Bring On the Bride
There's no other way to put it: The grave has been dug. The pine box has been inserted 6 feet deep, and the Red Sox are in it on their backs, breathing but unconscious. All that's left is to nail down the cover and start shoveling the dirt.
Oh, of course, of course, one can escape such an ignominious end to the season. One can escape being buried alive. We saw the Bride do it in Kill Bill Vol 2, right?
The only problem is The Red Sox are not doing a very good job impersonating the Bride. Well, I take that back. They are doing a very good job of being the Vol 1 comatose Bride in a hospital bed being 'looked after' by Buck ('Who likes to � '). Will we see the Sox regain consciousness and fight the way the Bride did?
I want to see some swordplay. I want to see the Sox eliminate the Yankees as if they were knee socked, chain swinging Go Go Yubari at the hands of the Bride wielding the Hanzo.
Red Sox, the Yankees are Bill. Cut to the action sequences, OK?
'Those of you lucky enough to have your lives take them with you. However, leave the limbs you've lost. They belong to me now.'
That's what I want to hear. "
