As the honeymoon approaches, I realize something very important... I am not going to be able to watch the entire Yankees/Red Sox series.
It isn't like I would go out of my way to find the game while on the trip as I will probably not knwo who won until I get back! However, there IS something very magical about the Red Sox and Yankees that makes watching baseball that much more interesting come October. I will miss this very much.
Their history goes back a century, and I need to remind you the reader of something important about this series. I have heard too many people refer to the Boston Red Sox curse as though it is a curse that has something to do with the Yankees. It has nothing to do with the Yankees. The curse is specifically that the Red Sox cannot win the World Series. The fact that the Yankees screw them up a lot is irrelevant.
Alright... last night was an amazing game. Just some thoughts...as I get ready to miss games 3 through whatever...
1. Mussina was pure magic and then the Sox figured him out. Good job Moose.
2. An 8 run lead in games like these mean absolutely nothing. I am telling you. This is just magic.
3. I knew Tom Gordon would be a problem. He has never been a good pitcher in the playoffs.
4. How nervous was I when Ortiz came up to bat in the 8th down by three with two on base> He has the Yanks's number normally and dammit... he got that double.
5. I Heart Enter Sandman
6. Matsui is a God(zilla)
7. At the end there... what can I say? BERNIE... BERNIE... BERNIE....
Whatever... I will just have to root for them in spirit and from 35,000 feet in the air.

Some people like my husband seemed to think midway through the season that Bernie wouldn't be in pinstripes next year. Bernie's always been my favorite and I think his place as a Yankee is pretty damn secure for the next season!! Let's go Yankees!!
