mamajoanWah! The Sox lost their first game of the season. Guess I'm glad I didn't give in to temptation and rush home to watch the game (boss was out sick, so I could have).
What a weird game too. Tied at 11 after five innings, then neither team scored for the next three! We're not at all worried about Pedro Martinez giving up eight runs (seven earned) in three innings. Nope. Not worried at all.
I'm excited, though; it's always such a long sad winter between the end of the baseball season and the beginning of the new season. Even though it makes me even *more* likely, of a given evening, to sit on my ass all night staring at the TV -- even though it can certainly make my other viewing habits more complicated -- even though every Red Sox fan is destined for disappointment ("You Keep Me Hangin' On" by the Supremes is our theme song) -- even though all that is true, I still look forward to baseball season every year. There's nothin' like it.

musesfool has been waxing poetic on the joys of baseball. I'd do the same, but I'm just grouchy at the moment from PMS and general irritations. So, read what she wrote instead. It's all true. Except for the part about the Yankees -- everyone knows that YANKEES SUCK!

(And yes! A Cubs/Red Sox series! Someday before we both die! *g*)

You Gotta Believe.
Uh, oops, Mets slogan. Sorry. *g*
