So can the Sox get their Swagger back?

I think so. They need to if they are going to win this series. They’ve been in far worse situations before … remember the series against Yankees in 2004? The Sox are far from out of it. But a few things are going to have to shift.

First, Ortiz needs to find his swing. He’s been struggling lately at the plate. He doesn’t even have a single hit in this series so far. Second, Jacoby Ellsbury is also without a hit. The Sox realize they don’t have Manny Ramirez anymore, right? Other people have to step up.

On the flip side, the pitching hasn’t been that much better. The Sox have allowed seven home runs in the past two games.

It looks as though the Sox are the younger, inexperienced team in this situation when in reality they should have the Swagger of a World Series Veteran team. So … where is it? Where’s the Swagger?

I hope it’s not sitting in L.A.

Here’s a little video inspiration for the Sox from YouTube:

Can The Boston Red Sox Get Their Swagger Back?

That’s how many Jets fans are excited to have Favre.

I’m not so sure Favre is as excited. Sure, he’s happy to be out of Green Bay. But, he had no choice where he was headed. If he had been able to choose, he would have gone to Tampa Bay over New York.

According to Dan Patrick, Favre wasn’t given an option. An inside source told DP that Favre wasn’t even treated with respect when he showed up at the Packers stadium. He showed up to participate in practice, as he was reinstated. Security was told to NOT let him in. He then tried to go up to a suite to watch a scrimmage and, again, security told him he was not allowed.

What is up with that? Mike McCarthy said that Green Bay made every effort to welcome Favre back and discuss his options. That doesn’t sound like much of a welcome to me.

The fact is that the Packers never had any intention of bringing Favre back to the team. And I think they handled this entire situation poorly.

Not surprisingly, Favre told the Jets he wouldn’t be able to promise them more than one year.

Also, ESPN didn’t unearth the fact that the Jets got Favre. The story was discovered by Jay Glazer of Fox Sports. ESPN failed to credit him.

Nice guys … nice.
