Rolling Rally

Well I have some video of Papelbon playing a broom guitar today, but am having trouble loading it. I'll play with it more tomorrow...

It Ain't Over Til the Big Papi Swings

Things are looking pretty good in Red Sox Nation, but we'll also be the first to tell you (and the Yankees) not to count your chicks before they're hatched. Sure no team has ever come back in the playoffs after being down 0-3 besides the Red Sox greats of 2004, and never in the World Series, but anything can happen. A win tonight would give the Sox their 2nd World Series sweep in 4 years, and how sweet it would be...

Good luck boys!

World Series Here We Come!

Dear Josh Beckett,

I love you. Good luck tonight!

Just Like a Prayer

One Win Can Take Us There
Just Like a Muse to Me
We Need a Victory
Just Like a Dream
You Are My Favorite Team
Just Like a Prayer
Come Back to Fenway, I'll Meet You There!

Our Father, who art at Fenway...
Baseball be thy game.
Thy Kingdom come,
Playoffs need to be won,
On Earth, then on to the Cask 'n' Flagon.
Give us this day, a perfect Papi,
And forgive us our losses,
As we forgive those,
Like Bill Buckner.
And lead us not into desperation,
But deliver us from losing.
For thine is the Power,
And the Glory,
To beat the Indians,
Now and forever.
Amen

8 Friends and 3 Kids

Yesterday the Hub and I went to The Stacks house to meet the new baby and spend time with friends. It was such a great time despite the disappointing Sox loss (effin' Gagne. I cringed when I saw him coming in and said some not very nice words at the TV).

Here's Cameron James sleeping like a little angel. He is SO tiny!

















David took a liking to Mr. Potato Head's glasses.

















And gleefully pushed Brady around the living room.






Brady opened his presents and really liked his new truck full of cars.






We brought food to the new parents of two. I made homemade spaghetti and meatballs (ok Prince made the spaghetti), and mushroom turnovers. P. Sophie and the Doc brought the treasured Yuengling, salad, garlic bread and dessert: an ice cream cake and humongous Red Sox chocolate chip cookie. Brian made some homemade potato skins and Erica some yummy cookies. We had quite the feast!

It was great to see you all, and way too short.

Happy Birthday Brady!

It seems like just yesterday we were visiting newborn Brady in the hospital, and now he is two!













I can't believe how fast his first 2 years went and he's not even my kid!













Keep smiling Brady. We love you!


















Brady's 1st Birthday

Gotta Love October Baseball!

Oh, how I love baseball, and baseball in October is even better.
The Sox are up 2-0 over the Angels, and the poor NY "Empire" is down 0-2. The Curse of the A-Rod strikes again.

Anyways, with all the excitement I found this fun clip of the magic that was 2004.


GO RED SOX!!!!
