It's Baseball Season, Baby!!!
Oh to be at Fenway Park this afternoon for the Sox home opener & the presentation of the WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONSHIP RINGS!!! Yeah, baby! After 86 years, it will be SO sweet to have the ring ceremony in front of those blasted Yankees! Woo-hoo!!!!
In other baseball news (not like there's really any other baseball news today except for the above-mentioned ceremony...), Mr. E & I saw Fever Pitch yesterday, and it's definitely a flick that will be added to our movie collection once it's released. Not that it's an oustandingly fabulous movie, but the scenes of Boston and the Red Sox and Fenway Park make it a necessary addition to any self-respecting Red Sox fan's collection. And yes, I admit, I was smiling so hard at times that I had tears in my eyes, especially seeing Foulke's light toss to make that last out against St. Louis in the 4th game of the Series... Whew! Felt like the same emotional roller-coaster all over again!
And finally, a nod to my new home-town boys, the Sacramento River Cats. Mr. E & I braved the chilly temps on Friday (mid-50s with wind chill of -10) and bundled ourselves into warm clothes and gloves/mittens to see the Cats take on the Portland Beavers (gotta love that team name...). A rather fast game that was led by the Cats until the top of the 9th when a Beaver hit a two-run homer just over the glove of the Cats center-fielder to tie the game. We settled in for a bit and were rewarded by a Cats win in the bottom of the 10th. Even with the extra inning, the game was over before 10pm. Ahh... the joys of minor league ball!
Yes, baseball season has returned. All hail the greatest sport on earth!!!

GO SOX! It is with deep regret that I must go and see them without you. I shall cheer them onto victory over the dreaded A's. Remember, your curse is over, now only Billy Goat Curse remains....
LNJ-
I was glued to the TV this morning to watch the game and see the team get their rings. The BoSox hold one hell of a class operation and to see the fans adn the team react as they did... just wonderful.
