you were a Red Sox fan. But yet at the same time, I loathed the 2003 Oakland A's. I had a few exceptions, but most of them were dillholes and I hated them. Ted Lilly was on that team, and I think we all remember him best during that series for the "Lilly" chant during Game 3 while he was pitching. What we don't remember is how well Lilly pitched. But anyways through all the antics of that said ALDS, me thinks Lilly has a little vengeance on his side towards the Red Sox and thus why he kills the Red Sox. Just a theory.

However I do have a little confession to make. I LIKE Ted Lilly. He's one of my favorite pitchers. I know I know, he kills the Red Sox and I should hate him, but I can't help it! I like the way he pitches when he does well, it just sucks that most of the time, it's against the Red Sox. I will say his one start where he shutout the Red Sox like 3-0 in August of 04, that was probably the only game I wasn't really pissed off about losing that year. The guy pitched a helluva game, gotta tip your cap and move on.
