Welcome Home

So, I watched the Red Sox game tonight. (Well, I listened to most of it, and watched the end)

Boy, those White Sox can play some baseball.

And, boy, it’s somehow comforting to actually feel like a Red Sox fan again. The last year was really strange.

So, welcome back to the world we all remember, fellow Red Sox fans.

It was heartbreaking to watch them lose like that. They looked so broken in the end.

Once we blew the bases-loaded, no-one-out situation in the seventh, I thought, "Stick a fork in the Sox -- they're done."

I do think, at least for me, there's less angst this year, since the Sox did win the whole thing last year. This time around it wasn't the Curse, just being outpitched and outhit by a better team.

Yeah. I saw the bases loaded no out before I left work and couldn't believe they got NO runs out of it. I'm reduced to rooting for the Angels with my friends out here, and maybe the Astros for Clemens.

From what I saw in this series, I'll be rooting for the White Sox.

I saw the end of the Red Sox game at Yankee Stadium, standing in line for an $8 hot dog. I never knew there were so many White Sox fans in New York. :)

No shit, eh?

Well, at least the Yankees are out of it too. Joe Torre seemed even more upset about that than last year's collapse.

The prospect of being unemployed will do that to a guy.
