Boy, this thread sure has been boring this year without me!
Went to the game today on a whim after taking mom to brunch and a museum. Scored a nice $40-face-value seat for $15 in the bottom of the 1st. And what do I get? A 6-run ninth inning rally to win 6-5. OMG I love these guys. With the AL East crown and Super Bowl XLII already locked up, this city is one clutch lottery ping-pong ball away from total big-3 sports domination. It is new though, as a Sox fan, being in a situation where anything besides a championship would be a failure. I mean, this team is
so good and built for postseason play. Fortunately most Sox fans have been through this recently with the Patriots so it\'s not completely new. But wow, the Boston Red Sox are the
indisputable favorite to win the World Series. The preceding statement has only existed as fact for 24 hours before now; that being the 24 hours between game 3 and game 4 of the 2004 World Series. See you in October! (Unless you\'re a Yankees fan. Say something now Yankees fan, cause come October it\'s gonna be cricket city in the Bronx!)
