It's About that Time

This is what it all boils down to.


I don't talk about the Red Sox often because even though there is plenty of great things that happen throughout the year, none of it really matters until September, October. With an exception to one Mr. David Ortiz, maybe.

But, it all really doesn't matter until now. In uniformed fashion, we chase the Yankees with a chance at the playoffs on the line. I'm ready for us to blow it as to soften the blow if it actually happens. And the whole city is gearing up to go bananas. This is the greatest city to be in for sports. Even when teams suck, people still get intoxicated and scream. It's a way for Boston men to get away from it all, and have an excuse for it.

What do New Yorkers do. Well, criminal things,...let's see...talk to loud, sell out, act condescendingly. People I know that live in Boston, and come from New York don't even know the players on their teams, and this goes for mostly guys! What's up with that? And the majority of New Yorkers here in Boston are overwhelmingly materialistic. They think the whole point to life is to chase the proverbial carrot, because that's how their successful counterparts back in their hometown live. Envy can be a heck of a female dog, as well as a sin.

It's gross dude. Totally gross, and they just trot along until this time of the year comes up and they get all into the season. "You're going down Red Sox!" Shut your mouth, ya little freak. Clean up your city, it stinks. Crime is so bad, you have people routinely writing comic books about superheroes saving citizens in your city for crackers sake.

I'm digressing, the point is that I decided to take my Biology course on Friday nights because I was originally scheduled for Sunday mornings. I had to switch that day because the NFL is on Sunday. Now, the first game of the Sox / Yankees are on tonight, and I have to sit through a lecture and a lab tonight and miss the whole thing. Instead of watching the game I'll be doing this.

Ironic justice I guess, but I do have the weekend to look forward to. Not to mention, one of those Sundays where the Patriots play at 1 pm, and the Sox/Yankees are on at 2 pm. This always plays out for some weird moments, as the fans are watching both games even in Gillette Stadium. So you have a couple occurrences where Patriots fans cheer for an opposing teams play, because the Red Sox just made a play. Very odd, and even the players don't like it much.

Just shows how sick we really are.

You Wussy.
