The game
July 10, 2008
So last night the old lady was ragging me about watching the game all the way to the end, again. I get this from everyone who isn't a fan. Why watch a game all the way to the end when the score is so lopsided? Well when it's the Sox beating the pi** outta someone I love to see that, but when they're getting beating I still have hope that they'll come back... Remember in September '04 when the Sox were losing 7-0 and then scored 8 runs in the 9th to win the game and beat that team not worth mentioning? So was that game worth watching? You bet your season tickets it was, possibly the best game that year...so imagine if I had gone to sleep...
I love it when the Sox trounce someone, but isn't there something sweet about the comeback? Last night we had both of those scenarios. One minute we're losing and the next we're up 7-4. You gotta love this team. I can't imagine being a fan of any other team, and I watch some of the other teams for when we play them, or just because I'm bored.... But there is something about that wonderful Boston B that keeps me hooked and makes me feel like a child at Christmas right before the games start. No matter how bad my days are, and I've had some doozies, the Sox are always that bright spot in my day. I have the Yankee toilet paper and the John Lester ring tone, but nothing beats watching a game on NESN while the old lady pouts about it in the next room....
