I (still) Love That Dirty Water

Boston you're my home!

So the end has come for our beloved home team, and being swept was a shame; but what our world needs now is a little love coupled with 5 healthy doses of perspective...

Perspective #1: 95 Ws

The 2005 season housed a winning team, and a record of 95 wins is nothing to squawk about when reflecting upon this disappointing end.

AL STANDINGS:

Team.......W---L

Red Sox....95-67
Yankees....95-67
Blue Js.....80-82
Orioles.....74-88
Dev Rays...67-95


Perspective #2: Eight is Great!

Only the 8 best MLB teams make it to October baseball, and our boys achieved that feat yet again this year.

Perspective #3: What a Wonderful World in Off-Season Baseball

Decisions, decisions...this winter will be more interesting than a hatch-opening series premiere of Lost. Why? Because we lost and now Theo (if he's resigned) and his stat analyst cronies will have to kick it up a notch in preparation for another comeback year.

Perspective #4: We'll always have last year...

A blissful hard-to-describe-feeling that sings the tune of joy, relief, disbelief, love, pride, gratefulness ...the list goes on and on...but it can be most accurately summed up in 2 words--THE BEST.

Perspective #5: Now we can focus on that other great sports team...

The Patriots!

Ah yes, that was going to be my next post. I actually forgot to watch that game and just read about it online. When the Red Sox are out, the season officially dies for me.
