The Boys of the Old Brigade

Wakefield and Timlin have been the men on the Red Sox pitching staff this post-season, throwing up lots of zeros that mean lights out for the opposition.

They also make me feel about ten years younger, evoking a weird sort of deja vu where it's 1992 again and I'm sitting on the floor of an unfurnished living room in Baltimore, watching Wake pitch brilliantly for the Pirates and Timlin in a blue and white Blue Jays uniform.

Hand me another Natty Boh, hon.
