Few things make me miss Boston more than when watching a Red Sox game, let alone one as fantastic as tonight's game - arguably a sweep to rival the Reverse Sweep of 2004. OK, maybe not quite.
I received an elated call from the bro who asked if I was watching as I heard Varitek claim the 4th straight homer in the background. Terrible fan that I am, I not only did not remember the Sox were playing the Yankees, but I don't even have cable. Or a subscription to MLB.com. Having met no Sox fan neighbors or nearby pals who would be remotely interested or available, I did what any self-respecting member of the Red Sox Nation would do.
I went to a sports bar by myself.
Well, not by myself exactly. I had my text messaging friends:
"what's with the pitchers' necklaces?"
"it's pimpstyle"
"matsuzaka sucks."
So, fine, it was somewhat sad. But totally worth it when I got props from the other Sox fans for showing up solo, and even more worth it when Papelbon smoked Jeter and Damon.
Suckers.

So. Proud. Way to represent! I was sporting my bosox hat last night and got heckled by obnoxious NYorkers in DC.....and enjoyed every minute of it....
jason and kim were AT THE GAME. great game - boston is on this first spring weekend, yankee beating high.
this is freakily connected to the comment i JUST posted on holli's blog. you must check it out!
also, NB people: the sox beat up on ROOKIE pitchers this weekend while their aces got creamed. none of these games was even close to a blowout. which says a lot for yankee minor-league pitching, and a little less for the sox's offseason moves. i mean, as much as you can base on one series.
just a little point from over here in bittersville. i will go back to eating my humble pie now.
i don't see anything on Holli's blog!
I just popped over here after reading Holli's blog (and Becca's comment) and I thought it was kind of eerie too.
