{Monday. . Monday}
Aside from it being Monday and Amanda's birthday it's also - *OPENING DAY* at Fenway Park! My beloved Red Sox recieve their World Series rings and play (and hopefully beat) the Yankees. Ah, nothin' like it!which leads me to ponder - as a Red Sox fan. .is this season ALREADY a disappointment? Weird thought right, but follow me, if you will. i am 25 years old i have grown up with the Sox. i have grown up with the "curse", i have grown up with the knowledge that but for a man named billy buckner, 86 years would not have been (true it would have been 68 years. . but who's counting??). Mike Greenwell, Roger Clemens, "Oil Can" Boyd - these are the boys of summer from my youngest years, giving way to Tim Naehring, Darren Bragg, Mo Vaughn, Tim Wakefield, Nomah (hehe) Garciaparra, Manny Ramirez, Curt Schilling, and Johnny Damon.
I'm familiar with the spring training mantra "this is the year" . . .but last year really WAS the year. . . .and. . .what do we talk about now???? there's no curse. .the boys took care of that in St. Louis, there's no chants of 1918 in opposing stadiums . . there's just the knowledge that we are the champions. . . . . somewhat bittersweet wouldn't you say?
anyway. . i love baseball season no matter what the outcome - for 24 years of my life on this earth it was always a disappointment - and i loved them anyway. . .and i love them even more now :)
i will end with a VERY immature thought (since i've acknowledged it as such there is NO chance i can get accused of it later on LOL) - it's somehow so satisfying to have the Yankees in Fenway today - as our boys recieve their much deserved championship rings, and hoist that well-earned world series banner.
**PLAY BALL**
