How SWEEP It Is...

Now that we have swept the Angels, I can finally say, "YESSSSSSS!! We won, We Won, WE WON!!"

I don't consider myself a stupidstitious, uhh...I mean, superstitious person...unless, of course, we're talking baseball. You see, if I have learned anything in my 33 years of being a Red Sox fan (yes, I've been a fan since birth...that's the way it is with Sox fans...you're just born into it.) anyway, as I was saying...if I've learned anything in all my years as a Sox fan, I've learned that you NEVER say a word about whether you will win or lose until the game is over. We have a knack for leading a game and then losing in the bottom of the 9th...it's a gift...or a curse...depending on how you look at it.

This was a great series. Beckett was phenomenal and Schilling, reliable as always. Manny and Big Papi had their bats swinging...we scored a total of 19 runs, 5 of those were home runs...the most memorable of those being Manny's walk off homer in Game 2. Here's a picture of his crossing home plate...LOVE IT!


And Ortiz has a batting average of .714 for this post season so far. They played hard...they played well. I love these boys!!!

Now...it's time for them to rest up for the AL Championship...the big question is...will we be playing the Indians or the dirty scum bags Yankees? I was originally hoping that the Indians would sweep the Yanks...but I've decided, since NY won today...they may as well win the next one too...that way, they have to play Game 5 and whoever we end up playing in the Division play-off has only had a day to rest up...giving us the advantage. Although...the idea of Joe Torre standing in line at the unemployment office makes me terribly happy. A Yankees loss is a win for us...whether we're playing them or not. :)

Looking forward to Friday...I'm optimistic, but realistic. You never know how these games will play out...and while I'm hoping for a win, I'm just excited to be along for the ride.

GO RED SOX!!!

My favorite celebration picture...notice Youkilis' goggles...cracks me up!
