From There to Here

I’ve got no clever title for this blog entry.
It’s been a while since I updated, but I wanted to write something down about this. Something that chronicles how I feel, what I think and where I’m at.
I’ve never loved any sports team more than I loved the 2004 Boston Red Sox. The collection […]

Before 2001, it was a little difficult to be a Boston sports fan.
Between 1986 and 2001, Boston sports fans exhibited nothing but heartbreak. The Celtics won the 1985-86 NBA Championship, but then the losing began. The Boston Red Sox lost to the Mets in 1986, killing a fan base that had waited so many years. […]

Really? Are you kidding me?

Mike Timlin in a game where we can put away the Devil Rays?
Mike sends me a message at 1 a.m. - “Please don’t let us see Timlin.”
Oops.
This one has to be on Francona. He had other options in either Paul Byrd or Tim Wakefield. He refused to use Byrd in the […]

I’m physically, mentally and emotionally exhausted after last night. I just finished a midterm I spent most of yesterday studying for.
And for some reason, through this exhaustion, I haven’t felt tired all day.
It’s because I keep going to Boston.com. ESPN. The Boston Herald. CBS Sportsline. MLB.com. Sons of Sam Horn.
I can’t get over last night’s […]

I saw this on Deadspin.com and simply had to post it. Because when I go back and look at Red Sox tags, I want to laugh my ass off. The actual story is on Roto-World, here.

Last season at Fenway, a funny thing happened in Section 41. About 10 guys were there to celebrate some guy’s […]

Blogging’s going to be sporadic over the next few days, as I’m heading to Washington DC for the NCNA Annual Meeting and the Nonprofit Congress. I haven’t spent a weekend in DC since I was visiting Kim maybe in September/October 2004? That’s crazy.
I’m completely in love with the city, and it’ll be nice to see […]

Went to the Sox game tonight and watched them come up big with a 7-6 win. While Wakefield got staked to an early 5-1 lead thanks to a two-run double and a two-run homer by Mike Lowell, the Sox let the Brewers back into the game with sloppy defense. Luckily, the Brewers played even worse […]

I want to make it clear: I’ve always been, first and foremost, a Sox fan. I wasn’t a huge NBA guy since I remember watching Jordan and the Bulls run through the league in the ’90s. I don’t know if I was a Bulls fan, but I liked watching them: Jordan was simply incredible, his […]

I’m about to head to Fenway for the Sox game, but the weather might not cooperate.
Class was class, but now the real fun begins. I honestly don’t mind my classes at Suffolk. There’s some cool people in the class with me, the topics are interesting and helpful and the professors are pretty good. I’m just […]

My work week is pretty nice this week. With my vacation days on Monday and Tuesday and school on Friday, I’m not really making much of an appearance at work this week, except for the 16 hours I’ll be there on yesterday and today.
I’m definitely looking forward to this weekend when I go to my […]
