Oh Yeah, the Red Sox

You know something? I pretty much forgot about the Red Sox. That other Boston team’s run to blowing the Stanley Cup first occupied all of my sports watching time and energy, and then after the choke I was too depressed to enjoy any athletic event other than watching tiny birds.

The all-star break is over. Yay. Goodbye to the dumbest scrimmage game of the year. But as the second half of the season kicks off tonight, the Red Sox find themselves in first place in the American League East with the highest winning percentage in all of the American League, and the most wins in the majors. So this is what happens when schmucko the clown gets the sack? Works for me.

As of this moment, I officially dedicate myself to paying a lot more attention to my home town team. It starts with a series against the fourth place (4th place) New York Yankees at Fenway tonight. Nothing would be sweeter than kicking off the second half of the season with a hearty sweep of the Yankees. That would please my baseball fan self to no end.

Go Red Sox!

Red Sox Domination

You have to understand Red Sox fans. We are a hyper manic depressive lot. When the Sox win a game, any game, we are on top of the world. When they lose a game, any game, we are lining up to jump off the Tobin Bridge.

When they follow up a last place finish by opening the new season at Yankee Stadium, we as a collective group spent most of March sharpening our razor blades.

But then…

The Red Sox have won the first two games of the season handily against the Evil Empire! There is dancing in the streets in Boston. There are people wandering around in a daze, randomly hugging people and screaming, “Sox rule!”

Two games down, 160 to go, and it’s a great time to be a Red Sox fan!

(Let us have this… We need it after the last two seasons’ fiascos. Just let us have this while we can)
