Effin’ Boston Red Sox
Lemme tell you this, if the Red Sox come all the way back and beat the Tampa Bay Rays in this series… The Yankee/Red Sox rivalry has just ratcheted up another level.
When I read the news today, oh boy, that the Red Sox came back from a 7-0 deficit to the Rays, it just stoked all those really bad bad memories of recent years. As much as I’ve tried to bury the thoughts of the way the Red Sox came back from a three games to none deficit in 2004 against our vaunted New York Yankees, this has just caused them to resurface yet again.
From this day forward (at least through this weekend), I’m truly blue Tampa Bay Ray. They had better not let me down. The thought of the Boston / Philadelphia World Series might be just too much to bear. BTW, Mets fans, is there a team that YOU despise more than the Philadelphia Phillies? Especially what they’ve done to you the last two years — Ok, truth be told, the wounds were self-inflicted. But, still I’m sure you need/want/prefer to have a scapegoat.
Can next season please come soon again? I say we put it to a vote. We skip winter, and start right up with the Spring again. Are you with me?
C’mon Rays! Does anyone know their fight song? Do they have one? Do they have a team song? A chant? A lucky hanky? Geez, they didn’t even have real fans until now. And, now they’ve got me. GO RAYS!!!
