The Rain Held Off

For the entire game which was really nice. Our seats were pretty good and actually covered too so that if it had started to drizzle we probably would have stayed dry.

It was sooo cold there though. I really wish I brought gloves, but what can you do. It was a fun, but very cold game. Looking around the stands I think the coffee and hot chocolates were more prevalent today than the beer - or at least pretty equal. We braved the cold to watch them win though - so at least it was worth it.

Red Sox Game?

Ok anyone that knows me - knows I'm a football fan. When it rains or snows the game goes on. I've sat in the stands during those games in Foxboro and it sucks. Sitting for 3.5 hours while rain pours down on you isn't fun. Nothing is dry. And I can't think of anything less fun than sitting in soaking wet jeans. I think it's actually worse sitting in the rain than the super freezing cold games - at least with those I can layer up and use lots of hand warmers. But I've done it. It's football. That's what it's all about.

But it's not football season. It's baseball season and I have tickets to today's Sox game. I don't know much about baseball. I don't really know the rules - I know the basics of course. I don't know why they cancel games when it rains (when football doesn't). I do know Yankees games are always exciting - I love those games, but otherwise I'm not really a baseball fan. Don't get me wrong I hate the Yankees and love the Red Sox with a passion I don't understand (since I barely like the sport) - but I'm a Bostonian through and through.

So now I'm trying to figure out if they are going to cancel today's game or not? Do they announce this on the website? If so, when do they announce it. What happens to the tickets for the game if it gets canceled? I'm trying to figure out if I should bother to get ready or not and make my way down to Fenway. Wish my tickers were on a bright sunny day.. oh well...

It's a Good Day to be a Boston Sports Fan

It must suck to live in other cities right now. Well, for sports anyway. Boston rocks!

The Pats are 8-0 which is just incredible. But even better than that, they have scored over 30 points each game they've played this season. Each game! Randy Moss catches balls that no one else could. And Brady even ran for 2 TDs yesterday! They don't just win, they are winning with scores like 52-7, 49-28, 48-27, 38-14. The Pats are tying or breaking records each week.

And people were worried about tapes? UM seems the Jets have only won 1 game since then - it's doubtful we ever got some kind of advantage with those tapes. Sorry Jets fans.

Then as if our day wasn't already great in Boston - the Red Sox SWEEP the world series!

SWEEP!

I sat in amazement as that last pitch was thrown. Strike. It's over. I can't believe that we have won 2 times in the last 4 years - after the 86 year drought / curse. I do recognize we have the 2nd highest payroll in baseball, but the Yankess have the highest and didn't even make it to the ACLS.

They are going to start comparing Francona with Belichick. Wow Boston.com has the entire homepage dedicated to the Sox.



Bostonians can truly be happy for about a week, then there will be something else to bitch about again. :)

If it was possible to Love Tom Brady More...

Then that's how I feel today. I love Tom Brady! I love Vrabel. I love Randy Moss. I love the Patriots. It's 45-0 right now against the Redskins and we're in the 4th quarter. Tom Brady is on FIRE this season! Randy Moss catches the most insane passes. Passes no one has any business catching - somehow he does it. It's amazing.

Next week is the Colts now that is going to be a crazy game. The Pats better win I will be so pissed if Manning wins that game.



and in about an hour I can watch the Red Sox in game 4 of the World Series up 3-0 in the series.

It's an amazing season to be a Boston fan.

Update: 52-0 with 5 minutes left. Amazing.

Ok so with 3 minutes left the Redskins finally scored making it not completely a blowout. Making it 52-7.

I have a friend [and Rams fan - not sure why :P] that claims the Patriots only ever win by a field goal. That may have happened in some games, but not anymore. Oh and they tied a recond by the Rams today which I was quite happy to hear.

Who knew the Patriots were going to be their own Fantasy Football team this year? I should have just drafted the whole team!

Red Sox :(

What's happening? We've fallen apart these last two games.

I want Josh Beckett back. Isn't he supposed to be back next game?

Maybe I posted that too soon.... is this a comeback? Ramirez makes it 7-3.. hmmm there's hope yet.
