I cant even think of anything else to write about right now besides the tragedy that was Boston sports this weekend. What a disappointment. Is it possible that our reign as greatest sports town in the world is coming to an end? I hope not but that's how it's looking. I'm not a crazy sports fanatic, but I love being from Boston and I love when we win. I have been to every championship rally and parade since the Pat's first one when I was in middle school. Sports are just something that brings people together, especially around here. If you have ever been to one of those rallies you know what I mean. It's a weird thing that's hard to explain but your in a place, with all of these people who you don't know but you are somehow connected to them; by a sense of pride and love for Boston. That description doesn't do it justice, but It's pretty awesome. I remember being in my dorm room when the Sox won the world series for the 2nd time. I lived in crimson at the time and people went crazy. We all ran outside and into the miles and dinardo courtyard. Everyone was just jumping around and screaming and chanting ridiculous chants like Yankees Suck. It was amazing. That is definitely up there with my favorite memories at Bridgewater. I didn't know half of the people outside that night, just like when you go to a Pats or Sox game you don't know anyone, but your all Boston sports fans, which is a strong tie. Once again, I love being from Boston and having amazing sports teams that bring this town together regardless of income, gender, race, religion or anything else. It's a shame that we have to rely on something like sports to look past these things. On the other hand, I guess we should be grateful for the brief moments of bliss that our teams have provided us with. Here's to hoping that we get a few more of the moments in the future.
I have to say im die hard for all 4 sports here in Boston. This weekend I realized that watching your teams disapoint just as much if not more when your at the bar.
ReplyDeleteI'm a die hard sports fan too. Boston's dynasty is not coming to an end!! No other city in America has all 4 of there sports teams making the playoffs. The percent of winning championships are about 3% and we have had 6 championships this decade. I think the Pats will win 1 more b4 Brady retires. Celtics will win 1 more before KG retires. The Bruins will win 2 or 3 in the next decade. The Sox failed this year but will always be a championship contender. So Laurie hang in there.

ReplyDeleteThis past weekend was certainly a horror show. It was just that we lost, it was the way we lost. Both teams just blew their respective games. I know that football is fickle and anything can happen but come on. The Red Sox though! How can you blow a 5 run lead like that especially with one of THE premier closers in all of baseball. Yuck!!! There is always next season though...YUCK
ReplyDeleteI agree with what you say that it is said that we have to use sports to be united and look past differences, but I guess that is part of why they are so important to us all. As for the end of Boston's reign, I am going to have to agree with everyone else, that it's not done yet. The Pats still have time to turn it around, Brady just still needs more time to get used to playing with the brace, and he needs to get used to the new personnel around him, especially the wide-receiver core, and the new Offensive coordinator. As for the Sox there's the usual cliche line with there's always next year, and hopefully our pitching won't have as many injuries.
