You’ll be swell! You’ll be great! Gonna have the whole world on the plate! Starting here, starting now. Honey, everything’s coming up roses! -Ethel Merman
Public Service Announcement: OK, here we go! For Boston, for Boston, thy glory is our own. For Boston, for Boston, ’tis here that truth is known. The truth is there is no better time to be a Boston sports fan. If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times, there’s nothing better than blogging when your teams are winning. My teams are winning. Winning big.
The Boston Red Sox after winning their second World Series in four years are at Fenway to face the hated New York Yankees. Both teams are struggling. Both teams are banged up. It doesn’t matter. And even if we win, if we win, HAH! Even if we win! Even if we play so far above our heads that our noses bleed for a week to ten days; even if God in Heaven above comes down and points his hand at our side of the field; even if every man woman and child held hands together and prayed for us to win, it just wouldn’t matter because all the really good looking girls would still go out with the guys from Mohawk because they’ve got all the money! IT JUST DOESN’T MATTER!
It doesn’t matter that World Series MVP Mike Lowell is out. Casey’s at the bat. Sean Casey, a .302 career hitter in his 12th major league season, went 2-for-5 with a double and three RBIs in his second start with his new club. This Yankees ballclub is a former shell of the team they used to be. The Red Sox sweep. Mark my words.
And how ’bout them Celtics. Them juggernaut Celtics. Them sluggernaut Celtics. Them punch you in your muggernaut Celtics. Vegas has the Celtics to win it all. Vegas has the Celtics as 8:5 favorites to take it on the chin it all. Paul Pierce. Kevin Garnett. Ray Allen. Rajon Rondo. Kendrick Perkins. The best basketball team in all the land.
Don’t forget about the Bruins. The NHL playoff Bruins. Sure they’re down one zip to the hated Habs. Sure All-Star center Marc Savard is still hurting from back problems stemming from a hit he received the last time these two teams faced off. Sure forward Chuck Kobasew has a broken leg from a shot by teammate Zdeno Chara a few weeks ago. Sure the defensive corps are still hurting. What, me worry? Not a chance. Patrice Bergeron, has been cleared for full-contact practice after sustaining a devastating concussion back in October and is only a matter of days away from returning. You know what that spells? Bad news for the Canadiens.
What about the Patriots. Yes, they lost the Super Bowl. Yes, their undefeated season went down the toilet. But I ask this: How did your team do? Unless your team is the New York football Giants, your team was not as good. Let me ask this too. How’s your team gonna do next year? Unless your team is the New England football Patriots, you don’t stand a chance.
Boston College baby! Boston College. Hockey Krishnas rejoice! Hockey, hockey. Krishna, Krishna. Last night, Boston College shook the world. A butt kicking. An ass whooping. A butt kicking, ass whooping, blow-out over the Fighting Sioux of North Dakota as Boston College as the Screamin’ Eagles scream into the frozen finals.
The New England Revolution went to the MLS finals for the second straight year.
Boston College football won the ACC Atlantic and quarterback Matt Ice Ryan stands to be the best quarterback in the upcoming draft.
I’m no prophet and I don’t know nature’s ways. So I’ll try and see into your eyes right now. So stay right here ’cause these are the good old days. Yes Boston fans, these are the good old days. Enjoy them while they last. Relish them. Drink them in. It doesn’t get any better than this.
