Red Sox Lose Game 7 = Ouch (and weekend links) |
4 Comments |
Anytime the Red Sox season ends without a champagne shower, I get a little sad. I probably wouldn't be as sad if they were a .500 team. It's not often in your life, when your hometown team can contend at a high level for a number of years. When you find yourself in that situation (as the Red Sox are), you hope to make the most of it - rack up as many titles as you can.
On the other side of the coin, in 2004 I made an educated, non-financial, bet that the Devil Rays would compete at a top level in 2008. (Yes, they will always be the Devil Rays to me.) It wouldn't feel weird to me if they won the World Series this year. In some ways, I feel like I've already been there and seen them do that. (And watch out for 2010, because I'm feeling the Devil Rays that year as well.)

Well, since my husband is a Yankees fan (he’s from NY), we’ve been watching this one. I’ve never seen him so excited — except when actually cheering for his own team. The real partisan sniping in this country is Red Sox v. Yankees…
Thanks for the links to some great resources.
As a Braves fan I certainly agree that enjoying a team that’s able to play at a high level is something you’ve got to savor while it lasts. At least it looks like we’re in the market for a pitching upgrade for next year.
They were almost there, but could not quite finish it off. They still have something for the record books though, having the greatest playoff comeback in the history of baseball
I’d much rather have seen the Phillies lose than the Red Sox, but I’ll take what I can get. Go Rays! :)
