Good Day For Red Sox Fans

October 1, 2007 ·

Candace and I were so excited to watch the Red Sox win the AL East pennant on Friday night. Once they won their game, we were waiting on every pitch to see if the Yankees were going to lose. As soon as they did, it clinched the division for Boston. (Even Cole was excited. He hasn’t missed a Red Sox game since he’s been alive you know.) We’re also excited because their first round is with Anaheim so Candace and I are going down this weekend to watch the Sox and the Angels play.

But even we weren’t excited as the Red Sox themselves were that night. After their game in Boston, they stayed in the locker room and watched the Yankees game until they lost. Once that happened an hour later, they rolled back out to the field and there were still thousands of fans there who were also celebrating.

The best part of the evening is the way the team celebrated. Their care free nature is part of the reason I follow the team so closely. Below is a video of their celebration. Even if you aren’t a baseball fan, you’ll probably appreciate the dancing. Kevin Youkilis is one of the best first basemen in baseball. He has zero errors this year (a new AL record) and a high batting average. Jonathan Papelbon is one of the most intimidating and successful closers in baseball. But in this clip, they’re both little kids celebrating their win. (Be sure to stick thru to the last half. The second dance is the winner.)

Part of that second dance reminds me of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. The second part of the second dance reminds me of something you would do.

Brian…you know I love your sweet sweet soul. That being said, I HATE los calcetines rojas!!! By the way, this comment may have to do with the fact that the Mets just finished the biggest choke job in MLB history. Mets=Poop in my heart right now. Go Yankees, oooooooooh. I wish I was in Vegas to watch these games w/ you and Kenny on the TV to root against ya’ll. Have fun in Anaheim. We will be down the street on Friday to go to the Land which Walt built.

That’s funny Jamie because the first dance that Papelbon did reminded me of you.

I think Humphrey Bogart said it best, “A hot dog at a ballgame beats roast beef at the Ritz.”
I’m an Angels fan, but I wish your Sox the best of luck — ‘Cause, let’s face it, Anaheim’s where the magic’s at!

Why can they do that in baseball and not football?Jamie, I can come and sing Seven Brides for 7 Bro’s for you ANY TIME. Just tell me when and where.

Taylor, I didn’t know you were a Mets guy. Wow that was a bad end to the season.

And I agree with you, watching sports is fun. Watching sports with others is even better. I can’t get Kenny around to often to watch but Candace has REALLY gotten into sports these last couple years. When I married her I didn’t even know she’d be a person that could give me the starting lineup and rotation of the Red Sox. Talk about a win-win.
