Toeing the Rubber

I’m reading NESN.com this morning, which, if you haven’t gone there you should.  They put up the post-game vids before anyone else plus they have classic videos too and good blogs to read.

In spite of all the good, here is one of their promotional headlines today:

SOX IN TWO:  SEE THE RED SOX LOSE TO THE YANKEES 19-8 AT FENWAY, 2PM ET

Yes.  This is something we want to re-live.  Thank you, NESN, for making it available to us.

God is teasing me by shining beautiful sun through my skylight, isn’t he?  Granted, there’s fog outside the house too, but some sun is finding its way through.  A quick glimpse at Weather.com tells me there is an 80% chance of rain in Boston today at 4pm.  Woo.  I bet, after last night, Fox is sorry they changed their Game of the Week to this one.  The game is meaningless, the weather is crappy…woo let’s show it on national television!

I’ll be heading to Fenway for the last time this season (for real this time!) in a little while.  The way I feel, I wonder how the guys who play the games actually feel.  I just want these last two games done so the playoffs can start.

Although, it’ll be nice to be in Fenway at a Sox/Yanks game where there’s no tension about the game.

So here’s hoping for a good game, not too terrible weather and a great day for everyone.  :)
